Porsche's 911 is a success story nearly unrivaled among its sport car peers. First introduced for public consumption in 1965, it has been in non-stop production ever since. This alone speaks volumes about the 911's success and popularity. To its credit, however, Porsche has never allowed the 911 to rest on its laurels; the car simply gets better every year. More power, better handling, quicker stopping, and greater comfort.
Great as it is, the 911 still remains the perfect performance-tuner's companion. Regardless of vintage, any 911 can be made to perform better than its factory-stock brothers.
