an m3 is very common car, as is a 745, s500. You are not gunna get attention on those cars. But if you bring(as I see here in my neighborhood) a ferrari or gt2 with the staggered 19 or 20" wheels, you are bound to get all the attention you can handle. If you see a ferrari or porsche at a meet or hangout, do you think an fd would get more attention than them? No they wouldnt. Plus if you have the money to buy a porsche, you should have enough to mod it, plain and simple.

I suppose it all depends on your perception of fast. It is more than enough to take a stock 911 turbo. It is more than enough to take a stock GT2 for that matter.
I agree that you dont need to do that much to make a 911 fast. It just happens that not much = $20,000.00. Being that I was looking at $79,000.00 for a used 2002 turbo with 15K miles on it and then adding mods I was up to almost 100K for a car that could do the same as my FD can do. It ended up being 1500/month to do it. I paid for my FD and all mods in cash and wasnt about to rack up 1/3rd of a house worth of consumer debt just for some additional bling bling factor.
And, in the end, my FD is cooler than a Porsche could ever be. When I pull over in the mountains I always have a crowd come up and ask me about it. People come up to me regualrly in parking lots and ask me about my car. I drive two other cars (M3, WRX) regularly and neither get me anywhere near that kind of attention. Even on my all carbon fiber Ducati I dont get anywhere near the kind of response that I do in my FD.
Which is why the only way I would trade up was if I could afford a GT2 in cash. I dont buy toys on money I dont have. Simple as that.

That why I said if I couldnt get a GT2 then I would not change cars. With a GT2 or a Carrera GT there is a lot of cool factor. I have never seen either of those two cars on the road. They are also more of a purist car.
i see what you mean..the GT2 is an amazing machine..def the car i would get if i had that kind of money, not a ferrari or a benz or anything..that car is pure art..
but for now, im waiting for that good deal on the viper im supposed to get
patience is my friend

Nice kill. I can't stand it when people get aggresive with me. Nice way to shut him down. There is a Viper around here that tried to race me in the M3 (which is a stock 2003). I didnt race since I knew it would lose. His license plate said UB 2 SLOW. I was so mad I wanst in the FD. One day I am going to find him and not be in the grocery getter.
