Any Porsche gurus here?

I remember when I could have bought an '81 911SC for $13k. Dummy me.

If it makes you feel any better, I bought a '79 for $13.5k and poured another $13.5k in it before selling it for $13.5k.

Know how to make a small fortune dabbling in Porsches? Start with a large fortune.

Sure, but somebody hot on a Porsche isn't looking at a Sport/rally sedan as an alternative.

Probably not. I am a car enthusiast freak, so I considered quite a few rides before settling on my STI.

The STI and Evo are both solid "do it all" cars. I'm a gearhead and appreciate them, but they've become a little to "me too" in the last 10 years or so.

You don't have to sell me. There are hundreds of videos of STIs and Evos outrunning other cars. It's an impressive factory hot rod - but still an economy sedan with 20k in factory tuning. A modern Porsche is another level of car, and 20k in tuning would transform it further.

Not trying to sell anyone. I just like watching the video.

My favorite is the Old Top Gear film with the Evo (9 I think) lapping with the Lamborghini.

Sticking with the original post, here's a Porsche GT3 running (my favorite) a Sharkwerks tune and exhaust:
