Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

996/997/991
early 80s

assuming we are just talking about this vs 964 and 993 - ie not pre-89

Daily driver, weekend fun car, or garage queen investment?

i'd maybe have a 991 over a 964/993, but i;ll go with 964/993

late 70s

992 Touring. Late 80s

Born in 84. 964 in Rubystone or Rivera Blue.
I would take a 993 or a 996 or 997 in the right spec though.

I'd be most interested in a 997. I was born in 1973.

I may not be the target audience, though.

In the fairly unlikely event that I were to buy a Porsche, my interest in it would be as a fast, comfortable, reasonably practical fun to drive car. Not nerd value, investment value, classic car status, rarity value or anything like that. So I'd want something fairly recent and reliable.

Probably a Carrera 4S, just to upset purists even more.

born in 91, would take a 964

1985

Air cooled, because 993 GT2 > 930 flatnose > 964 turbo

I was born in the early 80s, and the 964 was the Porsche I remember as a kid, so I guess that's the one I really lust after from an aesthetic and nostalgic perspective.

I moved to LA last year and bought a 2000 996.1 C2 which is a hell of a car, not just for the money - I tried out an early 70s 911s, a 996 Turbo, and a 991.2 GTS in the Canyons around here - all amazing cars in their own right - the 996 was slap bang in the middle of the two - with the right balance of refinement and raw enjoyment, with the Gundo hack it sounds amazing, black/natural brown leather looks amazing, I love the silhouette, and the GT1 headlights (This was the current Porsche when I was learning to drive) - I'd still love a 964 one day, but I feel I might be a bit disappointed with it.
