Thought it'd be interesting to see everyone's opinion out there.

IF... you were to replace your current Porsche (not buy in addition to), what cars would be your top considerations?

I'm not looking to replace my 991.1S, but i do a lot of internet window shopping when i'm bored just to see hahah. For me, if i were to sell my car right now, the only cars i would consider as a replacement would be either the Lexus LC500 or the BMW M2C. Why? Because one important factor for me is that the car needs to have rear seats. Maybe not for an adult, but at least to fit a child seat in the back. That was the #1 reason i ended up selling my 95 NSX last year to get a 911 because I wanted to take my wife and kid out with me in the fun car with all of us together.

So hypothetically, if yall wanted to replace your current Porsche, what car would it be and what Porsche do you have currently have?

My 944 Turbo is my hot rod and test bed for all things mechanical, so if I HAD to replace it, I'd probably go with a C5 Z06. It actually has a lot in common with the front engine, rear transaxle connected via torque tube, etc. It's also a hot-rodder's dream with more aftermarket parts that you can dream about.

The 992 Turbo S is my "holy cow, I get to drive THIS!" car. If I had to replace it, I'd flip a coin between a Huracan and a Ferrari F8 Tributo. I'd say McClaren 720S, but I don't want to end up on YouTube as one of those heavy old guys who get out by rolling onto the ground... :)

hahah "heavy old guys who get out by rolling onto the ground" LOL yeah my NSX was getting trickier for me to get out each year that passed. i looked like i was trying to breakdance everytime i exit lol.

944 Turbo is an awesome car! i feel like it just gets better looking with time too.
