Hi,

Sorry I don't agree at all. Frankly, if I could only have 1 Sports Car (Heaven Forbid!), I doubt it would be a Porsche.

Lotus is Much closer to the roots of Sports Car Driving, Ferrari has that sound, a Z8 Alpina would look wonderful with my *ss in the seat, a Classic Merc or Jag leave little want.

All these Marques have a much greater Legacy (and probably factored into Porche's decision to even produce a Sports Car to begin with). They, and others such as Healey, MG, Triumph, Alfa, etc., created the Sports Car Market afterall.

Porsche is a Fine Car, maybe even a Great one, but not the Only one! Their Tag Line is certainly very Powerful, but Frankly, there are Lots of Substitutes...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
