If I liked Porsche, and had the money, this is probably the car I would buy.

Side note, Porsche built a 500 hp 4.0 liter flat six. Come on GM. Where's our LTx making 500-530 hp?

that's a pretty car, never been a big Porsche fan though.

For $140,000 over your camaro LTX anyone can build you a 500 hp v6 from chevrolet. I am sure if more people wanted to buy $186k six cylinder vehicles chevrolet would make them. Although I will take a LT1 v8 making 460hp and weighs the same as their 6 cylinder anyday. Headers cam and intake and now your making 530hp and torque down low.

I live in California. None of that crap flies here. It's factory power or nothing.

Why I still live in Florida. Every thing goes. Guns and cars. Unfortunately the point was it will be a while before 500hp Na comes out of a v6 from chevrolet they do not need to do that. In europe you get taxed on engine size and this is why they have far more 4 and 6 cylinders making high rpm power.

I'm not asking for a 500 hp V6. I meant an LTx V8 making around 500 hp.

It's a cool car and nice that they made a 'GT-3 RS' in a manual.

But I would have the Corvette Grand Sport over this. Partly because the Corvette is actually available to the public and mostly because I think the Corvette looks badass compared to this. I still like the Porsche but holy crap I wouldn't pay that price even if I could, whatever it did cost.

It's kind of annoying how they didn't even announce it to the public yet all of the 911R models they are going to build are already spoken for. I understand that for a brands Halo car but not a special model.

I will take both.

If I had Porsche money, it would be for a Singer Porsche. Classic looks with modern refinements.

I usually love me some late model Porsche... that one is kind of "blah" to me visually.

I always liked the 911 Porsche, but this article summed up my feelings for this version of the 911.

Obviously you still live in a shell and have no idea what Porsche is.

These cars are built to run the same lap time lap after lap after lap. No overheating, no bs. Learn a little bit about cars.

Come back when you even ride in a late model GT3, GT3 RS, 911 Turbo S etc.

I agree. Here is an owner saying what you are conveying:
