Porsches... No Attention?
 
Is it me or when you see a Porsche drive by or even on the streets, you don't get that "Wow! A porsche" type of feeling that it is supposed to generate?

LP700-4 08-13-2011 07:16 PM

I dont get that feeling, but obviously when its a higher end model like a GT3RS or something, i get a bit of that feeling.

I personally think that while Porsches are nice cars and all, they aren't any kind of exotic or anything, they are merely sportscars.

its true, most non-car enthusiast people on the road wouldnt be able to tell a difference between a regular c4 and a turbo lol

dignatas 08-13-2011 07:42 PM

only top ends are noticeable, but a person won't go WOW like a lambo or ferrari

TOPEC 08-13-2011 07:53 PM

porsches aren't known to be exotics to begin with thats why

Porsches aren't priced in the super exotic price ranges like Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Thats not true, cost doesnt have to do with anything, Most GT-R's cost less than a ferrari or lambo but they always get my attention.....

It's because Porsches aren't that rare. You couldn't buy a 458 right now even if you tried. If you somehow managed to find a wait list that wasn't a year in, you're going to be paying upward of $300k.

...while you can walk into a Porsche dealership with a bag of money and walk out with a 911.

That and Porsches are slightly douchey. I'm not saying all Porsches are driven by douches. I know some cool people here at RS that drive Porsches but just in general, when you imagine someone with a Porsche, they're middle aged dudes that get annoyed by your pronunciation of "Porsche", regardless of how close to correct it is.

I personally don't notice Porsches, really, unless it's a classic or a CGT. 911s aren't rare. I don't even particularly think they're that exotic, especially since given the same amount of money, you could get a more interesting car.

They are good cars but they don't make me take a second look at them. I'll be like, "Oh, a Porsche, that's cool" but that's it. Kind of like an M3 or an S5.

Now a ferrari or a lambo might make me do a double take.

ruthless 08-13-2011 08:28 PM

saw porsche panamera S today in brown, and was like meh nice Porsche
see orange Lamborghini gallardo (at superstore, lol), o shit a lambo!

Porsches are more for car enthusiasts who appreciate a car for what its engine is. They don't have that aggressive look like lambo's, r8's, aston marten, etc which make the car stand out amongst every day traffic.

cressydrift 08-13-2011 11:08 PM

I love the fact they get no attention. That whats makes them the most desirable sports car for me. If you roll in a Ferrari you get every jack off asking you how much, how fast etc. Plus you can not replace the sound of a flat 6!!!!
