Top five Porsches ever...?

[Finn997]

This will no doubt have been done before but...

Couple of beers (too many..) with some Ferrari fans last night led to some friendly banter about Porsche. I duly defended the marque against an onslaught of Fezza loving nonsense. After a couple more beers the challenge was laid: "Go on then, name us the best five Porsches ever..". Right then...

An hour (and even more beers..) later my list was:

1. Carrera GT – Simply the best.
2. 996 GT2 - The ultimate driver's car for the road. I wish I had the balls to buy one.
3. 997 Carrera S - Erm... my current car so had to be in top 3..!
4. 964 Carrera RS - The car I had on my wall as a kid. One day I will own one.
5. 550 RS Spyder – The most beautiful Porsche ever.

(Blatant edit - I would change the 997C2S for the 959 but have to justify buying the 997...)

No mods/tuning specials and must be available in the UK now (so no 997GT3/RS).

Thoughts?

My bog standard 996 C2.

Just come back from hooning around in France with a high spec GT3 and another C2.

My car conveyed me the 1800 plus miles in complete comfort, did not put a foot wrong and whilst in the alps was, without any shaddow of doubt, the best handling car I could ever want to be in.

Yes the GT3 was quicker, but for an all round supercar that you can climb out of without the need of an orthopeadic surgeon the C2 is simply sublime

[testarossa]

Best;

Carrera GT
959
993 Turbo4
356 Speedster

Worst;


924
944 (non s2)
