I'm sure my '71S was near that figure, but, alas, it only had 5 digits.

Or it could be the car in his signature line, a 1986 Targa.

If 911SCs "run forever", than a Carrera should run at least twice as long with its improvements.

And if you remove some of those "improvements" like the leaky fuel system, crummy valve guides and finicky sensors and relays, they should run 4X as long. IOW, it don't get any better than a 3.2 with PMO's and SSI's.

Well, maybe a pre OBDII 3.6 with same.

Your engine is almost broken in now!

I only have 145,000 on my 911.

Cool, but I'd like to see the speedo at about 135 mph when I go across that line!

Still a few miles to go on the 993!
