If ur not gonna drive it fast... i reckon u get a "classic"... old skool 964 or original 911...!!! That is pure class and style!!!

I would avoid buying a carrera and whacking on a gt2/3 bodykit and making it look fast when in fact its not the real deal...

classic are the ones needing some skill, maybe i need to go on a course.
996 facelift + carbon stuff might be the target, but i have plenty of time to choose,
i saw there is a 959 for 700k, now that is some machine!!!

Mark - all Porsche 911 are fast, just that the turbo and gt3 are ballistic, i am more into the style and engineering
than speed, 0-100 around 5secs is already more than enough for me!!!!!
i would pass out in ET's up Smithfield rd!!!

believe porsche also organizes track/experience day, good opportunity to try it out, its pretty hard to get to know a cars handling in a short test drive.

many consider cayman the best handling car but made in finland only and the interior trim is not in the same league as the 911.

yeah classic is the way to go and you might make some money out of it in the end.
If I get a P car, the only 1 would be 928s which is very hard to find now
