If you had a choice between...
An RX8 or a 2000+ Porsche 911 Turbo or Non-Turbo, which one would you pick? (price isn't a factor)
I'm kind of leaning towards the Porsche right now...but i'm still trying to decide.

A better question would to be asking what price range you are shopping in.

I'd hate to pay to maintain a Porsche, but for the money of a 911 Turbo, I'm sure I could find something nicer than an RX-8 and still be reliable.

i'm not really shopping around a price range. as long as the price is reasonable, then i'm fine. the reason i'm looking at porsches is because right now i'm driving an '82 porsche 911sc targa, and i've been wanting an RX8. after test driving one, my dad suggested that i trade in the porsche for a newer one, and after looking at some online, i'm considering it.

Wait, you've been trying to haggle on used RX-8s under 20k and now you're asking if you should get a 2000+ 911 Turbo or an RX-8? Are you sure you didn't get lost on the way to the Gran Turismo 4 used car lot?

By far get the turbo. I own an rx8 and my friend just got a new 2008 911 turbo. Not only does his car keep close with my bike (Kawasaki ninja) in acceleration, but it also handles extremely well. If money wasnt an option for me i would get the turbo without a doubt.

Why not a Cayman turbo?

I do like the seat strapped to the missile idea though!

I don't want the GT because it's only got two seats. Even though the back seats on the regular 911 are basically useless, they're still nice to have. Right now we're looking at this one
