Hello, in recent times it has been reported that the new competitors of Porsche now Audi, BMW and Mercedes should not be like before, Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maserati. In the SUV area understandable with audio bmw and mercedes. But in the sports car area? they want to compare the carrera with the 6 BMW the SL and the TT?? The carrera is a myth of the SL maybe but the others too? I find there is no other brand with which one can compare Porsche. Ferrari expensive much power, Lambo expensive a lot of power, Maserati too. Mercedes rather family car image, BMW also and Audi too. Porsche is and remains a sports car company not a ABOUT SPORTWAGEN COMPANY like Ferrari Lamborghini. Porsche is just Porsche = unique. But now to the Porsche drivers what do you say?!

Hello I would like to get a boxster. What do I have to pay special attention to? Have also looked at the Occ.. The 2.5 he are all BJ 97 or 98, what would you suggest me to go rather to a 2.5 he or 2.7 he. And to which BJ back, you can buy 97er Boxster or are these too old? Buy me the Boxster as a second car for cozy weekend rides in the convertible. Thanks for the helpful tips… Drive a Volvo S60 special edition with 300 HP and everything Drum and Dran… really horny moose…

Hello together, since it might soon work out to change the forum, I would be happy if I could hear your opinion about the optical form of the 996 4S. I had been offered a 4s ,Bj 2002,26000 km for 56000 Euro. Since some do not agree with the 996, I am thinking about whether this model is actually timeless. Or should you wait and then get a 997 or even now already a Cayman. Certainly I have my own opinion on this topic, but would like to get a meaty professionals sometimes hear how they see it.

Hello first of all, with my wife the leasing for her Jaguar XK8 convertible is about to run out, so a new car has to come here, although the new XK has become really very nice, never again a Jag, the quality and the service are simply too bad! In the choice are now 6er Cabrio and 997ger Cabrio. Since we want to have every 36months a different car, it is always only possible for us to lease, since I no longer have any German GmbH, I can no longer park the car and ac I had to calculate both cars (997 C2 Cabrio Tip,Raffl,PCM etc. and 650i Cab.) at the PZ HB and at the BMW NL HB. Both had a gross price of 105.-tk But now the 911er should cost almost 1800.- gross the 6er “only” 1200.- gross in the month! How does this huge difference come about, when the residual value of the 911er is much higher? Both were counted equally, 36months 10000KM p.A. no special payment. I would be for the 911er but I would be for the 911er with such a price difference in the month!!?? Or was it just the PZ HB??? Gruss Ale

Hello Porsche fans, I would like to buy a 996 switched on in the next time. The vehicle would be just a toy for me. What means: Everything you don’t need to drive out. What has to be done? Two shell seats, gear reduction, Flappennauspuff HR chassis, 19 inch, Turbo front etc. …… And now to my question. In my PZ they advised me not to buy the first 996. Only the one with the 320 hp and 3.6 l displacement is the right one. The 300 Ps-ige is a flaw from the engine. It’s clear, I don’t want to go to work with the 996 or enjoy the landscape. How many km can he have on the clock? Or, how much is it going to be critical if you want to heat with it? Do you have suggestions and ideas? I almost forgot. All-wheel drive or rear drive?????? Thank you Michael

Hello guys, my parents bought a Boxter S last week, built in 2005. I caught it on the weekend and tested it a bit with a friend. The driving behaviour etc. is of course top, but I’m a bit surprised about the performance. He has a Skoda Octavia 1.8 T (180 hp). We have several times to the limit at about 260 after Tacho and I’m a bit disappointed. For that, that de Boxster has almost 100 hp more, was vie So we were up until 220. Then I could put a little bit to it, but after half a minute I was maybe 300 m away. Can’t it be? I mean it’s a Skoda… Greetings Richfield

As already stated, I have added a SL 55 AMG and since the busy reading of the car press with focus on SL (instead of the previous one on Porsche). Now I have noticed for the first time in the Sport-Auto 7/2006 that the SL 55 completes normal Porsche in the lap times on the Nuerburgring at the “Sport Auto Supertests”. Here is an excerpt: NuerburgringSL 55: 8,06 993: 8,28 993 Turbo: 8,12 996: 8,17 996 C4: 8,23 987 S: 8,23 The normal 997 was unfortunately (yet?) not g The 997 S is the same with the SL 55, or minimally faster: 997 S: 8,05 Compared to Ferrari, I was also faded. Hardly any Ferrari can do it faster than the SL 55. Here’s another excerpt: F360: 8.09 F550: 8.07 F575M: 8.05 F355: 8.18 faster with Ferrari, however, were F360CS: 7.56 (with racing tyres) F430F1: 7.55 And here’s another few test candidates who were also faster: 996 Turbo: 7.56 996 GT3: 7.54 997 GT3: 7.48 (with racing tyres) Interesting I also found that all tested lotus didn’t reach the SL 55 in the most remote way: Esprit Sport 350: 8,13 Exige: 8,42 or 8,32 (2x tested) Why do I write this in here? Well… because the SL is being talked so badly here (loader, comfort liner etc.) I thought to myself that it might be time to break a lance for the car. With 8,06 minutes on the Nuerburgring it is now once in the front midfield. Sure… he will get the bulk out on the straights, who While most of the other opponents are whipping in the bends… But as bad as it is partly spoken, the car is not (even in the bends). And from the sound it is also a bit more exciting than the series exhaust systems of Porsche.

Hello together, as future (hopefully October!) Porschebsitzer (997) I would have two questions: Does the Bose sound system really make sense or is the standard installed enough already? The rear window wiper is also something, somehow it spoils the optics … How are your experiences, does a 911’er really need a rear window wiper or can you do without it well? Thank you in advance for your opinions / tips!

Sunday afternoon, right after the F1 race on RTL … Prince of Anhalt gets handed over the Carrera GT and has a lot of fun with it. Smiles into the camera as if he had just been crowned king. He rents the HHR (?) right away so that he can play a little with friends (also Olaf from the USA …. with Rolex and designer jacket). After a few (?) laps (around his own axle) the Carrera GT engine dissolves into smoke. Prinz’s comment (by mobile phone, probably directly to the PAG): “Nu is the Sche eatsding dead. You have to come and make it whole again.” Laugh and can’t believe how a car for 500K Euros can give up the spirit after a few dozen kilometers on the clock. Hmmm …… After that there’s Shampus and Gambas. Magnificent decadent, not … Salut Alfan
