What’s the NARP of your current car’s brand?
>>28794667All of 'em
macan, cayenne, panamera I suppose. that's about it
Boxster Cayenne Macan
It’s funny bc Toyota fags exclude the Zupra which is better than every single Toyota ever made
Literally every car except for the colorado, silverado, and corvette arent real chevies
>>28794712Blazer is dogshit right
>>28794667It’s a mini
>>28794667>NARPI'm not familiar with this term.
WHAT IN THE HELL IS A NARP IS THAT SOME SORT OF SEXUALY TRANSMITED DISEES?-JIM
>>28796543NotARealPorshuh
Anything VAG
The Mk5 Supra is a definitive NART>built in Austria>fast and handles well>has a good infotainment system>has an automatic that shifts quickly and does what you want it to do>looks interesting>doesn't feel like an applianceIt's the antithesis of Toyota's philosophy
>>28796572I just hate the nose. I can't get past the nose. It just looks so stupid.
>>28796573>hates the one part designed by toyota
>>28796550MY 986 BOXSTER IS 99% PORSCHE 911 BUT ITS ACTUALLY BETTER BECAUSE OF THE PURE DRIVING EXOERIENXE
>>28796954you will NEVER be a 996
>>28796572These things are auto only on McDonald's. Literally a CarMax special.
>>28794712Say I was buying a new Silverado, what engine should I get? The turbomax seems okay aside from being a bit gutless and not really any more efficient than the V8s. GM somehow can't seem to make a pushrod V8 that doesn't eat it's lifters despite that being the one thing they're known for. The duramax seems fine until you have to change the timing chain or the oil pump belt which are at the back of the engine for some godforsaken reason.
>>28796954>>28797070Absolutely would not trade my shitbox 98 986 for a 996 vertEven for 996 coupe only the RR novelty and value difference is tempting, I think I would still prefer 986
>>28794680>nu-bmwBMW only started to admit the BIG GRIRR was because they wanted to expand into the Chinese market. Now that they can't sell in China because everyone is poor there, they've admitted this is a Chinese preference.Every time I see a newer BMW, I know that the CCP must fall or else everything will turn into the Great Wall of China to satisfy the 1.4 billion at the cost of everyone else that actually matters.
>>28796954but boxster is mid engined
>>28797300Whenever I pull up to a faggy new BMW suv in my M5 (only the suvs because those types of drivers buy BMWs for different reasons from sedan/coupe buyers), and if it's a younger guy, I'll yell that their car is "FUCKING UGLY!"They're always too fucking scared to even LOOK over kek fuckin pussy ahh suvfaggots never want no fuckin SMOKE from the DOPETHRONE
>>28794667What does that even mean considering NARP posters are the biggest retards?A mid engine roadster is literally as Porsche as you can get
>>28794667What's that?Not Another Retarded (op) Poster?
>>28797281Porsche refuses to make a perfect car>911: bad weight distribution >718: McDonald’s / low power >Panamera: extremely heavy >Cayenne: bad weight distribution / crossover >macan: low power bad weight distribution You can have balance in the pan or Cayman. You csn have power in the 911 or Panamera. You can have low weight in the 911 Cayman.It’s by design really. The Panamera and Caymen are better than the 911 but Porsche won’t allow it to actually happen The 904 GTS had double done mid engine and 8 cylinders and fiber glass.
>>28794667
>>28797433yupp, same for the very first one
>>28797454Embrace the NARPitude and get rid of the M96 problem entirely, a VW 1.8 20VT, Audi 2.7TT or 4.2 V8 bolt right up to the stock transaxle, can be made to work with minimal electronic hackery and don't even require fucking with the firewall like an LS does.
>>28794721Do they still make the Active Tourer?The X series were already pushing it but when that thing came around it was basically the herald of changing times.
>>28794682>>28794699>>28797454cope. cayenne GTS and turbo GT is the perfect car to lug the senpai around in.
>>28798021I didn’t day it was a bad car
>>28797281Agree. I do like the look of the 911 coupe roof from inside, but that wouldn't be the deciding factor. Early Boxter with the factory hardtop would be my choice.
>>28797559the audi swap seems coolest to me, saw a company making youtube videos about their audi swap kit a while back but i dont know if it works for early .1s. imo unless the m96 just absolutely grenades it’s probably more worthwhile to rebuild it and maybe bore it out a little if you have the cash and boomer boner for it
>>28798329Early 986.1s should be the least complicated electronically, so in theory they should be the easiest to swap.Physically it should apply all the way up to at least the 987.1, after that I'm not sure they use the VAG bellhousing bolt pattern anymore and there's not much of a reason to ditch the 9A1 anyway.
>>28796564That a Felicia?
It's always so funny hearing or reading the opinions of people who have never lived with a 911. It's such a great exercise on how futile it can be to try to understand a car through its quantitative qualities.
>>28798417it had something to do with cable throttle vs e-gas i believe. at least on the 996 i have no idea about boxsters
>>28798435Ah ye ye, probably should've specified because amerrigans never seen a shitbox as good as this.Pulled the engine of it for this heap.Despite the VAG rot starting to take over, it was a very good shitbox, I'd dare even claim that a 1.3 Felicia is the best shitbox ever made.It'll outlive toyotas of the era, it's cheaper due to no japtax, it's very easy to work on, there's basically nothing to fault in the thing except it's the quintessential runabout shitbox.
>>28798465Oh yeah, 2.7TT only comes with a DBW throttle body. The really old 4.2s have cable throttles with a separate idle valve, I think.Either way the Renn27 guys make a conversion module that takes the standard Porsche cable and turns it into a signal the 2.7TT ECU can work with, so I guess that problem's solved now.
>>28798329I think the flat 6 guy is a rich fat fleecer but I saw a British fellow in Ohio do the resleeve and rebuild out of his shop for a better deal. Personally I’d just cough up the money and rebuild if I had a 996 of any badge. If you buy a 996 just commit to owning it so $20k isn’t crazy. You only need to own it for like 7 years and $20k is the same as depreciation on a run of the mill 3 year old Lexus. It’s a lot of money at once but it’s not a lot of money in terms of running a car for 10 years. Lease fags do that every few years. The 996 isn’t depreciating and will prob gain value anyway after the rebuild so it’s not a stupid way to go provided $20k isn’t going to nuke your financial situation. It’s just that $25k for the 996 and $25k for a rebuild is a 997.2 and you have to wonder why you wouldn’t get the 997.2 which is obviously a better car in everyway. And that’s what people do who have the kind of money and that’s why 997.2s didn’t depreciate and 996 did .
>>28798985There's certainly more out there than Jake Raby but I disagree with the foregone conclusion of every 996 needing a full rebuild. I think they're great cars, maybe the greatest intro 911 of all time.
>>28800485>I disagree with the foregone conclusion of every 996 needing a full rebuildThey will, maybe not now, maybe not even within the next 10 years, but eventually they will. Unless they've already had it.
>>28797552And the best one
>>28800607so…every car in the world kek
>>28802518Every car in the world completely destroys its original engine in 30 years max?
>>28797252>GM somehow can't seem to make a pushrod V8 that doesn't eat it's liftersaffects like 3% of enginesreplace the lifters after warranty or something 73k miles and going strong in my camaro
>>28797433They are just really stupid.
>>28800886For me, it's the 9ff GT9-R.
