Bad news for Bugatti owners

If you were an owner of one of these hugely proprietary cars, and major auto manufacturers were done divesting their stakes, what would the future of parts, tech, and software support look like? Considering how excruciating everything from tire swaps to s

I just missed a deer on track!

I was driving my old 911 at Summit Point in WV, and a deer ran in front of me while I was going about 100mph. I braked and swerved behind him, and he turned around! I hit the gas to settle the car and swerved the other way and missed him by millimeters. I

An old 3.2 Carrera is a lot on the street.

I have 2 911s. This one is what I refer to as a street car that’s fun on track. By that I mean it’s got street tires and 3 point belts. On a curvy mountain road 2nd 3rd and 4th gears are fun to row through. It makes fun noises and moves around enough to n

I would only buy a GT3 variant.

If I were forced to return to the Porsche Welt, I would return to a GT3 vehicle, which have improved tremendously and have recently become a double-wishbone suspension car. A more gentlemanly GT3 variant is the "GT3 Touring" variant which eliminates the b

Using the example of me…

…I’ve driven (owned) fast cars. I’ve done a few two day track schools in fast cars (with all the other learnings off the track). So maybe a “novice sports car driver”. I’m curious as to what that middle ground is, and what the more curated choice might be

"My question is more what is the 911 that won’t be too much for the novice, that’s not going to be a widowmaker like the old 930 Turbo."

It all depends on what "novice" means here. Are you a novice driver or are you a novice sports car driver. Assuming driven as intended, IMO any 911 can be a widowmaker to a novice driver. As to a novice sports car driver, perhaps a Carrera 4 is a better c

It’s a thoughtful and valid question, especially as prices of my 911 have through the roof.

I use my 997.2 GT3 as a daily driver, I’ve never tracked it nor do I want to. I have friends who ask me why I don’t race that car, I tell them I don’t need another hobby that I Suck at..but I digress. I like the following: 911 GTS, 4S and T come to mind a

I suppose they are…

The local dentist where we used to live also desperately wanted a 911. He drove a Cayenne as a daily and was incredibly eager for a 911 on top. Then he made some test drives and was horrified and didn’t like the experience at all. He finally still bought
