Can someone find a Turbo Porsche that sounds good?

[Vettezuki]

I actually really like Turbo Porsches. I often think of selling the Vette, just focusing on biz for a while, and coming back to something like a Turbo Porsche in in a couple years as a genuine street car, rain or shine, with plenty of performance for the road. One blcok for the Turbo Porsche though is that it just doesn't sound that good to me. Coming from the NA Vette, which sounds great, it's kinda weak sauce. I guess a big part of it is the opposed layout and exhaust routing. Turbo straigh sixes (Supra) can sound very cool, if different than a V8 to be sure. Anyway, maybe someone has heard one or stumbled across a clip that might change my mind.

That's naturally aspirated and (GT3) kinda pricey. Fantastic car though.

Quality Turbo Porsches can be had in the $50k~ range. I don't think you could get a GT3 wreck for $50k.

Courtney and I were looking at a Turbo Cayenne we almost bought it, but I would have had to Co sign. It was a sweet ride for a suv. I think I scared the salesmen but I had to make sure it would make me happy to drive. It did not disappoint.

I thought about buying an Audi RS6 instead of my STS-V. The reason I did not was the cost of parts on the car. For example the front brakes have eight pads on each side. The pads last about 20 - 30k miles and cost over $500 per set, the rotors are over $600 each. Some really fine cars can be bought, but the maintenance can be sky high.

I miss that about my Neon, $20 lifetime warranty brake pads.

Was it the GT2 that was turbo? I remember my fav car on Grand Turismo was an AWD turbo porsche. Thought it was a GT2. I figured the GT3 would also be turbo.

The GT2 is the uber Turbo Porsche. The GT3 is the uber NA Porsche. I'm just talkin' bout a poor man's Turbo Porsche. :lmfao:

That would require us to be organized as an actual business . . . with actual revenue. :sm_up_there:

Than by that same token, guns should be a right off for us as well?

If you have a business that earns income and files taxes (:sm_up_there:) then technically yes, though there would be lots of restrictions. Technically, doing things like a "company car" etc., is kind of tedious. They'll also be cracking down on this sort of thing hard core in the future. If you're small time, better just to stay off the radar with your hobbies . . .
