I think you will love the GT3. Is the 997 in your price range? My knowledge of the different porsches is limited due to not really being interested in them.

I just know that the one i drove is pearl white, 997 GT3 with all the extras, Carbon Ceramic brakes, carbon race seats etc etc. Its a serious weapon

Hi there

I was looking at 996 GT3 MK2's and 996 2002-2003 Turbos. The 997's are not in my price range unless you talking of the standard C2 and C4 cars but I'd probably miss the power I've been use to if I went for one of the lesser models as such.

Ahh yea, i havnt driven the 996 version but i cant see it being much different.

As long as you dont get a bright orange or green one

No, your expected not to post pictures and threads on your car because you will recieve the same treatment that you dish out to others

as you keep saying, this is a forum and people do have opinions. Not everyone is going to agree with you.

No, not at all. I have absolutely no issue and never have done with me posting a thread and my car receiving a load of abuse. It's par for the course and as I am often at pains to point out in other threads, to be expected on a public forum. If anything, I enjoy it. Debating the pros and cons of cars is interesting, especially when the cars involved are ones I feel strongly about or have a level of knowledge about.

There is, however, a difference between receiving negative comments about a car you post, and receiving a 10 page thread containing personal insults, accusations against my character, and criticisms based on assumptions about my personal life. THIS is why its less hassle to simply not bother.

I'm not afraid of people slagging my car off - on the contrary, bring it on.

Hi there

It's a shame to see it go soo soon Gibbo.

But if it helps you any -

You know it makes sense

Anyone into DB9's? personally it would be on my list if I had enough cash to be in it's price range.

Random!

On topic, well done on selling it so quickly Gibbo, especially for the price you appear to have got for it. As someone who sells a a fair number of cars i would have thought that car would have been quite hard to get rid of, due to its extremely limited market appeal.

Look forward to seeing what you end up with. FWIW i would be looking exclusively at Germany's finest (and thats not BMW!).

Get a z06 for the love of god!

Vimanis · 5 Jul 2007 at 17:44

Even though i've never seen it, i've gotta say i've been secretly admiring it from afar saying to myself "wow, holy crap that's a beast!". It's not something you could test drive easily around here. Not only does it have road presence and a loud demonic breathing sound when actively sitting there ready to go, but it's got a freaking 666 on it too.

I have to say you gave a really good advertisement on pistonheads, and i was thinking whilst reading that i had definitely seen that car before with all those steeda mods and the emblem of satan on it. It was definitely a description of someone who really loved and looked after the car and really didn't want to sell it. It's the kind of description a buyer would want to see and tbh i wasn't surprised at all that it sold so quick, you could really see/read about the life of the car and what a great life it's had.

Like so many people on this forum are saying, i think you should get a z06, because i know you won't be able to get away from that demonic beathing anytime soon. So yeah, just adding along with the rest of the forum, and as ironic as it sounds, that i will be sad to see it go.

Cya Saleen!

Hello z06!

(new camaro also cool)

loltim · 5 Jul 2007 at 17:59

My ears are still ringing after the last time I saw this on a rolling road

it's certainly a beast, sad to see it go. Look forward to seeing your next purchase

I think someone Gibbo's age would be better off with an awesome sports car, not a grand tourer.

Don't get me wrong, I love Astons, but I wouldn't buy one until I was getting old

Tax Evader · 5 Jul 2007 at 18:37

I'm mighty impressed after my demonstration earlier - and it's certainly rather brutal! Shame we didn't have quieter roads and a little more time

Thanks, Gibbo, much appreciated.

Hi m8

No problem at all and the CSL is mighty impressive, was amazed by how it handles in the wet. In the Mustang because of the twin-screw blower it makes getting traction rather hard with all those dollops of torque coming in so low. If I still have it when it dries out I will give you a proper demonstration.

Again, CSL is amazing, such a vastly different animal in comparison to the regular M3.

If I was to buy a BMW now I'd go for either a CSL or a Z4M Coupe, CSL has it on handling and outright speed definetely. Might try to get a go in a CSL before I make a purchasing decision.

Tax Evader · 5 Jul 2007 at 18:45

You're welcome to try it again, just drop me an email at my registration address.

JediFragger · 5 Jul 2007 at 19:37

Your Saleen is an awesome motor m8 but you have a hell of a decision to make now! Soooooo much fun :cool:

Yellow/Black Z06 or an X51 would be top of my list (at least to test

)

The DB9 is still around £75k for the cheapest second hand available. It's not a slow car by any means but compared to the Mustang/Corvette it's slow. If you want a GT then the DB9 is superb if you have the money and looks wise it's the nuts. If you want a focussed sports car then Porsche/BMW/Mustang/Corvette are the way forward.

If it was me I'd jump at a DB9 as it's my type of car - fun, comfortable and great for crusing in. Gibbo likes totally focussed cars and if comfort suffers slightly as a result then so be it.

Hi there

Yep Adam is right and I too agree with him regarding the Aston's looks, it really is a sexual machine. I'd imagine a car like the Aston would not just get the attention of women and lots of dome sucking action but they'd probably be queuing up to please you. Muhahahaha!

Yes I do like focussed cars, but in saying that I could not live with a car that was designed for the track such as an Elise, Westfield, Noble etc. They are too hardcore for the road. Absolute most hardcore for me would be an M3 CSL or Porsche GT3 but they both are the best handling cars without doubt on my short list and most driver orientated cars. The CSL definetely comes across to me as a car which is easier to drive faster on UK roads as its safer/easier to control at the limit, wheras a GT3 is quite edgy and takes a lot of controlling but no doubt gives an even more rewarding driving experience. Then I'd say the Z06 sits well in the middle, brilliant handling but good safety systems and with 2007 rear shocks its safe on the limit. Then obviously cars such as an RS4 and EVO FQ360 will just make me an absolute hooligan because they make you a driving god and let you get away with so much, but at the same time they reward the least in the driving experience. Look forward to test driving said vehicles though to see how they really compare instead of how I think they compare or what I've read online and in magazines.
