Porsche


Never could figure out the affiliation of Porsche to audio gear as there is so much reference to that particular automobile here in this forum. Now I know why, cause it's the "Real Deal!"

1. Everyone bickering, meanwhile a GT2 owner is among us. True enthusiasts would be peppering clearthinker with questions about how awesome it would be to have a GT2.
2. As you probably know, a car is not classically a great environment for fidelity, but the modern Porsche Bose systems are better than the stock system in any other car I have. The Burmester is better, for sure, but it depreciates at twice the rate of the rest of the car. If you are an audiophile it's "worth it" but not by much. Just temper your expectations and you will be happy. 
3. The Macan and Cayenne are wonderful cars but physics is cruel and at the end of the day you manage to accelerate a little faster with less roll on the twisties than you would in a RAV4 or 4Runner. All for the price of steeper depreciation and $500 oil changes. IMO a Panamera Turbo is "worth it" but a Cayenne/Macan (even a Turbo or GTS) isn't. 
4. I'd love to daily a GT3 Touring but lol those are at the epicenter of the post-COVID-cool-car boomlet. Look at the trends on Bring A Trailer. 
5. The GT4 is clearly the best bang for the buck (from a driver's perspective) in the last half-decade of Porsches. Ps01529 is onto something.



Just my opinions.  Which are all correct.
My Porsche driving experience goes back to the one I drove while in college, having graduated in ’66. I’ll let you do the math. It was a mildly rusted 356b Speedster that had a blown engine that was replaced with a VW motor.

Driving the rural back roads of Vermont and New Hampshire in something so light and tossable is more memorable than anything I can say I’ve experience in my current 993C2 with all it’s RS goodies. The point is Porsches are not and never have been about horsepower or acceleration but rather the driving experience.

There is no substitute.
