What makes the 911 so special >one of the best resale values

>>17138427

>universally accepted design

dude the car you posted is a vw beetle with an ac unit stuck on the back, i'm sure it's a great drivers car but it's uggers

the meme about them all looking the same is kind of true

It's nothing special. 99% of the owners of these things would eat shit if they tried to get even remotely close to the limit. I'm not even going to mention how retarded it is sticking a shitty plane engine in the rear of a car.

Okay?? So people are willing to pay stupid amounts for something old and slower than a Corvette? Neat.

its not about speed or lap times; its about how it feels to drive everyday, thats what the car is for

Bugs really don't look like 911s.

fucking why

The next meme, I'm calling it

>>17139031

Then why spend the extra $100k on a "track tuned God"? Other cars are just as fast where it matters.. Pulling from the lights and on the highway.

>>17139241
oh please fuck off.

>>17138427
You forgot reliable when serviced properly.
Drive this car without going WOT everywhere and it will get 100,000 miles easily with good maintenance. For a sports car that's breddy gud

>>17139273
>Pulling from the lights and on the highway.
I don't think people buy 911s to go fast, I've only ever driven a slightly above base Cayman, but if it feels at least as good to drive I'd probably buy one. If you want do complain about stupid cars to dd, look to the Corvette. Mediocre interior, and more subjectively, worse feel and throttle response. The Corvette is a great actual track car for the price, it falls short everywhere else though. The Corvette was also base model, I assume they fixed the throttle and wet noodle handling in the actual track model.

This is really why bench racing is fucking stupid, you're not going to be pushing the car to it's theoretical limit anyway, by far the MOST limiting factor in performance will be you, the driver. Unless you want to be a stoplight hero, in which case, TCS, launch control, and modern automatic transmissions exist, so go nuts.

It has a RR layot, wich makes accelerate faster than a GTR-R35 nismo.
It cancels uneven tire load with hughe rear tires.
It is desinged to run at full power as long as it has gas left.
It has a almost timeless design.
It doesn´t follow trends, it just gets better with every generation.
It is and has always been THE german sports car.

Boxster/Caymans have a fundamentally better chassis, but the hobble the engine lineup to keep the 911 on top.

Exactly, there's a guy from California that has 1,000,000+ miles on a blue 356 so any Porsche should be able to make it 200,000+ with having a thorough maintenance schedule. The 356 was stolen a few years back but it was recovered.

Benchracers will never be able to understand this concept.

base models are into badge whore territory nowadays unfortunately

AMG GT is better than equivalently priced 911 in every way

It's has very simple design, yet aesthetically appealing to most people.
Fast as fuck.
Reliable.
Fun to drive.
Unique experience (flat-six, RR).
Easily modable.
Won many motorsport event for many years.

In another words, it's literally perfect.

>flat engines

subaru and the quest for more delicious head gaskets would like a word with you

realistically though, porsche do flat engines better than any other manufacturer, but the only real advantage the layout has is packaging

rear engined cars are an unbelievable pain in the ass to work on, though

>>17144281
>Implying that the head gasket failure was anything but the fault of the head gasket material itself
This wasn't a boxer issue.

>>17144281
boxer headgaskets are the same as inline or V engine headgaskets...

with enough money thrown at it, anything can make it to 1,000,000 miles

that's a cool porsche though

>>17143894

i agree, just wish the AMG GT came with a manual. or any amg for that matter.

911s are just good examples of the raw expression of automobiling.

Practical enough to drive everyday and refined with decent speed.

Can't wait to get one myself. I have a VW Beetle from 2013 right now.

Same concept but more practical and slower.

>>17143237
Those are LMP1 wins, Porsche are pretty much steady there on the second place in GTE

"good examples of the raw expression of automobiling"

Have you driven a current gen vw with the 2.0T engine?

>>17144375
No because I don't drive FF economy cars with torsion suspension

>>17144109
The RR layout and boxer engine (and nevermind the goofy look) makes the 911 much less than literally perfect, and that's the charm.

because it offers the experience no other car does due to the engine being in the rear
fuckretarded design if i may add

inb4 anybody claims it has excellent performance - yeah, if you throw enough money anything can be fast, even a shitty civic

honestly, pick a cayman if you want a porsche

>>17144373
Since last year Porsche are getting from worse to worse performance wise. They almost lost to Toyota in LMP1 and they will surely lose this year, while at GTE they finished second behind Ford GT and I call they will lose to Aston Martin this weekend. And let's not forget Blancpain, Lamborghini is dominating the competition.

Porsche doesn't even do the best looking porsche anymore

I've owned all sorts of Porsches aside from 911s. 968, 928, 944 and even a 718 (the open wheeler, not the new one).

The 911 doesn't do it for me. I'm not a massive Porsche fan, but I loved the 928 and even the 944 had its moments. Every time I've drove a 911, or spoken to someone who has one, it's been completely lackluster. At first I thought it was bad examples, or me not being good enough to get the most out of it, but regardless of the model or age or situation I have driven one I've felt the same.

The only road going Porsche that I haven't owned that does anything for me is the 959. Every 911 ever made could cease to exist and I wouldn't care in the slightest, but I'd give a lot for a 959.

>>17144436
Oh wow VW strapped a turbo to an economy car
Not like the Japanese didn't do that already in the 90s
Or that it changes the fact that your engine and transaxle are in the wrong place entirely

>>17144474
Again have you even been in or seen the car you are criticizing. The Interior is beautiful, the engine is peppy, people compliment it regularly.

It cost more than an econobox.

What about this is so difficult for you to understand?

Oh you fucking got me I don't drive a 15 year old BMW that needs something fixed every 2 seconds.

Piss of mate
