From 911 to 911..... the story of being mentally retarded

having a few 911's and some other toys,... i decided the best choice of cars in 2012 would be the new 991....

did a natural progression from 911 platform to the GTR platform (because we are all curious)

But then missed having Doors

But then realized why I sold it originally (Interior) and got something built much faster than AA3 and GT-R... but with that feel that i never got from any of the other cars.

so looking back, i will say... 911 is probably the best car platform made... dont believe all the hype surrounding other vehicles!

What are your thoughts about the 991 vs. the 997? I realize that one is a turbo and the other is a NA. I know that there are a lot of threads about this. Still would like to know your thoughts on some of their differences. Thanks.

had a 997 before the 991 too.

991 chassis is amazing, almost too great.. needs TTt or GT3 power to make it come alive, otherwise it's too good of a chassis for the power/susp.

997 is better to have fun with, has more character. 991 is better for trips.

Thanks for the reply. I originally had 997.1 TT manual. I traded that in for a Panamera 4S. Did not have it for long and went back to a 997.2 TT. I had the option to buy a new 991 4S but opted to buy a lightly used 997.2. TT which was priced similarly. I also felt that the 997 had an overall better driving experience and was more fun to drive. Both look great and the 991 sounds even better, but in the end I also went with the 997. It seems most of the threads I have read in other forums about 991 vs. 997, drivers have favored the 991 and for good reason. I guess to each his own. Thanks for the reply.

The Atom must have been a blast, although the most recent 997TT is probably a monster!

Had a go in the passenger seat of an Ariel Atom two years ago, around a local track. However it was supercharged and had an output of around 400-450hp (tuned, ofc). I swear to god, the smile from that ride remains on my face as of this day! Sickest car I've ever been in!
