2009 - Storyboards

The 997 and 992 Sport Classic are both limited run models that have some similarities and differences

The 997 and 992 Sport Classic were both inspired by the 911 Carrera 2.7 RS

The 997 Sport Classic was introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Based on the Carrera S platform, the 997 Sport Classic had a slightly more powerful engine, producing around 23 horsepower more

The 2023 Porsche 992 Sport Classic was based on the 992.1 Turbo, but featured a few important distinctions

Its 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-6 was de-tuned from 572 hp to 542 hp and 442 lb-ft

This was still a lot more than the 997 Sport Classic's 402 hp and 310 lb-ft

The 992 Sport Classic was converted to rear-wheel drive and features a 7-speed manual transmission

The 997 Sport Classic's 6-speed manual with a 3.44 mechanical, limited-slip differential

Visually, the iconic ducktail spoiler and Fuchs wheels are present on both 911 Sport Classic models, but the ones on the 992 are center-lock

The classic theme continues inside the cabin of both 911s

Both generations of the Porsche 911 Sport Classic have tripled in value since their debut, making them great investments

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is insanely capable and costs a pretty penny, but one car matches its speed for half the price

Codenamed "Blue Devil", the 2009 C6 Corvette ZR-1 is capable enough to embarrass most exotic cars

What the 'Vette lacks in refinement, it more than makes up with grit and attitude

Said attitude comes from the LS9 supercharged V-8 that packs 638 hp and 604 lb-ft

The C6 ZR-1 sends its massive power only to the rear wheels, through one of the most popular 6-speed manual transmissions

It looks mean and it goes like it: 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds. First gear is good for 67 mph

The top speed of the C6 ZR-1 is limtied to 205 mph

The C6 ZR-1 is 272 pounds lighter than the 992 Turbo S, giving is superior power-to-weight ratio

The C6 ZR-1 was also the first Chevrolet Corvette to feature carbon-ceramic brakes

With 398 mm front brake rotors and 380mm at the rear

The C6 ZR-1 stops from 60 mph to a standstill in 98 feet - almost identical to the 992 Turbo S' 97 feet

A true bargain. Current prices average around $89,000. Half the price of a base 992 Turbo

The 2025 Porsche 992 Turbo starts at just under $200,000, before options. The 50th Anniversary edition will set you back over $260,000

Super SUVs are common today, but the Cayenne-based 2009 RUF Dakara was a groundbreaking model first its time

But the Dakara wasn't just a Cayenne with upgrades; it received a full-blown transformation

The body kit was extensive, featuring flared arches, massive wheels, and a track-worthy rear diffuser.

Its most distinguishing feature was the aggressive front end with 997 headlights

The interior was luxurious with high-quality materials, bespoke white leather seats, and a top-shelf sound system

The performance was phenomenal. The Dakara's tuned engine produced 600 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque

Performance is impressive by modern standards. 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds and it had a top speed of 180 mph

Additional features included a stiffer suspension, optional carbon ceramic brakes, and a sport exhaust system.

Modern super SUVs might match its performance, but the Dakara remains unique and collectible
