Ask anyone whose owned a BIMMER or a porsche...what repair and maintaince bills are like.
its a brutal existance that trancends the purchase price..(which is already too high)
JMO but owning a car that performs like a bat out of hell and yet is affordable to purchase and maintain are key ingredients...to a great ownership experience..

My family owns/have owned both, and i can say the bills are a bitch.
however, because of those bills, its kind of a 'pay to play' type of situation. Porsche probably has the best engineering in the world, people that talk shit about them have either never driven their cars, or dont know anything about cars.
For the value, GM builds the best cars in the world. My father has a 911 4S and will soon add a Z06 to the garage, but they are two different classes of cars.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
