When we first started this site we were a bit myopic in our view of Porsche. We were all about air-cooled Porsches and focused even more narrowly on 993s alone. Over the past three years (yes, we've been doing this just about that long now) as PorschePurist has grown, so has our love affair with all types of Porsches. Not only have we added a Cayenne to our garage, we became fans of the Cayman and the Boxster, lusted after a 914 and would kill to own a new 911 GT2 RS.

Given our change in attitude we thought it was time to reach out and survey your feelings. Not only are we interested in your thoughts, but your answers will help us to shape our future content and offerings. So, as the title of this post says, "What's Your Favorite Porsche and Why?"

I'd drive this

I am truly content with my current 914-6 and Cayman R, but I would seriously trade both for a 918 spyder weissach edition as my daily driver.

No, I think that summes it up.

Posted by: Perry Kiehl May 19 2017, 10:27 PM

914/8, 904, '97 GT1, but 964's are special to me as well.

Posted by: Larmo63 May 19 2017, 10:39 PM

A nice, well sorted '73 911S with a sunroof wouldn't be bad....

CGT.

Because nothing I've driven—older or newer—even comes close.

Either one of the cars in my garage is fine.

Posted by: Spoke May 20 2017, 10:09 AM

For me it begins and ends with the 917 especially in the Gulf colors.

Some 550s look better than others, and it's all down to the lines and shapes. This is one of the good ones...

We ran the #96 Abarth Carrera owned by Mr. Croul down at Coronado a few years ago. The stories I could tell. Two surfers in a pretty expensive car.

Driver? 944 turbo. Lot of history with that one and me and I feel extremely comfortable in the car for long distances as well. Just something about the car.

Racer? Really love the 935's when they are turned up.

There's something special with the 910 for me.

917
Back in 1971 my father took my brothers and me to see the movie Le Mans. And the addiction began...

Having had a C4S, a 99s, several 911's, and a 71 914 in the early 70's and now have a 71 decades later.... (converted to a 6....), I'll choose...... a 71 914 Alex.

Can't afford a real one, so I got a copy of one.

Posted by: Drums66 May 21 2017, 11:06 PM

........For sure,(& I also)

Posted by: 6freak May 22 2017, 07:01 AM

the one in may shop because its the first and only one I will probably ever own

Posted by: Cairo94507 May 22 2017, 08:21 AM

My 914-6..... I have not seen it in my garage for 5 years now; I hope to see it back in my garage by the end of the year. I hope the car does not get confused the old garage is gone and I have a new one now. Of course it needs to be remodeled. Hopefully, come spring, my new (the house was built in 1977) 3-car will become a 4-car when I add 10-11' to it and install a scissor lift in the floor. Lots to do....

Posted by: mbseto May 23 2017, 09:16 AM

I'll echo: the one in my garage (914). Why? Because in the end, I'm a driver and it's the one I can drive.

Posted by: Steve May 23 2017, 10:25 AM

Mine also, but wouldn't mine also having a 3.6 914 and a carbureted 2.7 or 3.0 914.
I've also had a tip 993 and don't miss it. However the engine would of been nice in my 914.

Posted by: kgruen2 May 23 2017, 02:08 PM

I'm with you. Absolutely the best looking and great sound.
