Wow that puts myself, Azgt3,plima and jim911 way above average!!
What's really cool is that I am now on the list for the 2009 998 GT3 and I will be 63 by the time that arrives.

Luis - don't make them feel old.
I was 30 on my First 996TT in 01 and left Porsche until now with a 07 997TT.
I should have left college much sooner than 28.. Mardi Gras and Alcohol for some reason extends your graduation dates!!

I am 69 and in my 12th porsche. 3 were Twin
Turbos. I don't want the rath of anyone but it kind of galls me for guys in their early 20's giving advise on 100K plus cars. If they really own these cars more power to them, I have a feeling many are wannabe porsche owners. I am considering the GT3 to replace the Targa 4S I just got, but probably will get a another turbo instead. No insult intended but it just takes a lot of living to give advise to anyone about anything. Again I apologize if I am insulting anyone, but I generally don't pay much attention to the young kids on this wonderful blog.

25 and it's my first Porsche. Was considering 996 TT for more forgiving driving and turbo experience (never owned a turbo car before) but ended up with GT3 (my 7th NA car). Do about a week of track days a year. Can't live without them.
Agreed. That's why I couldn't pass it up when I saw it forsale 1000 miles away from where I live.
EDIT: Hope to upgrade to 997 GT3 RS in 10 years when their prices gonna be no more $200k.
