I meant they say the same thing you said - like 'why get an aventador if the 911 turbo S is faster?'. Sorry I wasn't very clear. I know its definitely not a hypercar.

Do you have any idea how fast a 997 911 turbo is? There isn't a ton of cars that go 0-60 in <3.5 seconds. People say the same thing about the 911 turbo and other hyper cars. This is a ridiculous...

Most of the people that buy Luxury brands are dumb and care more about image than any performance or history. True fact.

You sound exactly like most Porsche owners on rennlist or 6speedonline. Please don't make a rash decision. If you're bored of your twin, don't jump straight into a 911!
