Can I come play too Steve? I've got no turbo... But my suspension helps me hold the speed up.

That's not a Turbo either...

Gotta love a Porsche. Whip it all weekend, and expect it to drive you and the spare parts home!

Oh damn...after selling this, I should have bought a superior and highly sought after 944! LOL!



944 Auto-X phreaks, kindly go to the SCCA solo championships...if your times beat the Mustang times of a guy named Sam Strano, I'll admit you're fairly quick. At least we'd be comparing auto-X set ups....

That's a game I haven't played since being the 1970 A stock co-champ..the WOW (western Oregon & Washington) series. In a 1970 911T. Got tired of spending every Sunday in a hot parking lot...

The point was to beat YOU in YOUR Mustang on the big boy track. LOL (no offense to AXers!)






At least if you had a 944, the PCA might still let you hang around. Of course my region lets Mustangs in these days, the economy is kinda bad and they need a way to test the tow truck.

On street tires, box stock against race prepped on slicks...Yeah, that sounds fair.

How 'bout you play this guy in a race to 100, 10 ball...each player put up $10,000?
Just as fair, right?



BTW, PCA asked me to remain despite no Porsche...they like those dues payments.

Backpedal much? You said "well prepared 944". What did you think that meant?

Just no denying "facts" as presented on a posting board. After selling my 911, I just shoulda bought a far superior 944...
