| Here's a close one.
On one hand you have the original roadster the Porsche 911 Cabriolet and
on the other the stylish new BMW roadster. At first glance many would
say choose the Porsche, being that Porsche sort of defines sporting car
in most peoples minds, however, BMW did an excellent job creating this
car. Both are full of that superb German engineering, power, excellent
handling, and all around great looks, where do you begin? The drive
of course. Both have great acceleration, the Porsche does get an
extra point for the extra gear- six gears definitely out perform five.
The BMW time comes out a little quicker zero to sixty however it is barely
noticeable. Either of these awesome machines will give you the thrill
you are looking for coming out of the apex of every turn. Those mountain
switch backs are exhilarating- even better than a day riding the roller
coasters at Six Flags. The power to stop the ride is just as great
as the power to make it go. No lack of breaking ability here.
For the price though, I'd say the BMW would give you all you need for $32,000
less. If you want a little more cargo room for all that road trip
fun, get the 911. The trunk is a little larger. I personally
find it to be a hard decision, if I could, I'd take them both. |
