So the test driving begins - TT RS!
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
If I could afford I'd love to own a gen 997 GT3 in black with bright orange wheels, think they look amazing and they are practically as quick with as the turbo but with an N/A engine.
Interesting, would you still rate the handling of the Boxster better than the 911? How close is the Boxster to the Cayman?
I dont rate the cayman or boxsters handling above a 997 but then i never get near the edge, and i suggest nor do most sane people.
My contention is this, you drive a car 95% of the time slow-ish, and what you lose in that miniscule bit of performance and steering feel by having a C4S is well compensated on rubbish weather days of which we have many and varied.
But **** all that, the bit the 2 seater drivers always ignore is this, sometimes you got an extra mate, sometimes you got 12 bags of Tesco finest on board, so sod that 0.000004 % of the time when a Cayman handles better, il take my chances and burn him off on the straights. With all my shopping!
Sorry iv had a few missed that, the difference between a boxster and a cayman, i dont know not a lot but then im the wrong person to ask, cos several smashed to **** cars ago i realised driving wasnt my strong point
Im not doing very well at getting my point over, what needs to be remembered is we aint comparing a 1.8lx mondeo with a st220 here, these are all ****ing epic cars EPIC, the so called lead belly will still kill 99% of cars stone bonker dead, it is no loss having 4WD on a 911.

Out of interest how much would a RHD conversion of a Z06 be?
No chance of a test drive in a GTR then? I know there expensive to run, but you gotta pay for fun man, don't be a cheapskate. Surely specialists would be a fair bit cheaper than the nissan stealers, as there the ones that the price quotes are from.

I driven about a 100 miles in one before, so know how they drive and spent about 500+ miles in the passenger seat in one.
Haha well the beetle option is a favourite, the test drive will basically confirm things.
Wide, LHD, low driving position, basically unsuitable for twisty narrow backroads. It might sound stupid but I like my route to work, buying such a car means going through built up areas, which is a boring drive. Buying a car with good sitting position, RHD and not such a wide heffa means going down twisty backroads fun.
The Mustang was not as bad as Vette, it was LHD but you sat high up, it was very easy to judge and see everything.
Let see how a 911 leaves me feeling before the Z06 is ruled out.

You also missed the main selling point, you can also squeeze two birds in the back

great back-end, too wide and low for uk country lane twisties though

See agreement at last
Now its funny i hate the look of those GT3's, i hate the halfords spoiler, the stupid stickers, the odd colour wing mirrors, they should bring out the boring version of those cars

And with you owning a porsche, the "fit" part will come naturally of course
