Get more looks in it than the Z4 that's for sure. People will come talk to me about the car, ask me what it is, tell me they love it.

Yep I get a lot of attention, but I agree it is location...location...location.

Out here in Oakley you won't see too many Porsches or exotics on a regular basis. Oh people own them, but they are hidden away in there 6 car garages and will only be used on 'special' occasions, whenever that is I do not know, maybe weekends. But I drive mine often and with the colour and aero kit it adds to the head turning. And I love it too

Def location, not too many pcars in baltimore on a regular basis. My black C2 looked way more agressive with 19's and the aero kit but didnt get much attention.

The stock looking silver turbo on the other hand does get a lot of looks but I would not say they are admiring looks, more like "who does that 20 something think he is in that loud a$$ porsche?"

hmm, when I drive it I tend to notice some looks and questions at the gas stations but nothing major.

However, when my wife drives it she practically gets mauled by guys.

Downtown the car also attracts the homeless for obvious reasons.

Location does make a difference but I always get compliments and questions. In fact even though its a 99' with almost 100K miles most non-porsche people think its new lolol

I caught my ex-boss drooling over my car a few months ago while I was tooling around town. I was waiting for the light to change as he drove past in his Chevy Tahoe school bus. He didn't recognize me in my 996 - if he had he would have looked away.

Otherwise, not too many turned heads down this way - P-cars are all over the place.

-it depends on what your 911 looks like; if you're stock probably nothing as i myself wouldn't look myself - plain boring

-just because they turn their head to look doesnt mean it's cuz they like it or like u or whatever; in fact, if yours is modded weird, they may well be thinking wtf was he thinking? which i do a lot more of than actually admiring the way the person modified their car

my car def gets A LOT of stares and conversation with me and mostly it's been good. it gets a LOT more attn than my E46 M3 on BBS LMs for sure without a doubt and i thought i got a good amount of attn in that sucker.

In ST.Louis it was a like being in a fish tank. Now in Seattle I get a few, most of the time from car guy's who notice the wine of the Super Charger.

They get looks and compliments.....and it's both because Pcars are not that common here in cheese country....but also because they're each a tad different. Agreeing with Ben that, you can do 8-10 things on a car that either make it incredibly good (and different)........or, you can wreck it .
Speaking of wrecking it....the black isn't getting any looks, had a bad track 'incident' 2 weekends back.....she won't see light for some time.....sh#t happens.
