Porsche models I love (post yours too)
The current poll about a garage queen prompted me to reflect on my younger days of admiring Porsche cars and then to look a few up and post them here. Feel free to post your own:

Mid-50 Porsche Speedster


The one that snagged me at 16....944 turbo


I remember when this car was announced: 959


The most beautiful Porsche ever made! The current Carrera GT


Your turn!

The 911 Trikey... it's just slightly tail heavy...



In reality... the 997 GT3-RS followed by the Cayman S are my two favorite Porsche's...

This is exactly how I'd get mine...


In junior high, when my love of Porsche's began, my favorite Porsche was the 996 GT2. In technology class when our assignment was to make a website, I made a GT2 fan site. I also used to play Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed all the time and the best car in it was the GT2.

I've always loved the 911. Fell in love with the Cayman first time I saw it. I'm not one of those guys who can immediately identify every year and model car at first glance.

But the one that did it for me was the 917. It all started with the movie LeMans. The look and sound of those cars still gives me chills to this day. I watch the DVD once every couple of months. Check out Youtube as there are several posts of the "first lap" from the film.

Ditto on the 911 and 917.

However, YouTube doesn't really do it justice - gotta have widescreen and surround sound for the full effect of the start of the race!

Of those I've driven the Carrera GT is the only one I would categorize as "loved", but I would "love" to try my hand at the RS Spyder!
