But, anyone that knows anything about "äutomobiles", ( and I think that you do!) knows that Porsche produces a legendary vehicle,....I'll never own one, WAY out of my league.
I'm not "pretentious", but if I had the dollars, I'd own a GT2RS, or a Turbo S in a heartbeat.
IMHO, a sensationally engineered vehicle, with performance to prove it.

Nope, sorry, Porshes don't do it for me. Also the laziest designers in the world. Wouldn't know a GT2RS if it bit me on the bum - they all look the same - kind of like the new line up of Land Rovers - all the bloody same too...

Wouldn't drive one if I was given one - would put it on Gumtree straight away.

Not 2 words I'd put together in the same sentance myself by a long shot. 😊

When you see a Formula 1 car, Indy car, F3 car, open wheeler, supercar, top fuel dragster, go cart, etc, with the engine anywhere other than mid rear, and with anything other than rwd or rear biased awd, let me know, and we can see where the discussion goes then.

Current Porsche's are possibly more pure to their original mission statement than current Range Rovers. Road going porsches arent trying to go offroad, but current range rovers are trying to be more a porsche than an offroad limo.

And when you don’t quote the POS Boxster as a “performance” vehicle you might have my attention.

Boxster isn’t even the Freelander of the Porsche world.

IIRC, the D3 4.4 was the Jag motor. The M62 was used in early L322s.
