So for $19K, you get 30 more horsepower (and more weight, which negates the extra power). In essence all you're getting with the 911 is a little more room, and the priviledge of not getting called "gay" by people who think that small cars are gay for some reason.
No, it's a 911. It's sexy, and well, maybe you just don't get it. Drive one back to back and you'll understand. I don't know how else to put it. That and I'm posting from my phone and I'm not going to type that much from this screen.

Over 3 weeks and Tracy hasn't come back to post anything. This thread disappoints!

Only people that truly use their cars (and bikes) for their intended designed purpose understand. Others are clueless.

Actually everyone that buys them, does get to benefit from their intended design purpose. Every factory built consumer car and bike is designed for one specific purpose, to sell... That's it. That's the simple philosphy behind every car developed.

99% of the population can't use any vehicle ever made to it's potential operating characteristics.

The list is narrowed down to a few. LOL.

I was wonderin' when someone would notice I hadn't replied to this thread yet.

I will say that one of you are very close to what I'm leaning towards.

After seeing the same basic design for decades, I don't really think 911's are special anymore. That, and the magazines say that the 911 has no handling advantage over the Cayman, and in fact one of them said that the Cayman drives like the 911 should. Yes, I know magazines are just magazines, but until one of you actually describes what the 911's advantage is, I'm in the dark here.
