MotorWeek Road Test: 2009 Porsche 911 S

[MrTONYTONYM]

Why is this car faster than the GT3? And why does GT3 costs so much more?

[TheArfdog]

Goddamn 1/4 @ 117 mph? Does Porsche rate their cars in RWHP or something?? That engine is making at least 400 hp!

[soucorp]

Nice car, but wrong color and get rid of the PDK auto shifter, rather go with a white Carrera with manual gearbox!!!

[jezebel007]

i luv my 911s :)

[m3trooper]

The 911 might be just TOO perfect of a car!! ;-)

[yourbestfriend6492]

Four seconds to 60 and it gets 19/26 mpg.... That ridiculous. The 911 Targa 4S is my personal favorite. The only car I'd compare it to is an Audi R8. I'd wouldn't be able to decide, I'd have to get both. Unfortunately I don't have to worry about that...

[rockjakhan]

talking of class, on the scale of 1 to 10, Porsche is 10 and Maserati is somewhere at 4.

why the hell are we comparing these two btfw?

[lovesailor99]

@rockjakhan dude keep squeezing your pimples on you face... Maserati was winning races while ferdinad porsche... was still in short trousers! lol.. Massa is class in lenght and breath.. and not a would be VW beetle! lol

[MacAppleJack]

this is the second set of rims porsche has swiped from the corvette with the 2005 now the z06. you would think the be a little more creative..nice look tho.

[ImStupidEric]

I like Porsche!

[seroyer2]

let me tell you somting about 911's I love them, but i almost got killed in one on a track, because of that damn Rear end, I was not driving but it stepped out, and we where facing back words about as fast as i could blink. it was a 993 GT2 BTW, what a fast fuck car wow.

[BudleighSaltertonBoy]

Excelent car. But I advise the manual transmission. Save yourself the money and anyways shifting your own gears is more fun. Why would anyone want a porsche with an automatic anyways when it is all about driving enjoyment?

[seroyer2]

thats why they did not offer the PDK on the new GT3.

[hadabenz]

i have to agree with you that supercars should be driven with a clutch..... porsche built PDK as a technological showcase to the world that they too can make a fast-shifting sequential gearbox... viva la manual

[BudleighSaltertonBoy]

Amen to that!

[diogopintotarrafa]

forget it!

he is just a kid that plays to much need for speed

[flamaq5]

The Carrera 4S with PDK was 5 seconds slower than the CTS-V around the Nurburgring. I'd rather have the 911, but you can't deny the performance of the Caddy.

[77chatham]

for that kind of cake you can get a car with more performance than that! M5!CTS-v or even biuld your own

[AdamsJoshua85]

I love it, but would prefer a e92 me with upgrades for that price although this Porsche is top notch. "And what's with the C5 z06 wheels"

[DualofChaos]

thats nearly maserati territory money!

[cbailey781]

maserati's can't handle though

[DualofChaos]

sure it can't handle like a 911, nothing can in its price range (except GT-R) but maserati has back seats and a proper trunk. I have no problem with a under

100k porsche 911 but over that its maserati territory

[redline055]

a porsche 911 is twice the car a maserati is!! maserati has some decent race wins in the EARLY days of racing but have really done nothing since WW 2, come on dude! and their cars were unreliable pieces of crap up until recently (when they were saved by ferrari Fiat.) comparing a porsche to a maserati is like comparing a kia to a honda.

[DualofChaos]

yes porsche has been doing better lately than maserati, everyone has, but maserati still exists because its a valuable nameplate. Remember that porsche only has done better than maserati because it has been saved by the german government a millions times.

Think of it as this, a new M3 is better than an older Ferrari 355, but which one would you rather have (forget about money and think about it)

[TangoR34]

Porsche-DuppelKupplung-(getrie­be) how hard is it?

[wahdaheck]

did this car have launch control when u guys did the 0-60mph in 4secs?
