Very true. The reason why I love GT3 RS's is that awesome spoiler in the back. I am not even a spoiler person either. On the GT3's its looks badass.

The 911 is THE most involving sports car I have ever driven. The weight over the rear axle aids traction and the feeling of the weight shifting around (and managing that weight distribution) is one of the key attractive features about the car. The 911 is an epic epic car. Unfortunately Porsche seem to have 'engineered out' this feeling in the 991 chassis. |

Porsche gave you a front engine car, they brought exclusive product here to the states with what you speak of with "v8" engines, yet the car you speak of with its power plant in the ass end still survives. They gave you, and are still giving you a "mid engine" car right? Arguably so that this is the "correct place for any true race/sports car due to center of gravity right? And yet the car with the engine in the back survives. Not only survives and brings the soul it always aimed to provide but it outsells the cheaper cayman/boxter by 3/1. A viper is a pile of Chrysler shit with a pickup engine if you want to compare a beetle to a Porsche. Porsche not only kicks the shit out of it on track, it does so on the every day livability as well. Especially with the wide range of 911's in the offering. I'd take a base 911 before I'd ever consider a viper. The pedigree is there not sure why the engine being in the back bothers you so much. Its unique and if you don't want to pay that much for a Porsche then heck don't. But many people wouldn't pay 120k for a god damn viper and them asking that much money is the real travesty, so much that the new 2016 exact same car as a 2015 costs 15k less all of a sudden...imagine that..whats that tell you. I'd pick a Gt350 over a viper too. Bespoke motor, 7:28 ring time, what more does anyone want at 61k. Cant argue that. Quote:
I will never understand fully peoples logic of just purely trashing something to trash it I guess. Its like saying American cars are shit and they are cheap when indeed its not so and have made amazing strides in the last decade. Is a Corvette shit because the engine is in the front and uses a 97 year old pushrod technology...umm NO. Can we all appreciate the Viper and how cool it looks. Hell yeah. It kicked some ass in the 90's @ Lemans. The GTS was Shelby's comback car. All cars have their perfections and imperfections, and there is a place for both or all sports cars of today. Something for everyone. I'll just end it there.

Ill take an engine in the left front fender if it sounds like that, looks like a 911 and wins trophies its entire existence. I can just buy a therapist to help me cope with people making fun of me because my engine is in the "wrong place" so I can fit in socially on a better and more comfortable scale.
