Infamous for their unforgiving handling characteristics when driven at the limit, the first Porsche 911 and the second generation Chevrolet Corvair are more likely nemesis than either company intended or collectors may realize. Both offer six-cylinder air-cooled engines, placed distantly behind the rear seats. Both are lightweight grand touring 2+2 with a focus on sportiness,…
At the end of 1988, a Porsche 911 (G-series) left Stuttgart destined for sale somewhere in the world, thus contributing to a total of 32,000 Porsches sold that year.

Sold – $85,000 (plus fees) Given its long production life and venerable performance reputation, little needs to be said about Porsche’s 911.

Building off of the success of the 911 GT program, Porsche finally relented in 2016 to wide consumer demand for a stiff-necked version of the beloved Cayman by introducing the GT4. Since 2006, when it first launched, enthusiasts lavishly exulted the Cayman for its sublime handling and precision. However, the performance disparity between even entry-level…
