Porsche is still a budget sports car when you look at the entire spectrum of sports cars.

for the sports car genre. it really holds it own on the track and for considerably less too. and their is an aftermarket for Porsche that is not as pricey as say...novitec for Ferrari

Yeah, I know what you mean. But in Zach's context, if money wasn't an option. If we are looking at bang for the buck then I'd opt for a corvette z06 over the porsche. Money is on par in terms of mod with the Porsche but bigger power gains.

eh, i duno. I will not disagree when you say the corvette is nice. I still think the porsche is worth every penny and more. It just so much more refined.

I would take a Porsche over a Chevrolet any day. Honestly, I love the 996 Turbo and GT2. Either of those would make me a very happy man.

any porsche, as long it's not the boxter. I'd still like the 928 and 968 porsches. Not that quick and not traditional porsche style, but still dig'em

If that was the case, I wouldn't even look at a Porsche.
If I had that type of money to just throw around. I would look at cars with a prancing horse logo or raging bull.
Lambo ftw I tell you.

Only thing i hate about Lambo's and Ferrari's is that you have to rebuild the motor every 15-20K miles, and thats not cheap.

I saw a really bad ass porsche build once, it was an older model (maybe a whale tail)... but the rear end was super wide. the tires were huge. I wish that I could find it
