A True Driver's Car

2005 Porsche 911 GT3 Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

My Dad purchased a 996 GT3 a couple months ago and all I can say is WOW! We had the privelege of driving the car on the track and it is unbelievable. The car sticks like glue and the carbon ceramic brakes are extremely powerful. He just had a new exhaust installed and the engine sounds even better than it did before. If you're looking for a car that can be used as a daily driver and also take to the track on the weekends, this is your car.

Outstanding

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2dr Convertible (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

This is absolutely the finest and most enjoyable automobile I have ever experienced. I have not been in the Ferrari or Lamborghini, but there is no dealership in my area. A 30 year track record of building fine sports cars is abundantly apparent in the design and manufacture of this wonderful automobile.

Carrera S

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

My first 911 ever and after 76,000 in a very modified C5 Corvette. This Carrera S is smooth refinement... the motor and drivetrain are a thing of precision beauty, shifts are light and crisp with snick, snick, snick sounds. Driving fun is at a new high with the Carrera S, a greater sense of driving. Porsche's three level steel safety cage, steel door beams, side impact airbags, 18 gauge steel body panels and race proven brakes removed safety concerns I always had before. Porsche's coil over damper suspension with multilink rear for strength add a chassis equal to the 4 cam motor, both of which are cutting edge. And the dealership difference is huge, too.

Definately Worth the Money

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carerra S is an excellent car. It corners beautifully. The Sports Chronos Plus Package really helps its acceleration and control, but suspension wise... the car is very stiff, not good for those who want luxury. If you want luxury get an SL500. Porsches are made for great performance, especially the handling.

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera is a solid improvement over my 996 (which I believe was a leap ahead of the 993). It hae better looks with the new 1.7 inch wider body, 1 inch wider tracks, an interior that finally fits an $80,000 car, and more features that work well with a sports car. This is the best Porsche value in 6 years in a near supercar package.
