Mate, that is simply not correct.
Not saying the Evo ain't a great car, but there's plenty of cars under $250K that would cream it.
In it's price range, and in its day, for sure a great car, but including cars up to $250K?,....No way.

I test drove a boxster with a mate and the are a lot of fun for the money.

Wouldn't buy a Porshe if it was the last car on earth... Pretentious cars for pretentious people... 😉

Perhaps 20 years ago!!!!

Now they’re Front, Mid/Rear and AWD..

Skid - what happens when you lock brakes up...
Burn out - what happens when HP overcomes traction!

C'Mon Gav.
Mate, you are not silly, you know the truth,..you know that, & so do I.
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.
