I honestly can't believe this thread is still going. Ronin for his own amusement has strolled into the PH forum and merrily thrown a hand grenade in our room and then left to watch us squabble like girls lol - and we have taken the bait hook, line, and sinker - that's the amusing bit hehe
Agree with that apart from the 'amusing' bit irked
I bet he's laughing his handle bar moustache off over the pond!

Sidicks, I've not met you, and in person you are possibly completely different to your online persona, but you really do come across as the biggest 991 GT3 fking nosebleed fanboy in the universe.

It's a fking great car I'm sure, most 911's are, but unless I'm wrong Porsche didn't appoint you as the 991 GT3 ambassador did they?
It's a free forum, feel free not to read or post on 991 GT3 related topics....

At least you don't deny that's all you post about, and just because you're a prick don't mean I can't read 991 GT3 threads does it?


Think that through.

It isn't. Have you looked at the threads I've started in the last year or so, and those I've responded to?

Nice, well done.

I love the directness from our US cousins. They must be enjoying this but please, please don't stop it...

It's highly amusing to see how some who can afford £100K + cars react.

Even beats what is on TV (Benidorm - ITV4 at the moment)...and that's saying something smile

I've tuned in every night - great Value for money.

Ok possibly another turbo v GT3 thread then :punch

Though the turbo s is more of a point and squirt nuclear missile than a cruiser, high revving NA and forced induction motors tends to appeal to different people and seems to polarise opinions

As always agree to differ.

Enjoy the NA (and manual) while you can. - It's seems as though I'm all forced induction now smile

Cut it out Sidicks, and even you have to agree you come across as a super 991 GT3 fanboi. You are new to this level of cars and so people can understand your puppy enthusiasm, but do tone it down please.,

And yes I have driven the 991 GT3, and owned many other cars at that level. A competent car, but some do find it play station. beer

Perhaps you should tell the other poster who has resorted to offensive insults to 'cut it out'.

Indeed, and I've driven the 997 GT3...

Some do, and I've never criticised anyone for stating that opinion if they've actually driven the car...

For your own good, you are a regular here. Your choice, I've said all I want to.

I have driven and owned all the cars mentioned, they are all great in their own way. None is better than the other per se, but they are very different. Almost a complete waste of time trying to compare, it's like trying to compare a hammer, pliers and a screwdriver because they are all tools IMO.

Enjoy what you like, buy what you can afford, sell what you don't like, respect others choices.

You can judge a car in one day and a few hundred miles - hacks do it in a few hours if not minutes. I use this to choose cars and chose the porsche over V12V ( much to the annoyance of AM fans) - back to back over two days was enough to rule out the V12V for me.
Would agree with the above. Way too much is made about needing thousands of miles to get to know a car. You have a pretty good idea of whether you will like a car over another within an hour's drive if there are decent roads. More time is then needed to fully understand a car's behaviour especially at grip limit but that requires going on track and I note a good few 991 gt3 owners aren't even planning to track their cars.....

C'mon, you sound like a bleating fanboy, let others have their opinions. Do you realise about half of this quality thread is comprised of your posts (no, I didn't tally them up, but I'm sure you will just so you can get the last word in...)?

The Ultima is an awesome car, I was looking for one to buy before I bought the 991 Turbo S....
how many more posts do we have to read of the ronin explaining why he prefers apples over oranges ... such a pointless thread

Don't need to track them to determine most cars capabilities.......deserted quality A and B driving roads are perfect.....dependent upon where you live, of course. driving
