I'm just messing around and really don't give it shit if you and the enterprise come here to berate the F8xs. If your not a fan then move on to rennlist with other like minded enthusiasts. Why continue to come here? I always thought the end game for me was a 911. Guess what it's not. After driving numerous models over the years I came to the conclusion that they are great cars but overrated and not worth the premium that Porsche charges. That and I'm in my early 40s |

I can definitely afford one and chose not to have it. I’d much rather drive the F80, and not just daily but on track as well. It’s just too slow, expensive to run and fix.

Makes sense to me, I would take those over an M3 also. Hopefully he isn't a 13 yr old kid trolling us |

I put 12k miles on a 997.2 cab I picked up for the wife in May 2017 and sold in March. The car was an excellent daily driver and more comfortable than my F80 ZCP. I made almost $1,500 on it when I sold it even after putting 22k miles on it. 997.2s are incredibly reliable. Too slow? Feels as quick to me. Doesn’t the 997.2 S run sub 4.0 0-60 and around 12.3/.4 1/4? What does the F80 run and can you really feel a seat of the pants difference in .1 or .2 seconds?

Yep, that is what I was saying. I said the M3 is great if you need 4 doors and big back seat. |

Stands to reason, they are the demographic that can afford them. Younger guys who have the salary have children and are dealing with all that comes with that, paying down mortgages, taking vacations, building up a life. When you round the corner at 60 all those expenses are gone and you have the money to throw at a 911, but by then you diddle along in the slow lane with it. lol The irony. Corvette owners also. |

NorCal seems like a bubble in that there are a lot of younger people with $$ to throw around.
as for the older guys in fancy cars, I think I again have a skewed perception since I've met many with former competition experience who are doing DEs and club racing as a hobby now Z06 or RS driven by someone who has a lot of years of seat time is great to watch, so I don't get the "old geezer" stereo type at all |
