    2014 Ftype Convertible, plenty of fun with that V6S, and that beautiful back that makes Astons look cheap when parked aside.
    I used to love its sound, but the Speciale kinda eclipses that now...

    I'm a Porsche guy as well and have owned since '05. Currently have 2 at the moment, one of which is my daily shown below. It's a '21 Cayenne GTS Coupe. The other is an '84 Targa.
    I had a Taycan as a loaner and also drove one at an autocross @ Limerock Speedway. What is yours and S, etc?

    Wont be a DD but not sure about the Raptor. I just sold my 2019 Raptor and ordered this 2022 Shelby Baja which I’m getting next week. Tow capacity of 20,000 and over a 1000 of torque..LOL

    Yes the Shelby Baja won’t be a daily so I’m guess I’m off on the thread. My daily I split time between a 911ts cabriolet and Taycan 4s (soon to be Turbo S).

    That Raptor is a monster. Just joking about it being a dad Raptor. If you're ever in Colorado, drop by with it and take me for a ride in Pike National Forest.

    I have a huge garage you can park it in. Radiant heated.

    Do you really enjoy your Taycan?

    Looks like such a big and long car to me compared to the 992.

    Haha, no problem George. My wife has no idea what’s coming. It’s not actually a Ford raptor ( which I had and just sold) but an F250 that Shelby fully modified inside and out (it’s called a Shelby super Baja). They only make 250/year and they are nearly impossible to find but I got lucky. That said, I’m having a hell of time getting it across the USA to the west coast so I may end up taking you up on your offer lol.

    @pninja005 - yes I hate to admit it and the reason I went with the 4s is I was very skeptical about the Porsche electric but I absolutely LOVE the Taycan. They aren’t that big. Like a 4 door 911 not a panamera. But yes they are heavy but amazingly planted and crazy crazy fast and quick with great battery life. Porsche underestimate the range like do everything it’s listed at 185 miles but in normal weather (drops on the cold) I get closer to 300 easy. That said I’m not sold on the 296 either and waiting for my F8 (the last my dealer said he could get)

    Ah, that explains the high tow rating. Stock SuperCrew Raptors can only tow 8K pounds. SuperCabs only 6K!

    I may get an F-250 Tremor so I have more useful towing capacity. Carli makes a suspension for it that gets good reviews.

    Yes I looked at some f250 platinums with the tremor but they are almost as rare as these Shelby beasts unless you want to wait 6-9 months for an order. My last surf boat was 8k exactly so the raptor worked ok for short pulls but I bought a new surf boat this fall and it’s closer to 11.5k with the trailer so it was time to step it up to a 3/4 ton

    It is a fool's errand to tow 12k with a 3/4 ton vehicle. Pulling it is one thing. Steering, stopping, and recovering from unexpected surprises is another thing entirely.
