Tough question, I've only had two & they were both great! Make a choice, any other car or a Porsche????? I choose any Porsche. Not assure if this is a legitimate vote but there it is.

Hey Vas, Surely the best Porsche is the one in your garage

No its not. It may be for you. If so, make that your vote. It does not have to be the fastest Porsche road car ,or your own. The Greatest Porsche road car in your opinion, for what ever reason you see fit. It may be a 73 RS or 993 RS, whatever you want, it may be a 928. Lets have a real poll and find out what members think. Submit your vote.

356 ...........Lock it in! The gene pool of what we see today from a production point of view. Its success paved the way and produced a family of cars that we can admire and enjoy for many different reasons. To be honest, I'd love to have any Porsche car in my garage. Ideal reincarnation - Jerry Seinfeld. His garage cost around $1.4 million to build and I think he has close to 50 vehicles, at least I've made a start (In Jerry's words, I've been transported ) Cheers, Stepo

The Porsche I would like most to have in my garage is the 904 Carrera GTS coupe...über cool looks, rare and great race history.

Porsche 917K Straße Singer 918 in this order! Kerry

Surely any car (not SUV) with a Porsche badge thats put a stupid grin on your dial is the one to have , does it really matter which one?

Come on Harv's, its like Jerry says - its like playing marbles again - someone's always got a better and bigger "cannonball" than you! But of course you're right, any Porsche is the best Porsche when you're gripping the wheel! Kerry

Road car? 74 Carrera 3.0 RS - kind of set the mould and rare as rocking horse you know what

And the winner is.....the first car to get to two (2) votes

Great picks Gents,so far. Very good Kerry and Doug,pushn the edge. Come on Harvs, Its just a bit of fun. But interesting to see the range of favs so far. Keep up with the votes Gents, we may even get two votes for the same car.

Hi All, A few great choices thus far. Rather than give one car the first 'second' vote and thus end the pole, i will throw another out there. Road going 911 GT1. Only just a road car but a ball tearer none the less. There is a great you tube clip of it that I would have attached if I could get it to work. Harvs, a mate of mine took me for a spin in a Cayenne Turbo not that long ago and that put a massive grin on my face Keep throwing them up lads, we're bound to get a two vote car soon. Andy S

Hey Kerry, I've found your #1 pick 917, sorry it's not the Straße but much more comfortable........ 917chair.bmp Also found a nice machine from 1970 "The Tapiro", car's nice too! Cheers, Stepo

It seems to me that lately that Porsche with the 911 has been steadily improving and refining a 'flawed' concept to the point where the cars are remarkable. Damning the modern cars with the 'evolution' word. However, some 25 years ago when there was arguably more room for innovation and change, the Porsche team was doing some truly ground-breaking engineering work. With that in mind, my vote goes to the Porsche 959. Water cooled, twin turbo, 4WD, composite materials, on-the-fly suspension adjustment, serious aero, onboard TPMS and more. A true statement car available in 'Comfort' or 'Sport' specification. Full details here .

Great choice. Is it true the Lindsay Fox has the only 959 in Australia? You too could be the proud owner for A$342,773. Porsche 959 For Sale

I think that its the only one that came in as new. I have a feeling another came over at some later stage. Not 100% sure. Keep the votes coming gents.

Surprising though isn't it that with our strong AU$, we could buy one of the absolute Porsche legends for less than AU$350K?! Kerry

Aussie dollar price of a Singer has come down substantially too Kez...

They made 113 959s in 1987. 150 in 1988. 29 959S coupes also in 1988. So for a rare car, that does seem cheap.

I suspect that there is another 959 around, as I saw a burgundy 959 in a Canberra auto electrician's shop 8 years ago. And best road Porsche, the Carrera GT.

Ok its over. Following a massive response The Porsche Forum has voted The Greatest Porsche Road Car - - - - No one car. But we did get a bit of a feel for some popular models. Thanks to those who did vote and have a say. It was a bit of fun and a complete flop all at the same time. I think another is on the cards at some point. Maybe the most popular Race Car Porsche? Feel free to stop me from another disaster!

my favourite http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/12/this-is-what-the-first-ever-porsche-911-turbo-looks-like-today/

Yes Jnr. What a great looking car. Was this the car that was for sale a few years ago. I remember a silver one in the early 80s,that was a prototype doing porsche club events. The story was that it was a show prototype with an engine made of wood. I think it had Carrera turbo on the doors. I saw it for sale at the Porsche stand at Phillip Island Classics a few years ago. Jnr or anyone know more about that car? I think Vince Smart may have owned the car.

yes turbo protoype at 74 frankfurt motor show with wooden engine owned by graham stockley for the bulk of it's life,then by a pilot(not sure of his name) who had it totally rebuilt about 7 or 8 years ago who then sold it overseas graham stockley definately like to actually use the car,running it in the old porsche cup for a few years i did an engine rebuild in the late 80's one of the most awesome sounding cars at full noise ,when in it it recently was up for sale again

Thats great info Jnr. I saw that car many times and the sound was awesome. Did that car have a 3L Turbo or a N/A engine? I was only 12 at the time and cant remember. I know it was a turbo prototype, but I dont think Graham ran it with a turbo engine.

3.0litre mechanical injection with slides car was transformed into an rsr after the motor show the noise at 8000 was pure bliss

There is a white one comfort in Queensland owned by a prominent collector (Peter H.), that 'burgundy' one you saw left the country some time ago.

One of my all-time favourites as well.

apparently vince smart owned it before stockley before my time there were 2 959's in melbourne fox's silver one and bartels dark metallic brown one

Thanks Jnr. Its good to get these things cleared up. It keeps me sane. I remember Vince driving the car. I think he may have sold it to Graham, then it was sold a number of times. Any idea what it sold for last time? Do you know anything about the engine made of wood? Did it end up at Porsche Germany? Hope to meet you one day Jnr, sounds like we can have a fair old chat.

all i know is when stockley sold it it was 150k and took a while to sell was an absolute bargain. yeah will catch up one day vas

For me, GT3RS in Vipergreen, James May talks about the "fiz", for me this car does that. Saw one in the metal in Brisbane, just pure automotive pornography.. Only my opinion
