Is the 911 the most boring sports car around?

GT3 RS is one car that will never leave my wishlist (cause I wont ever afford one!) the other is a Ferrari Scuderia F430.
I had a 380HP import Impreza which was savage (tuned admittedly) and I drive a RWD now and they feel great. I am sure a 911 wouldn't feel boring and its looks are timeless.
I am although of the opinion that newer models of pretty much all cars are getting more and more boring looks wise, and too bloated with fancy technology.... though in 20 years the petrol engine will be a thing of the past
soon we will be whizzing around in milk floats that drive themselves, can't complain too much.

Im with you Cunt. 911 is bottom of my list of super/hyper cars. I'll take a Nissan GTR over a 911 anyday

Is it a good idea to buy a car that expensive, only for dingoes and aboriginals to steal it?

I would rather get something like an M5 Competition for a quarter of the price

Nissan GTR are old and stock get smoked by the Turbo and even GT3.
A new M5 comp is 100k. That is 2/3 the cost of a Turbo / GT3.

It ain't about the speed. If it was, I would take that $500,000 for the 911 and wank-up, well, loads of shit. Caterham, Cross-bow, Ariel Atom, Crossfire, Evo...

A Porsche GT3 / Turbo are around £140k new...

Could I wank up a car with a budget of £140k to make it faster/better than a GT3? Now that's a top gear challenge!
Answer is yes

"Man this Ferrari sucks when it isn't going fast, I barely fit in it and it has no power steering. I still like it more than a car that is almost perfect!"

I’m 6’2 and literally can’t sit up in a Ferrari with a helmet on and have to slouch without one.

I mean that's the 90's. People were smaller and stronger.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
The Porsche’s are immediately recognizable without looking like they are trying too hard to distinguish themselves. A lambo nowadays can be confused with a Ferrari or another exotic car from afar. I don’t own or plan on buying a Porsche, but I’d consider one before other exotic cars at the same price range.

A Nissan GTR is £90k new and a tuned up shit box isn't the same as a car already built from factory to be fast. Then you get people that tune super cars............

You do not confuse a Ferrari and a Lambo. And a Lambo is pretty distinguished.

I heard that a souped up 911 is pretty sweet to drive.
Also I can lie and say I drove one and its sweet.
But I can also tell the truth and tell you I'm hung like a gorilla.

The fact that the price of a car in the 1st world could buy me 6 decent apartments in Brazil and I could make a decent living collecting rent is the kind of thought that keeps me up at night. No hard feelings or jealousy of your rich asses, but wtf man, we're fucking worlds apart.
It's a beautiful car, tho.

Maybe it shows how much I know about cars, but when I used to have a commute, the only exotics I immediately recognized were the Porches, for the rest I had to get a bit closer.

Unless I get to a point in my life where o have regular access to a racetrack I don't think I'd ever buy a sports car. They're just not practical for real world use (compact SUVs are where it's at). But if I did have that access, I think I'd get either a 911 or a GTR (or similar). The ultra-flamboyant cars never really appealed to me, they make you look like a clown and they aren't any faster/better handling.
That Mercedes is tight though

Mechanically Porsche are marvels. The fact they have stubbornly kept the engine in the rear and yet still have been able to get it to perform on par with other mid-engine supercars is a damn miracle.
Visually though yeah they are pretty damn boring. Very little has changed over the years in terms of design. In my opinion when you see a sports car and more importantly a supercar it's supposed to be a bit bonkers. It's supposed to have the wow factor. Like a Lambo or a Ferrari. You see it and you to yourself "Holy shit what is THAT????" you know what I mean?
But you don't do that with a Porsche. You see one and you say "Oh hey it's a Porsche.".

Don't really buy that nothing has changed visually. The difference between say, the 992 generation Turbo S and the 993 generation is about on par with the visual difference between current mid engine V8 Ferrari (488) and the mid engined V8 of the late 90s (F355).

I was looking to purchase a 2019 GT3RS, but at around 200k US it's still too pricey for me. Also, the GT3 comes in manual and I want a manual car next, plus it's 40-50k cheaper.

All you need to drive a sports car is a couple hundred bucks, valid driver’s license and a few hours of spare time. And it’s totally worth it

Wife sees a Lambo: "why does that car look like a neon cockroach?"
Wife sees a Ferrari: "why does that car look like a neon cockroach?"
Wife sees a McLaren: "why does that car look like a neon cockroach?"
Sure, I guess it's a sort of "wow" factor?

No Porsche 911 even comes close to £500k new. You are fucking crazy.

I would most definitely pick up the AMG GT over the Porsche.
I've just been looking at reviews of the new turbo S, and sure its super fast and all, but god damn the same old 911 shape is boring as fuck. There's is no sense of excitement with these things. And 6 cylinders? gross. This fucker here costs $500,000 Aussie dollars. For the same or less than the price of that you could get one of these chad-mobiles:
