TOP 6 - Porsche 911 GT2



Are you enough driver for the most powerful roadgoing Porsche ever sold to the public? With 523 hp and rear-drive only, the GT2 is a fearsome racing machine in civilian drag that will clobber all but the exotic elite. Electronic aids tame the inevitable oversteer. Never, ever turn them off.

TOP 5 - Porsche 911 Carrera



A brilliant 2004 redesign restored many of the visceral qualities of earlier air-cooled 911s. Though having a smaller engine, the Carrera (including the glass-roof Targa) is usually lighter and quicker than competitors, has sharper steering and better brakes, and a firmer grip on the road.

TOP 4 - Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet



The 911 Carrera cabriolet has an extensive menu of engines and options. Whatever flavor it is, the "Cab" is an indulgent thrill machine with a stiff chassis, proper Porsche handling, and an enthralling sound. It might not be hard-core as the hardtop, but the sun can be let in every day.

TOP 3 - Porsche 911 Targa



A brilliant 2004 redesign restored many of the visceral qualities of earlier air-cooled 911s. Though having a smaller engine, the Carrera (including the glass-roof Targa) is usually lighter and quicker than competitors, has sharper steering and better brakes, and a firmer grip on the road.

TOP 2 - Porsche 911 GT3



Show your racing license at the door for this stripped-down, lightweight, track-ready 911. The GT3 packs 65 more horses than a Carrera S, and the RS eliminates luxury features and the rear seat and charges even more for the honor. Prepare to sweat, these cars are a glorious workout.

TOP 1 - Porsche 911 Turbo



With 480 horsepower, the 911 Turbo is a white-knuckle rocket in a straight line and glued to the pavement in corners. It's not as sophisticated as the new Audi R8, but it's a visceral experience with whip-saw delivery from the turbos and a penchant for power-on oversteer. Hold fast.
