porsche 

There are many ways to describe a car that has been a symbol for decades. The car makers quality has never been lost on any one. The Porsche symbolizes all that is good in the world. Normally driven by the Hollywood and Malibu high and mighty.

This car has been featured in so many movies and songs that it has been implanted in our brains as the car that you want. Even if your a single dad living in the Sub-urbs that has to take his kids to school every morning.

we've seen porsche start making cars for the common man in past years. the Boxter being one of the first car's Porsche made for a "lower price tag". it was also the second least powerful of the makers sport cars. Leaving much to be desired from us Hard core porsche drivers (mainly those who drive Porsches from the years 1962 to 1990.)

Porsche 

The ultimate mid-life crisis car.

When Carl noticed his receding hairline, the first thing he did was run out to the local Porsche dealership, where he bought a bright red 911 with a rear spoiler the size of a dinig room table.

Porsche 

The best car manufacture on Earth. German precision engineering and total kick ass power. The 911 Turbo is and always will be one of the greatest cars ever.
Porsche also manufactured German tank turrets during WWII. The Pzkpfw VI King Tiger used a Porsche turret.

"The Porsche 911 Turbo kicks all other cars asses."

"Stuttgart Power!"

Porsche 

A wonderful car made in Germany. Contrary to popular belief, it is pronounced "Pour-Shuh" not just "Poursh".

When you say Porsche wrong, you let the world know that you don't deserve one.

One of the best cars ever made (speaking from experience from owning a 83' 911). Porsche has made models from the No. 1 in 1948 to the soon to be released C7S. Be prepared for a lot of info on the 911 model. Porsche's most popular model, the 911, has a long history from 1965 to the present, and includes many "side" models. For example, a 911 from 1991 to 1994 is known as a 964, a 911 from 1995-1998 is known as the 993, a 911 from 1999-2004 is known as the 996, and the 911 from 2005 is known as the 997. Also, in the 70's and 80's Porsche 911 Turbos were also known as the 930.
The older 911s (in the 60's, 70's, and 80's) had the "S", "T", "E", "RS", "Carrera", and "SC" trim.

In the 70's, and early 80's the 911 had a 2.4, 2.7, and 3.0 litre engines. According to many 911 owners, the 2.7 litre engine had a lot of cooling problems due to the 5 blade cooling fan not getting enough air into the engine. The more refined 3.0 litre (1978-1983)is known to be a very reliable and "bulletproof" engine. The 2.7 and 3.0 also used the CIS fuel injection, opposed to later engines, like the 3.2 litre (1984-1988) and the 3.6 litre (1989-1998)which used Motronic fuel injection.

The Porsche 911 included a few different body styles, the Targa, Coupe, and Cabriolet. The Targa (produced from 1967 to the present)is a half coupe / half cabriolet trim that includes a removeable top, but a permanent rear window. The cabriolet, produced from 1983 on, came with Turbo and non-turbo models. The coupe was the first trim of the 911, and is one of the more popular trims.

The 911 Turbo (I believe from 1975 on)is a very expensive 911, and in the 80's, the Porsche factory would make a "Turbo Look", to sell a 911 that had the widebody, and the turbo tail, but no turbo engine.

Performance wise, Porsches are very fast cars, and very good track cars. For the older Porsche 911's (70's and 80's) the 0-60 mph time was from 5-8 seconds. The Turbo in the same year range could do 0-60 in 5 seconds or under, and the later models can do 0-60 in 3-5 seconds.

I believe that's it for the 911. I don't know much about other models, so I won't comment on them.

Porsche…. It’s a little too small to get laid IN…. But you get laid, the minute you get OUT.
