I’m a longtime Porsche guy myself. I currently have a 2005 Cayenne S and my brother and I share a 964 C2 as well. I was 27 when I bought my old 2003 Boxster S for $21.5k with 38k miles in 2009.

It was the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. I put ~55k miles on it and it was my only car until 2012. I had 3 sets of wheels for it: winter, summer, and track. I sold it in 2017 for $14k with 92k miles after buying my SS 1LE. Best decision I’ve ever made.

My dad had a GT4, then drove my car on track and at the tail of the dragon... he sold his GT4 and now has a ZL1 1LE.

Porsche was the ONLY game for years in producing cars that could leave the factory, go to the track and require ZERO mods, and do so over and over again with only routine maintenance. GM clearly learned from the best, and is now producing some of the best drivers cars in the world. I voted with my $$.

Also, at Indy a Motor Speedway last weekend... I had the opportunity to drive a 991 GT3 RS for a session, and I rode in a 991.2 GT2 RS for a session... I passed both of those same cars in the instructor group on track in my SS 1LE.
