Is there a good 911 (996/997) forum like ours?
 

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask about other forums (please delete this thread if that's the case).

Is there a similar forum for 911s?

I'm interested in purchasing a later year 996 Turbo or an early year 997 non-turbo.

I have found 986forum to be the best car forum that I belong to (and I am a member of a few) with a wide range members ranging from tech-heads to just happy owners. I'm looking for a place to research my purchase that has this wide range of opinion.

When I bought my Boxster, it was pretty much on a whim (with a little help from our forum). This time, I'd be doing some more serious research.

try
renntech.org
6speedonline.com
pcars.net

they are all for all porsches, but very good

Yeah, they all will do... renntech is the most techincal, 6 speed is the most showoff. None are easy going like this place.

Also look at http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/index.php

RennTech is much more purely tech related, but a very good place to go for info. While it covers all Porsches, it is mostly 9x6/9x7 related.

And no, it isn't as "easy going" as this place. But worth the time! :cheers:

Pelican has a friendly tech savvy community.

I go to Pelican, and Rennlist as well. Both are fine sites, as is this one. *Warning* there are some suprisingly anti-Boxster posters on these sites. Ignore those, as most members are tech savy Porsche lovers too. :cheers:

This anti boxster thing is so annoying. I am not a huge fan of the 911 but appreciate its attraction. Wouldn't think of dumping on someone's love of the model.

Hey, life is short, no time for that nonsense.

:)

I love all things 911, and have for the last 30 years I've owned the various models (Carreras, RS America and turbos). With that said, my Boxster S is an absolute joy to drive and I am constantly defending the car to the 911 purists.

They snicker until I take them around the track a few laps; it will run circles around most 911s these days...even on street tires. My friend runs against my track prepared '73 2.4 911 in his Box S with R spec tires...we run about identical lap times and I guarantee he's not working as hard as I am.

Oh, almost forgot...+1 on Renntech and Pelican, though I really appreciate this forum.
