No posts for a 911? This section of the forum has been very quiet since the changeover...

I'd head straight to a Porsche dealership if I ever won the lotto max.

This is, and always be, my first stop after a 6/49 win. Amid a sea of glass cannon pasta rockets, a 911 Turbo S seems like the ultimate 365 day a year, kinda/sorta reasonable personal land rocket to get around in.

The Porsche is light years ahead of the Italian cars in terms of build quality and usability.  The 911's are tremendous cars, and the turbo versions are on another level yet.

Thought from the title it was actually the RWD model but of course it's a C4 with PDK.

C2 GTS manual is my dream car.

Me too.
if we're talking lottery cars, i'll take a P100D with ludicrous mode (i think, i've never really thought about lottery cars).

911 GT3 is a special car, but Id be torn between it and the Turbo S.  The Turbo is just incredible.  The GT3 would be less expensive in the long run as they don't depreciate, but the Turbo is just so much car that can do so much from bend the space-time continuum at a race track to driving across country in comfort.

I think I'd like a last hydraulic steer car. Drove the GT-3 in Vegas & it was a blast! But as a DD & occaissional track car a 997 C2 S would work great for me! And is currently attainable!
