I may be in the minority here, but I could care less about Porsche cars. As a young man I recall seeing one, and my thought was that it looked exactly like a VW Beetle that someone had stepped on and kinda flattened it out. To this day, it still does to me.

I for one am more concerned about the appearance of the car, and for me it has never even been close. Corvette has always won hands down.

I like performance, but I for one never utilize it on other that entrance ramps to interstates. I am not and have never been a racer.

I seriously doubt that I am in a small minority here. I've owned at least 10 corvettes dating back to the C2's.

I had to get that off my chest!!!! I feel better now!

Well it's not like Porsches outperform Corvettes, anyways, so...

Although I respect their design philosophy and the fact some are stupid quick and nimble, but I can say without a doubt, it would be waaaaaaaaaay down on my list of owning, somewhere around GTR dwellings.

I'm with you. To me Porsche styling = BORING. Also reminds me of VW's. Vettes have always had better, if not cutting edge style. I don't care how good a car performs, if it's not attractive it won't be in my garage.

If you are tired of hearing about Porches, why start a thread about them?

I like Porsche, they make awesome cars, but I'm not going to talk about them if I don't own one.

You just did.

Getting rid of my C6 and buying a Porsche was the best thing I ever did.

According to GMs market research you are in a group that is getting smaller each year so I would say that’s a minority. GM shareholders would like to sell Corvettes to a more diverse /larger crowd and have targeted the 911 since it's an icon. GM is trying to get away from the typical Corvette traits and bring it up to the next level. Many potential buyers are looking at a Corvette for the first time and are coming from European cars. GM is ecstatic about this. Why some Corvette lifers don't understand this concept is hard to understand.

Hey, did you order a C7?

If you're looking to pick up chicks, I think you'll do better in a Porsche. At least in a 911.
I like how Porsche supports racing. Far more than GM does.

But, if you want to compare performance of actual cars that are affordable, a 1999 C5 stomped a new Porsche Cayman at the SCCA Solo Nationals, which must drive the Porsche fans crazy.

I will bet that it is

Porsches are money pits When that POS breaks and you have to take it back to the dealer hold on your going to get. I have taking in a couple of them this summer on trades on C6's and the guy trading says it can't take the service bills anymore.

Which car would you want to own when the factory warranty runs out? Corvette or Porsche?

People are going to say I don't know how to drive a Porsche . Back in 1982 I owned a 911 SC and that thing took me into the weeds *** backwards just missing a tree. The early one's are a handful and no Vette ever did that to me. EVER !!!!

they should go play on the Porsche forum.

ChucksZ06

Yeah, that is why you are still on the corvette forum. The truth is Porsche guys have huge inferiority complexes and cannot understand why no one else but them knows how great a car a Porsche is. The ugliest vette made looks better than any Porsche.

Do you know the difference between a Porsche owner and a porcupine ?

The ***** is inside.

My old manager owned a couple Porsche's ... I could never like that car if I tried.
