You can’t tell the difference between this and a 650? Come on now...

Remember which website you’re on. I’m not going to say that Uber hasn’t perhaps done some questionable things - but to say that “someone who excelled in that environment is not someone you want to hire” - that’s literal insanity. So, what - you’d rather hire the gender studies major with 6 months of experience

...no, it doesn’t point to any problem. In fact the 911 shape is rather slippery, that’s why it was chosen. In fact, 225 mph with “only” 700 hp is pretty impressive.

Yes, the car that beats cars with much more power and that cost more around race tracks is “trash” - you people are all the same.

Yeah, good luck replicating what they do for less yourself. Not gonna happen. As is usual, I’m assuming you’re only taking the performance into account. Sure, you can buy some ratty 964 and throw some parts at it and it will go and handle well. That’s not what Singer does, and that should be pretty obvious by now.

Did you read what you just posted? Have you seen the build process? Or are you being intentionally dim? They do a full rebuild, most of the parts are supplied by them apart from basically the unibody and a few other components.

Why do you keep copy+pasting the same utterly moronic and false comment in the comment section.

You....really have no idea what Singer does, do you? Christ. Some of you need to learn how to read and research.

Yeah it’s a shame they didn’t tell us in the article

I bought an ‘08 back in November, it’s needed a few things but I’d gladly pay it again. Nothing is quite like this car.

A friend of mine just had an N20 blow up, does seem like this engine will be one to avoid, at least for the first couple model years.

What? That’s quite untrue. Yes, early on they had high-pressure fuel pump issues. Those were taken care of with updated parts. The rest of that engine is bulletproof. There are N54s out there that have tens of thousands of miles with double, even triple the factory power output on stock internals. Name more than

Christ get over yourself, go back to Jezebel.

...the current cars don’t come with manuals...they’re also out of production pretty much...not everything is a vast corporate conspiracy to fuck you over.

Then don’t buy this car...why does every car have to be for everyone? Jesus.

It makes a lot of sense...the RS cars see a lot more track time. I get that some may want a manual, but it’s totally understandable.

You’re going to get a lot of moronic answers by people who only defend it because they’ve convinced themselves that somehow it’s always better no matter what, and moreso, that their 25 year old economy car with a manual gearbox is a better enthusiast vehicle than any new Porsche or Ferrari.

Why are you here then? I’m certainly not bound by anything, I drive as fast as I feel comfortable and can get away with in my M5, it’s certainly straining at the leash while trying to follow any speed limits. Also, tracks exist...

If you don’t get it you don’t get it. Old F1 cars with V12s and V10s barely cracked 200 pound feet, the V8 cars made less than 200 pound feet. Do you think they were underwhelming? It’s about how fast the torque can be applied, which is basically what horsepower is. Horsepower and revs matter in the end. It

Yes, because the 977 was perceived as “more pure” due to the race-based engine and manual gearbox. Now, with a new car that has a race-based engine and a manual gearbox...plus a million improvements in other areas...there’s no reason at all the 997 GT3 market should carry on as it has for the last 3-4 years.
