Where do I put my golf clubs? That’s one reason I got the Cayman S. The new C8/Eray/Z06 check all the boxes at the $125k and under price. More bang for the buck. I’m do for an upgrade and the 911 and GT4 Cayman are in a fight with the C8. I’m leaning toward the Z06. Can’t lose choosing between those three.

I'm a Corvette man and always will be. But I gotta admit that this car is Very Cool.

C8 all day , you can disregard majority of options and for money you get all the actual important things that make the car and be In 70s . Not gonna happen with 911. If you don't care about money and future cost of ownership you can go porsche . Won't be as exciting as C8 but will do what it does well and out perform its specs and HP ratings , but you will overpay , particulary if you option it . If I'm gonna spend base porsche or S money with options instead I'm getting a base Z06 non Z07 . Base NA 6.2 I TRUST more then a newish 3.0 porsche engine needing boost to get the power, more strain on small displacement and complication. The NA vette engine is tried and true . If you can actually order a base porsche and avoid the options and just be happy to have a competent sports car that's not loud or particulary exciting its gonna be good . Base 911s at times were really underwhelming in past like a base 996 with tiptronic that felt like a toyota that resembled a 911 , truly unexciting car for the money . 3.0 liter seems weak for a car this expensive but the turbo getting close to 400 hp and 0-60 in 4 sec isn't brutal fast but that's by today's standards , and in reality is quick and wont overwhelm you so you can thrash it a bit mkre without getting in over your head as easily . Just not much of An event to drive . If you don't like standing out and just want an expensive good handling car that's quick but not special in its acceleration and money isn't a worry porsche for sure. Some people for reasons I grasp don't want to stand out and be flashy , want to be understated . But strictly based on Value and ability to get more bang for buck C8 wins hands down. If you option the C8 to high heaven that's a mistake IMO and misses the point . The Z06 non Z07 starts with more standard equipment and has one of the best engines today and the E-ray is similar and priced great and if you don't option crazy you have a sick car for price that's super useable and super fast plus AWD .

He had the blue wheels & interior. I forget the name of the shade of blue. It was an automatic & it was a 400 engine. Don’t remember the pound feet. It took 6 months or longer to order. Due to the Smokey & The Bandit Movie in 77 Pontiac couldn’t make the TransAm Fast enough. Anyway the Carrera 4 looked larger than the Carrera itself. Is that possible? Does the 4 stand for 4 wheel or All wheel drive? I love the Porsche Carrera. I could never afford not to mention the car insurance.

You've done a great job presenting this.

The stock exhaust sounds fine to me. Raiti, little known, on non "sports exhaust" Carreras (base and S) you can spec sport tail pipes. These are round quads that take the place of these dual rectangular outlets--twin per side. This does not give you the "sports exhaust" and oddly you cannot get these on models so equipped - will still presumably sound the same as this stock dual set up -- but to me is the best LOOKING set up of them all, and really picks up the look of the regular base 911 (or non sports exhaust S for that matter). Regarding the shifter, it still confounds me that Porsche went this route. Not only not very substantial, it got rid of the +/- at the console which many find more engaging (and less distracting). Not everybody either likes the paddles or wants to use them every time you want to manually shift,.... depending on the mood or situation. The nice thing about the 991.2 and earlier was you could have it both ways, again depending... and they took that choice away.

Yeah the times are not favorable, the war in Ukraine is affecting the manufacturing. I think they do wire harnesses in Ukraine. I paid msrp for my 2024 gts but I have a history with Porsche. If you are a new client then the dealer will want a premium. Corvette was doing g it too not too long ago. Only difference is that the demand for a corvette is so inferior that they are already sitting on the lots at a discount. 911s are coming in on a per customer order bases and when they order gets canceled someone else is ready to pick it up. Definitely not good times to buy one if you don’t have a relationship with a dealer
