Nick Murray Is About To Upset Every GT3 Owner
About this episode
The provided transcript doesn’t include the actual Porsche discussion—just ad reads and podcast promos. It opens with a thriller-style Apple TV spot for Cape Fear, then shifts into an Acast recommendation for History of the 90s, highlighting major cultural shifts like the internet boom, reality TV, grunge, and the fall of communism. There’s no mention of Nick Murray, GT3s, or Porsche-specific topics in the text supplied.
Nick Murray joins ElevenAfterNine for a conversation about what's actually worth owning in the Porsche lineup right now — and his answer just might ruffle some feathers in the GT3 community.
We get into the Lemon Law saga that put Nick on the map, why most first-time buyers over-spec their cars, the options that are a complete waste of money (PDCC, we're looking at you), and why Nick says he'd sell a free GT3 to buy something he'd actually drive. Plus: why the current Carrera T might be the most complete 911 Porsche makes, the truth about the understated horsepower numbers on the turbocharged cars, and a 993 cabriolet love letter that'll make you rethink the "coupes only" crowd.
This one's for people who drive their cars.
