That's because they're enormous fun on Sunday mornings, right up until the time when you show you're mortal, and let up a fraction in a turn. Then, they turn on you like a mother wolverine guarding her young. if you're lucky, the mishap only involves dry cleaning, but come Monday, you phone up the local paper, and the car shows up in Tuesday's classified ads.  |
Hehe, yep. We used to joke about waiting near the big sweep in the McClure tunnel (where the 10 turns into the PCH in Santa Monica) after a slight drizzle and buy 911s on the cheap from the doctor/dentist/lawyer/TV exec sitting on the rail with his face in his hands shaking his head.
I'm surprised how many people here say they'd like a 930 based on how it looks. Obviously they've never driven one.
Porsche had its first product liability lawsuits from fatalities with the 930 by unknowing owners. Rear engine, RWD, lots of power, turbo lag, no electronic nannies, and a shorter wheelbase. Part of the reason they went to AWD on the Turbos after that.
Unless you really take the time to learn the car (in a safe track environment) it could end up being your coffin......
