Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

I was pricing out a GTS last night and "mine" came to just over $150k but it was RWD and without PDK. Such a gorgeous car.

Correction: The PDK is a seven speed, not six as indicated in the article.

Really like this car for the track as I only foresee either frustration as a street car or outright loss of my drivers license.  :P

Peter, this was the single best Porsche article I've read.  Ever.

More specifically, that intro - what a great (and enjoyable to read) explanation of the nuances that are "Porsche".  :cheers:

Fantastically written article on an amazing vehicle. I would love a GTS, in 2wd form with a good old manual and clutch, I know, I know, PDK is faster and more efficient....don't care, not trying to beat Boris Said around Laguna Seca.

"At the risk of sounding blasphemous, it’s all too easy to be a bit “What’s the big deal?” when first jumping in a Porsche 911. Just ask my wife."

OMG - When I bought my first 911 my missus said the EXACT same thing.  When I bought the turbo she said "this cost HOW MUCH?  You got ripped off."

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?
