I look at car upgrades this way. If they never improved it, no one would buy a new one. If it stayed with the same power output, chassis, and essentially same body for let's say 10 years everyone who wanted one would have one, and they would not sell enough to justify building them at all... Sound familiar?
Plus for those of us not wealthy enough to upgrade to the new Porsche every few years this means that in a few years when the 991 GT3 comes out it will put the current model to shame lowering the price allowing us mere mortals to consider buying one. I am just hoping that the new generations of Viper, Z06, and GT3 are good enough to make the older models such an embarrassing car to drive that no one but me will want them, thus putting them much closer to current C5 Z06 prices...

How many of you lap the 'Ring on a regular basis? There's a lot more to auto ownership satisfaction than lap times, and the $$$ it would cost to upgrade prob. aren't worth it in most cases. Almost any Porsche in good condition will provide a very fulfilling driving experience.
the s2k wasnt the fastest car when i owned it, nor was it the fastest car when i bought it. but it looked good to me, and it drove well to me.
all this does is bring out peoples insecurities.

Porsche lets you specify whether you want the designation removed or changed. You can have Carrera, have only "911" no matter what model, delete all of it, etc. etc. It's totally up to you. And if I recall correctly, they don't even charge you extra to not have something.

DO WANT.
Someday, I am owning a 911. End of discussion.

If the rumors of a part-metal, part-canvas cab roof that maintains the coupe roofline better than past cabs are true, I'm hoping the cab is available by next spring. Anyone know the latest on the cab version?
