Old, slow and heavy as it is in stock condition (barely knocking off zero-60 in six and hardly able to get out of its own way enroute to 163mph) I still look back at least once each time I park it. In spite of what I do the resale value continues to rise. And in spite of what others think, a good example from the era is vastly overbuilt and very hard to break. I don't know who fixes modern rice burners but my daughter and I can tune a 911, drop an engine, strip an exhaust or knock out a valve lash adjustment in a few hours. And she works cheaper than the dealership! https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-z...0/P1020116.JPG |

Love your Porsche! Maybe someday, many years down the road, for me... In the meantime I love my 98 BMW M Roadster - at least during the summer ;) No pics. It's black. Use your imagination / google. I can handle some of the ricers for you and then we can have a cigar. |

Is that a sandblaster in the background?

Comparing new technology to old technology is an apples to orange comparison. So many cars have 300+ hp these days, that alone does not make it a sports car, let alone an iconic one at that. 20 years from now, the Porsche will still be a highly sought after collectible. That Infiniti (and 99% of all cars for that matter) will probably be driven by a high school kid who saved his paper route money and bought his first car. |

Re: Sports Cars, Muscle Cars and Customs!
thank you. It was fun when it was all dolled up. 15" Brembos, full adjustable suspension, 4.10 diff, cams, software, Ti exhaust, etc.

I hope it works out well for you. I know taxes in that region can be 100%, but it sounds like your wife knows the right people. Would love to hear how it all plays out. |

In to the paint shop in March:
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-q...151716_059.jpg Over to wet sanding: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3...ked%252001.jpg ...and across to the Outer Banks three weeks later: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-e...401_202525.JPG Previous owner(s) in Texas and Oklahoma buffed and burned, right down to primer in some places. Too bad the original paint wasn't salvageable. Oh well - it's a clearcoated piece of steel now. Huge improvement. |
