tazzieman Posted 10August, 2016 Report Share Posted 10August, 2016 thats weird - that guy just 'instagramed' me (nothing to do with mammograms tassie). As I own 3 fully grown sons I have no problem understanding any computer issue or term . Hasn't "instagramed" got 2 ems?Have you had your manogram yet ? You'd be at that age? michel and turboT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's "just" a Carrera S under all that fancy Porsche Exclusive Works bodywork and hand stitching, after all. And for about the same price as a 991 GT3RS.

hugh Posted 10August, 2016 Report Share Posted 10August, 2016 I don't get the 'sport classic' although it doesn't annoy me as much as the new 991 'R'. But hey, Porsche need to give people with too much money excuses to continue to buy more expensive cars and it seems to be working perfectly. Well played Porsche, well played!

But hey, Porsche need to give people with too much money excuses to continue to buy more expensive cars and it seems to be working perfectly. Well played Porsche, well played! At least Preuninger designed the 991 R to be a lightweight, road-biased car, in keeping with the philosophy of the '67 911R; in my opinion, the Sport Classic is just a 2.7 RS/RSR backdate re-imagining by Porsche's Exclusive Works department, based on the 997.2 C2S. It therefore annoys me much more than the 991 R! My $0.02. Edited 10August, 2016 by MezgerMan Brow and hugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, Porsche need to give people with too much money excuses to continue to buy more expensive cars and it seems to be working perfectly. Well played Porsche, well played! Funny, but the 991 R is the first car Porsche has made for a while that i am actually interested in. Call me old fashioned, i don't want a flappy paddle box, however much it might be like a race car. I also really like the lack of a stupidly load rear wing. Add to that the fact it is lighter than the RS, has specially developed suspension, upgraded from the GT3, in order to make up for the lack of rear downforce, a cool interior and the RS engine, rather than the standard GT3 lump it's a very attractive package. Theybhave also removed a lot of the sound proofing and it is meant to sound fantastic when driving. It can also be ordered without aircon and radio, a true lightweight unlike the overweight and over sized GT3 and GT3 RS.The 991 R isn't a marketing ploy but instead, it is the first time for a long time that Porsche have actually listened to what some of their customers wanted. It is a real drivers car, for the true enthusiast. Most of the reviews have been totally raving about it. I would put a lot of money on the fact that this car will be the true "must have' of all the GT3 and GT3 RS. It's Porsche getting back to basics and what's not to love about that. scashin, MezgerMan and DJM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 10August, 2016 Report Share Posted 10August, 2016 The Sport Classic IS just a marketing ploy by Porsche aimed at the well healed as mentioned, the SAME as the 911R, and probably every other over priced, exclusive, limited edition car they have, or will produce. Whether one likes either of these cars is up to them. I like the LOOK of the thing, and really don't give a toss what it's based on, and would buy it if I was filthy rich P-Kay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ugly toss. 991R is overpriced and a mater class in price gouging, but I like it. It's a very fast and capable car. Makes me wonder what my GT3 might look like sans wing. Sort of like the 993S. Wide body but no ugly Turbo spoiler. Each to their own but good luck if you buy that Sport Classic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
