I wish I was like YK, in that I know what car I want to keep forever. Takes the resale worries out of the equation.
Meh, his left knee was giving him a bit of pain a while back and he was talking about selling his forever car
St8 swap 4 CSL bruh?
My knee is finally better now, only took about 6 months
Duncs, it’s funny cos the flip side is I don’t get to sample other great cars like you, Matty etc do.
I've got a bit of a wait for the next installment, but the daydreaming has long since began!

I thought Kin had got his RMSs and IMSs mixed up but he hadn't. I was wrong and deleted my post within about 30 seconds of posting it. Good work spotting it!
Agreeing with you 99% of the time, that can’t be a good thing!

Do you all not get bored after 2+ years? I'd sell the Evora tomorrow if I could be bothered. I still love it, but there's so many cars I'd like to own. Variety is the spice, I can always buy another.

Those are very impressive figures! We've all been brainwashed into viewing the 3.4 as the ginger stepson of the range but 4.6 to 60 and 10s to the ton ain't nothing to sneer at

People don’t realise how light the early cars are. There’s very little difference in performance between the 3.4 and 3.6 996s below 100mph. In fact, even the 997 3.8S is only a couple of tenths quicker to 60.

Yeah, that surprised me too - I guess it’s that 911 ability to put the power down!

Must be. 355 posted the same 0-60 with more bhp per ton (224 v 267).
It also surprised me how much better it looks than the 993 on the side by side shot!

I / we went nuts over Kin's GT3 recording the ton in 9s. Just a second slower for the boggo model!

Probably closer to a 4 dead on modern sticky tyres.

Add me to the surprised pile. I always assumed the performance would be a little dissapointing, or at least no quicker than my m3 and having a bigger engine making less power.
However a couple of hundred kg less weight, better traction and a more slippery shape make more difference than I would have expected.

I can’t imagine ever selling the GT3. Would love to ‘add more to the fleet’, money no object of course.

Mainly cos the 993 is on those horrific (faux?) split rims that they put on all the Targas as std - for some weird reason.

If nothing else, that car could be your pension!

Lotus Carlton performance innit
Or Minker323 level of go
Guess people forget it’s GT86 light almost with twice the poke
