  can you still buy a new porche 911?

  Favorite Answer:

  The original type 911 has long been out of production.

  If manufactured today it would be illegal to sell: too noisy, too polluting, and totally failing to meet all modern safety standards. 

  But Porsche have continued to sell a succession of different models called the 911 which are only inspired by the original: mostly in retaining a rear-mounted engine, although for a very long time now it has been water-cooled as Porsche had to stop making air-cooled engines to comply with modern standards.

  There are a number of good independent Porsche specialists who will take any of the original 911 models and fully restore them to a condition which can be better than they were when new. Porsche didn’t build the originals all that well; rustproofing was almost non-existent and the electrics were not very reliable. Air-conditioning was a rare and expensive option, and modern owners getting a full restoration often ask for that to be added as well as power steering. Mechanical distributors typically get replaced with electronic ones triggered by magnets instead of the original distributor camshafts and contact breakers. The original carburettors may get replaced by electronic fuel injection and any non-turbo 911 is often upgraded to include a modern turbocharger with far less lag than the one fitted to the original 911 Turbo.

  In addition those suppliers often upgrade the brakes, suspension and steering to reduce the old tendency of the back-end to suddenly lose grip and fishtail dangerously when cornering. Modern suspension developments mean that problem almost doesn’t exist with the current 911 models.

  A few customers just want their classic 911 restored as far as possible to exactly how they left the factory: so-called “concours standard”.

  Panamera Break in period?

  Favorite Answer:

  I would listen to the owners manual as that is most likely the most accurate information you can receive regarding your exact vehicle. Dealerships don't always know everything. A professor of mine went to a Subaru dealership and wanted to know the type of oil they used for their vehicles so he could determine what brands were acceptable to use. The answer he received was "Subaru oil."

  Can a Porsche 911 Carrera or Turbo be a family car?

  Favorite Answer:

  Sure they can.  They just can't be a really good family car.

  You're right, technically they can seat 4 people.  And as long as 3 of those people are both a) midgets and b) extremely friendly with each other, they might just be seated comfortably.  Anyone else is going to need a dozen sessions with a chiropractor after sitting in those cars.

  Is a Porsche just a Volkswagen? ?

  Ok. So I’ve been looking at suv. I always wanted a Porsche but definitely can’t afford the “real deal” (911). I have been looking at the Porsche Cayenne and Macan. I also stopped by an Audi dealership to look at the q7 and q5 and even q3. My friend told me that both of these companies are owned by Volkswagen. So my question is, should I just save money and get a Volkswagen then... my friend seems to think so... especially since I’m not getting a “real Porsche” (I’m just looking at suvs). Thanks for the advice :)

  1980’s Porsche value? ?

  I’ve looked everywhere, I can’t find any info. My friends dad has a red 1984 Porsche 911 with 140k miles on it. I don’t know anything about cars. We’re curious to see how much it’s worth, it’s an awesome car. He doesn’t drive it much anymore bc he’s so busy. He wants to sell it soon, so we’re trying to help him out. It’s a manual transmission, super fast car. When my friend told me the mileage I was surprised because of the performance the car shows, but then again it’s a car from the 80’s so I guess 140k isn’t bad, (like I said I know nothing about cars LOL) 

  Anybody know anything about 1980’s Porsche’s?

  Which is the better car - Porsche 987 Cayman or Boxster?

  Favorite Answer:

  I prefer the Cayman because it has a real roof, meaning it's quieter, stiffer, less to maintain, and it rains most of the time in Seattle where I live.

  Porsche, superbike, or supercar?

  For Sunday morning drives I feel like I need to be experiencing so much more, yet I don t know which route to take.

  I think Porsche people are the greatest, and to be apart of that community would be a privilege, but with the depreciation of 458 s and the fairly reasonable price for an R8 or NSX I m not sure which route would be more worthwhile for the brisk, abandoned city, windows (or top) down sunrise drive.

  That said you don t need windows when you re on a motorcycle, it s the most visceral, engaging experience ever...but I m stumped.

  Does anyone who has experience with each have an opinion or insight?

  Would you buy one of the smaller, earlier 911s if they remade them?

  They've gotten too large and too super-car like. I prefer the simple, early ones.

  Which one better? Ferrari? Porsche? Mazeradi? Or Bugatti?

  Favorite Answer:

  That depends on what you think "better" is. Bugatti is fastest in a straight line. Ferrari is fastest in the corners. Maserati is the most luxurious. And Porsche is mainly for older guys to look and feel younger.

  Better car? Porsche or Subaru?

  Favorite Answer:

  When it comes to road rally type racing- a Subaru is hard to beat.

  If a person is restricted to owning one car and the area they live in is subject to much snow, clearly a Subaru.

  But if owning two cars is possible, then buy one Subaru and one Miata. It is cheaper then one Porsche and has most of the bases covered. The only possible other vehicle that might be needed is a pick up truck and for that an old beater Ford Ranger will do.

  If you are talking about the BRZ style Subaru, save you money and don't buy either! But a Miata, the most raced car in the world.
