Peugeot have registered all numbers with 0 in the middle. 901-909. So that rules a few out for porsche.

Raleigh, NC word up, 919

Nick Benz Dec 11, 2012
If you could do that someone wouldve registered all numbers between 0-999 that havent already been used

...or better yet, sell them to Porsche as they need them LOL

Shelby Cassandra Dec 11, 2012
Makes me want to file for patent on the rest of the 900s. Lol. It would be like a fuck you to Porsche with their number system.

David Justice Dec 11, 2012
Porsche should just register all of the 900s

Nick Schnee Dec 11, 2012
They really should go for a 969 458/SLS/MP$ fighter...

@jason Not really is a 914 better than a 911?

Jason Brower Dec 11, 2012
The 919 will be a lower tier model than the 918? That's odd nomenclature.

If they put the power of the 911 into a Cayman, the Cayman would be the better car! Mid engine setup is always better than rear.

I was referring to the amounts of engineering in trying to control a rear engined car, not in Porsche as a company. Sorry for the confusion.

David Justice Dec 11, 2012
I meant on the 911. If they put same effort into the mid engined Cayman, id say it has a good chance to outperform the 911.

Theyve been making the 911 for 48 years. The GT2 RS is in the top 5 at the ring and they're only getting better. Porche reaching their ceiling i got a good laugh outta that one

Justin Routh Dec 11, 2012
Hahahaha you think porsche has reached their engineering ceiling. Care to explain how thats possible? Are they gonna stop researching and developing new technology along with every other car maker? Porsche makes some of the best drivers cars

The 911 will be forever! VIVA LA 911

David Justice Dec 11, 2012
It's about time I think. I love the 911, but for the future, there is so much you can do for a performance oriented rear engined car. Porsche may have reached the engineering ceiling if not pretty damn near it.
