May 2015- I bought in Dec of 2014 as a 15 model.

Yeah so at a good time. have a buddy who made 20k on his when he traded for the Huracan. now it's a bit softer. You are seeing some 2014s at $129k

I was a bit wary of the 14's cause of the elongated stop sale so I waited. I probably would only get a 15 or newer going forward even with the extended factory warranty.

Agreed and that's why I stayed away from the 14s. I'm new to this GT3 market and not sure what the 911/GT3 following crowd will want or care about.

Are these better than their turbo brethren?

Congrats on the GT3--she is beautiful.

Yes the Turbo is the every day blaster with sub 3 second launches, huge modablity, and grip... but its not as involving, and doesnt give one the "feel" that a GT3 does. It goes back to the old saying "there is always something faster" and while Turbo S's get to 140 traps with mods or even higher, they are a bit mundane at times and clinical. I have enjoyed all 5 of my Turbo(S's and regulars) but there is a reason why I sold them and there is a reason why I got new ones. Porsche crack tastes good

I wish I had Vic's disposable income... Dang!

VW is going to start diluting the brand somewhat from what the rumors are stating. would drive the value of these 991s up even more. especially if they turbo the 992 GT3

If you like drivers car you should have gotten a 5 gen Camaro Z/28. Adrenaline non stop.

Z/28 may not be a flashy car, but it’s not that far from GT3 on a racetrack at a fraction of the Porsche cost. As a patrol head one would appreciate any car that is well built. If you just chasing status car, well by all means do so. However, if you have no clue what cars are all about than keep your snot comments reserved.

If a z28 is such a great car to you, why are you driving an m5?

You just showed your ignorance. Perhaps you should educate yourself on a subject. Looks are subjective. Not all parts on a Z/28 are cheap. Z/28 is made for a track and has put up great numbers. Camaro SS is a classic car that quite a few folks would love to have them in their garage. Z/28 has the same potential. Only time will show. I owned just about every BMW model, Porche 911 and Cayenne turbo, Maserati and Audi. Drove Mustangs, Bentley’s and Ferraris. FYI, traded X6m for Z/28, loved it every bit of it.

Reason I drive M5 now? First kid on the way, so I need a family saloon. Plus, I had issues with fitting 70lbs dog in the Camaro.

OP said, it was not his style. Fair enough. You on the other hand, it seems you have no clue about cars.

Ps. i see people buying camaros all the time for a track not 1/4 mile. you sure yours wasn't an Camaro RS

Listen meatitis, you did not hurt my feelings. For one, I’m not American by birth, thus, once again you showed your ignorance by jumping to conclusions. Two, I said Z/28 had potential to be a classic. Three, I would have traded any M car for Z/28. It’s faster on a track and it handles better on curvy roads. Plus, it’s fun to drive manual as well. Now, to your attached link. I know enough about stock cars and their performances, but I have no problem asking others about aftermarket mods.

Allows me to end this argument. Up to date, apart from M4 GTS no other Bimmer is faster than Z/28 around Nürburgring. However, I think there are two GM cars that are faster than GTS. Dare to guess?

Pretty sure there isn't a '66 Camaro SS. 1967 however, is indeed a very nice car.

I don't think that was me, but I will take that insult any day.

I would literally melt in Abu Dhabi. 25-28 degree C is about the extent of my threshold. -10C here right now and that is T-Shirts and BBQ weather.

I have passion for good cars. The difference between you and me is I can appreciate quality cars. I loved my Z/28, but Mustang GT 350r is a better car, so I recognized that. I tried to give you some facts on Camaro, but it seems you are stuck on stupid. You sound like a monocell creation by not able to hold adult argument.
