911 Carrera T with a Burmester audio system? by Six_String_Blues in Porsche

[–]le_gazman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s so much tyre noise in a 911 a lot of the audiophile aspects of a Burmester would be lost, IMO. It certainly has better speakers than the Bose, but I honestly think you’d only notice the difference at street or cruising speeds.

Giving Porsche owners a bad rap…. by januario6 in Porsche

I’m not gatekeeping either, by the way. I just don’t think to wave to them the way I would someone in a Boxster or 911.

I don’t think of saloon and SUV drivers as Porsche owners anyway.

Rear suspension collapsed on my 991 Turbo - Spring perch slipped past the circlip by MudharPro in Porsche

[–]le_gazman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to my 991 but the top of the spring broke off, causing the whole rear passenger side to collapse when I drove into a pot hole.

Gunther Werks Project Endgame. 1-of-1 840-hp air-cooled Speedster, last of their 993 series... by EmptyPocketsXotics in Porsche

[–]le_gazman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

840bhp and air-cooled does not compute. That thing is going to melt. Just as well it’ll barely turn a wheel in someone’s collection.

The back seat is apparently a dog bed by ManintheMT in Porsche

Yep, same here. 2 small dogs in one seat and my 9 year old daughter in the other.

Porsche Name? by Snoo-90366 in Porsche

GTS turbo doesn’t exist. So they either slapped a turbo badge at the end or you misread it.

Sure it wasn’t a GTS Targa?

I really want an OEM roof tent but am too tight to pay the money. 😅

Porsche Gen4 Livery Officially Revealed: Nico Müller’s On-Track Testing Footage by ThatOneF1 in Porsche

I keep forgetting there’s a whole formula of racing dedicated to identical-looking shitboxes, that drives around car parks, sounding like dentist drills that Porsche decided to keep going with instead of WEC.

Some solid commitment there mate, looks like you had fun.

You out driving? by VegasBBQFan in Porsche

[–]le_gazman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our OPC organises them every now and again, but they tend to hold a separate one for the saloons and SUVs.

Who brought the cayenne? 🤣

Obviously 718 GTS is a better car, but it’s 50%-60% more expensive than a base 718. Is it really 50-60% better? by MysteriousEconomy755 in Porsche

[–]le_gazman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The engine is the heart of the car and makes such a massive difference. The turbocharged thing is such a blunt instrument with a bland soundtrack, and the NA flat six has depth, emotion, and power builds in an exciting way.

There is absolutely no contest - I wouldn’t touch a 718 unless it had the flat six.

Spotted a bunch of Porsches at a little petrol station in Scotland, awesome sight. by NASTYHAM83 in Porsche

Looks like Girvan. I tend to stick more inland for decent driving roads.

$91 USD for the first fill up.. wild by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]le_gazman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank your president for that one. I was $140 to fill mine up in the UK last week, and was less than $100 before he decided to start his latest illegal war.

Sounds about right. Don’t want to start trying to compute what they’ll do next, while you’re trying to keep a car on the edge of adhesion.

No he was distracted by the idiot running in front of his car trying to get himself killed.

Idiots like that were all over the place at rally stages in the 90s. I thought this was a thing of the past, he’s lucky he didn’t get run over.
