Ekona Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Sports Plus is amazing when you’re really in the mood, on the right road. The engineered-in extra jolt when the ‘box changes is subtle but brilliant. Quote

GranTurismoEra Posted April 19, 2023 Author Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) High spec Cayman S in Malaysia. The car would have cost around £110,000 over there. Lucky are we living in the UK. Edited April 19, 2023 by GranTurismoEra Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted November 19, 2023 Author Posted November 19, 2023 Wow. Corvette is no joke. Both impressive cars. Something about the Jaguar 1 Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted January 2, 2024 Author Posted January 2, 2024 I do like the Jag and have been researching them. Content on YouTube is lacking. My mate picked up an AWD Type R few weeks ago came with SVR wing and Cobra custom exhaust. A bit quieter and smoother. I have to say it doesn't hang about. You need over a mile of road to even bother putting a foot down. Sound system from factory (Meridian) is pants and needs work and only the V6 comes with a manual. 550hp plenty for the road. 20 inch carbon wheels. Nice car. Car was £35k. The dealers are barely dropping the prices on many cars so will wait it out. Quote

I like the F type but I'm thinking keep saving and decide later. Power isn't everything which is true. I dunno if I'll make March lool. 1 Quote

All buttons well optioned very shouty. Acceleration is underrated.... Was £78k at the time the car was 2 years old. They're 40 to 65 now. Servicing cost him £1000 a pop. Skoda wrote it off... Nice cars but not on the cheap side. I suppose there's more urgency now to try diff cars with incoming restrictions lol. Quote

A good 993 turbo comes with a hefty price tag unfortunately, probably the reason why I have never owned a Porsche. Money don't go very far when you start looking at Porsche Quote

Owned? No. Driven extensively? Yes. You all know how much I adore 911s, but that was a silly comparison. Might as well say you’d rather have a McLaren F1 at that point, if we’re playing the prefer game 😂 Quote

GranTurismoEra Posted January 4, 2024 Author Posted January 4, 2024 993 turbo or carrera. I just looked and looks like the classic porsche from the 90s. Not many turbos for sale and it was a Gemballa I'd be happy with Carrera NA or newer Carrera with the 3.0 As far as I know unless it's the early 2000s turbo s which are 60k plus the rest are 90 to 120k and new gens were 160k but now the latest are over 200k. Lol Cayman and Z are similar bar the weight. So it might be a sideways step for most on here. Handling wise superior 1300 to 1400kg..911 can offer the power but not the same balance and handling. Suppose can't go wrong. 911 is 911.... Porsche host track days at their leisure. Just need to pay and spend a couple of hours there. Quote
