I have a different dilemma. As a grey haired seventy old ***** I really can't afford to keep my Turbo which I have had going on ten years. Thoughts of selling and putting some cash into the bank ( we need food ) keep crossing my mind. A GTI Golf or such like but opening my garage in the morning to a ***** Golf would crush my appetite to live

Are those wheels not HRE's?? :?:
 
Wow, that took some reading....

If I can hark waaaay back to the OP and some of the valuable comments I think it's just a change that's required. I personally would never lust after a 911, any 911...although my Scottish brothers yellow one is bloody lovely. I make the Scottish connection so he offers it to me first when he does decide squeezing the zimmer frame in is too difficult.

All 911's are awesome, and Turbo or GT variants are the pinnacle, but they cannot generate the same fizz factor as Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren....maybe Astons too. Some will clearly disagree but deep down most MUST agree.

As others have said, out right performance has little to do with it as none of us drive our 911's near what they can do. It's about what makes you open the garage door just to take a peak...maybe even just sit in it during the winter. A good exhaust note is obviously desirable to round off that special feeling but equally some degree of exclusivity is also helpful. 911's are so great it's difficult not to see a handful every time you leave the garage.

For me, the aforementioned obvious brands and even the R8 edge out most 911 variants.

What a wonderful decision you have in front of you, good luck.
