These are all statements that have been made in the past on this forum.... hehe

997 GT3 needs bucket seats otherwise its rubbish
Speccing a car without air-con makes you a ‘real driver’
Speccing PCCB brakes is pointless on a road car
Speccing deviated stitching/bluetooth/PCM means you are not interested in how the car drives and only like the trinkets
Leaving the geo ’stock’ is best as YOU dont know better than Porsche
Using the paddles on a PDK gearbox is just as involving as using a normal manual gearbox

Any more? biggrin

P.S I recently said - The replacement of the 6 cylinder NA engine is a step-back from an enjoyment and emotional perspective (anyone who argues otherwise is being disingenuous)

This should also be added to the list thumbup

each car needs parts refreshing once they get to a certain age even if specialists say otherwise

each car needs a minimum of 1K per year refresh

gearings to long for alot of the models though they all have the same sort of ratios to previous models

Walter Rohrl is a disingenuous, corporate marketing drone. He's not a multiple World Rally Championship winner, a genius competition driver, nor a hugely talented development driver or an all round nice bloke.

The Boxster Spyder is the best car in the known universe. The end.

My personal opinion is FACT. If you disagree you are wrong, an uninformed dullard and unworthy of any further discussion.

I cn summarize many comments to mean that the latest car is never as good as the previous generation. Happens at most new model launches.

When has he ever been my mate? I don't know him, have never met him, don't think I have ever conversed with him directly...

But "whatever" as you apparently know everything.

Luke, the irony and lack of self awareness is mightily strong in this one....

ANY Porsche GT car less than 5 years old with more than 3 previous owners must be cr*p/hopeless/useless (why else would it have had so any owners in such a short time ????)
N.B Obviously this isn't the case if it's a Boxster Spyder/Cayman R or GT4 .... multiple owners in these instances just happen to be the result of speculators turning a quick profit !

All GT3's will now need a £20k overhaul before they can be considered in any way shape or form driveable. Though additional funds will be required to address the car's intrinsic shortcomings : Hopeless gear ratios, understeer on a par with a supermarket trolley (and you may as well not bother driving it unless you bolt £5k of passive dampers onto it).

Repeatedly having the same predictable arguments and voicing the same petty, perceived point scoring opinions with the same posters on virtually every GT car based topic.

Continually accusing the same posters of being wind up merchants, whilst the irony of getting yourself wound up by them and reacting in the same way each time, passes you by.

Responding in the following fashion:

1) Nope
2) Yeah
3) My Dear Old Thing
4) FACT
5) YOLO
6) HTH
7) Unobtanium


Then there's the paragraph splitting, line by line when quoting.
The dull, tedious subject of autonomous driving.
The 996RS is beautiful.
The option, stitching quandary (as mentioned).
The shadenfreud's wet dream 'bubble burst' thread.
Silverstone Auctions are an accurate barometer of market values.
