The definition of Porsche

[allmotoronly]

Porsche's are made to be driven. They can handle hundreds of thousands of miles. Ferrari's and lamborghini's are made to be garage queens. You have to service them every 10k miles at a cost thats more than a new honda civic each time.

so basically , porsche = the practical supercar?

porsche= functional supercar

[Benefit]

so theres no downsides about porsche's?

[Frög]

no really...i KNEW that the gt or 959 were about to mentioned as soon as ferrari and lambo is mentioned

well cuz not all porsches are not supercars..

i know that they look like frogs and the mr2 is the more practical car, happy.

civics are more practical too!

why would you want to even go those speeds in a SUV?

not the point.. why you need a high performance car for streets then?

Go ahead, name me one car company that you can do 190+ mph all day every day with you golf bags in the front and you kids in the back. Name me one car you and your wife and young son DRIVE to a track, have one of the best cars out there and drive it home. Tell me one car that still offers a manual transmission and it not being uncommon. You think there is a reason behind the 28,000 wins? Yes there is. Porsche's are made to be everyday supercars that are practical and less expensive then your everday Ferrari that will also cost a arm and a leg to fix anything on.

the S isnt bad.. its very moddable and cant get rediculous hp..

its on the same chassis as the carrera and handle just as good.. boxter is a great car, just the entry level for porsche, so offcourse its not as good as the other ones..

EDIT: I quote to fast for you!!

Everyone that knows Porsche and their history, knows that the "poor man's Porsche" is the 914. Not the Boxster. Later, QD.

I just am not a fan of the convertible. The cayman is pretty much a hard top boxster, and I would drive the hell out of it.

Of the early 70's yes, then the 924 and 944 in the 80's was the "poor mans" Porsche In the 90's+ it was the Boxster. At least the lowest end Porsche today still has the engine in the back
