Just some observations

After finally getting my RS impostor on the road and driving it bit I noticed a few things. First off obviously is the weight vs. my 88 Carrera. In the "Green car" everything is much more direct, steering feel, suspension movement(stock on both).

Next, engine performance. While I can not knock the Carrera's efi and it's advantages, I am amazed at how much more responsive the 3.0 cis(only mod is M&K sport) is in the "Impostor". I mean this thing literally begs for me to wring it's neck at every opportunity, throttle response is insane. The Carrera by comparison feels sluggish(Steve W. chip, Dansk 1 in 2 out).
I do love the G50 though, as the 915 in the RS is in need of a rebuild.

As such, I find myself wondering if I should just sell the '88 Don't get me wrong, I love the car and often find myself peeking out the window of my apt. because it's such a nice looking car. But what I built in the RS is more what I expect from a Porsche. Pure driving feedback, adrenaline rushing fun.

Thanks to all that answered my dumb questions and gave me encouragement and inspiration in the past 5 years it took me to put the RS together.
