Our favorite cars of 2011
Of all the cars we posted in 2011, these are our favorites (filtering out examples that aren’t realistically attainable— your 458 Italias and BMW M1s and the like). Recall any that we missed? Drop us a line or a link in the comments.
Here they are, then, in no particular order.
The color makes all the difference.

Nice selection… the irish green 911 is my car! In case you were wondering, you have 2 shots of it: one with the steelies & racing roundels & one with the fuchs alloys… both shots take by the PO. cheers, Mark

Mark, I had often wondered if they were the same car. Both are fantastic looks, so each image deserves to stay. What is the car wearing now?

Definitely prefer the look with the steelies. Sweet!

Yes, thank you. Subjectively, I’d say Mark’s car pulls it off the best though. For some reason the clean, basic vibe of the steel wheels just says, “I’m not here to compete with the look of the car, I’m just here to get the job done.”

Hahaha… how ironic! The 2 irish green 911 photos in that link are my car as well! The PO Matt tried a few different set-ups on that car in the time he had it, for sure! As for how it is now… I have been bringing it back to touring spec, so it looks like this: http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q139/markymark_1968/road%20trip%20-%208th%20August/IMG_0269.jpg. Thanks for the comments on the car anyway, it is a real beauty, although it has been a labour of love for both me & the PO. I just did a full engine rebuild, so it should be good for another 40 years!

Love the last two. Clean, tastefully modded, and attainable.

you know, i had seen that shot before but didn’t care much for the flares! this is a personal preference— for example, nor do i love the widebody GTAm giulia coupes.

….I might add that I have a soft spot for that Peugeot 205gti, as I had one of those about 15 years ago also! Funnest car I ever owned, bar none!! I traded it in on a MY99 WRX & regretted it from day one. Now that was the most OVERRATED car in standard spec… IMHO… 😉

The 505 wins…on account of rarity. (Modifying one is incredibly difficult)

I need to know what color is on that (997?) with the bonnet up. The off white/beige’ish color. My wife would love that on her cabby!
