Rep Power: 0 i believe the 996 gt2 is faster than the 996 gt3
the gt2 also cost more, rated at higher horsepower
if it wasn't worth every penny, i am sure most men in this world won't dream porsche

Rep Power: 0 You're paying for quality, performance, precision, and prestige. These cars are built perfectly and they perform perfectly. If no one agreed, they'd be outta business. This is like asking why someone would spend $300k on a Bentley when they could by a Lincoln. It's all about the build and performance and the long lasting prestige that comes with it.

Rep Power: 0 having actually owned 2, i can say that nothing, NOTHING compares to a porsche
first, you've got the build quality. sure, Sh_t breaks and they are high maintanince. BUT, you KNOW when thigns are going to break and you know what needs to be serviced. that, and when your porsche is being serviced, they don't do things like REUSE bolts. thats why you see them running around with 200+k miles on them
second, you have the power and agility, with performance that is just unmatched whether you're flying down the autobahn, or winding through the alps... or in my case, back country roads of nj and pa :/
third. COMFORT. in a porsche you could do 120 all day long, they're comfortable, well annointed, and quiet
practicality. what other car in it's class gets gas milage like a porsche? an NSX, sure... but to really compete you'd have to boost the nsx... and there goes that...
let's see... matching luggage designed to optimize storage space for the weekend roadtrip with the misses
TEQUIPMENT.
plus, there's a massive aftermarket for porsches... supercharger systems for the 944, 500hp turbo upgrades for the 951, 500hp from 2.5 liters!!!!, want an 800hp 911? NO PROBLEM, if you have the loot...

Rep Power: 0 I personally think most of them are an ugly car.... Just my opinion... Id rather spend the money an get an AUDI RS6.... Twinturbo 2.7 V6 at 450 Hp, that or the same motor in the new Audi TTs. Matter of preference. A car is a car :-)

Rep Power: 0 Porsche's are way fast great looks and a decent price for what you get the only porsche i complain about is the the boxter . It cost way to much for what you get . You are basically paying 50000 for a s2000 becasue thats what the perfomance is equal too . The s2000 even come with a 6 speed and the boxter comes with a 5 speed . and the boxter has a 6 cylinder so why only 228 horses the s200 has a 4 cylinder and has 240 . So what gives lower the price or give it more performance . But all the other porsche's are way sick and way fast .

Rep Power: 0 the boxster was made so that the poor man could say that he owns a ford. Just like the older guys in chicago that own the beaten down, rusted through mercedes benz, why do they own it. So they can tell women the drive a mercedes.
