fifth gear

[PaulR]

Do we agree with last nights fifth gear that a mid 80s 911 is the best one that has ever been built .

[pesty]

No the 964 was obviously the best

[shed17]

Not best one ever built, but weighing up reliability servicing, price to buy and running costs as well.

So that knocks out the 964

[clubsport]

Probably the cheapest and most reliable car they could give away as a prize...
The 1989 911 3.2 is a better car and in terms of ownership and running costs makes a far better proposition to a 964 all IMHO of course

993

I never normally agree with anything they say, ever. It's a really crappy program and I hardly ever watch it. What was it last week, Fiat Multipla? Fk off!

[GreigM]

Did they mean the best 911 ever? It was a very good car (as all 911s), but the best ever? No. How about the 964 RS, GT3, GT3RS etc etc....there are a wealth of excellent cars out there to choose from.

For me: Mk1 996 GT3 Clubsport.

OMG !!


anyone gonna take a bet on how many posts on this one ????


I reckon 38 !!

Oh and best 911 is obviously a MKII GT3

I saw that film again the other night. On the back of the car it said turbo RS. Is this different from the S?

Agreed 993...

[rico]

It was Fifth Gear's greatest 911 ever as its a competition prize winner... do you think the producers would prefer to give away a £15k car or a £120k car?

They did the same with their 'Best of British' award where the winner was a £15k MINI instead of a £40k+ TVR/RangeRover etc

I'm with you, for looks as a cabrio (without being biased in any way of course ), but then I know that's not to everyone's taste, so I'm willing to go to 993TT for those who prefer tin-tops.

[abarber]

3.2 with G50, not in white and without the supersports spoiler would have been a better choice.

My vote is with the 993 though.

[kent993]

I was interested to see the comment in this month's Porsche Post saying that the Targa is the most practical all-rounder. I second that, on a 993, of course!

[warmfuzzies]

964, is there any other?


k1p.

[Butzi]

993 forever, esp MY 993!

got to agree there.

But only if they are yellow with tarty yellow wheels.

993tt - pure 959 genetics in a beautiful shape. And of course the 993 is the late-porsche purists choice blaah blaah watercooled heathens blaah blaah...
