Details on This Porsche 911:
Location GreenwoodVillage, Colorado
Description Yes I know this isn't a GT3, but is an uncommon car it's a 911 Carrera GTS convertible manual coupe. I think this deserves to be on the site.
For a daily driver, I'd probably point her towards a manual 4200, if she's willing to use a clutch pedal. Single clutch paddle shift units are rough in parking lots, and the clutches have incredibly short lives (usually only about 5,000 or so, which is part of why they have become so rare). Our manual A6, has 277,000 miles on the original clutch.
If your mom bought a freaking Lotus Elise, I uh, I don't know what I'd do lol. I actually got to sit in one last weekend and they're wildly hard to get in and out of and are really impractical. They probably make up for it in terms of fun to drive though! You'd definitely have one of the most unique driveways in your neighborhood if she did get an Elise or 4200 though!
well its going to be her daily and they r only 20k so not that expensive
and if she does I am telling her to start saving for gas and maintenance now
the other cars I am hoping she might buy is a sl500/55 amg or a elise
might dad isn't as flexible on his next car
he is only gonna buy a 997
Actually until very recently manuals have almost always returned better fuel economy than automatic cars. And if you guys can afford a Maserati, fuel economy shouldn't be an issue ;) Also, just want to make you aware of this, the earlier paddle shift units (such as the F1 transmissions in Ferraris and Maseratis, E-Gear in Lamborghinis, etc) were all single clutch transmissions, and they ate clutches every few thousand miles. I know that the 4200s were offered with real manual transmissions, though they are rare to find that way. But unless your family has money to burn, the GranSport would have to be driven occasionally to keep maintenance costs down. True you can blow up a real manual transmission if you don't know what you are doing, but you can skip gears when you shift (which you cannot do in an automatic) which improves fuel economy and reduces clutch/transmission wear.
he is thinking about it
also he is trying to get my mom to get a manual for her car but I am trying to make her get a Maserati gransport spyder with paddle shifters because it has better mpg
