Damn was someone running that car in an off road rally? I don't think I have ever seen a 911 jacked up so high!

Petrol Blue Metallic has always been one of my favorites.
That does look like the factory US reg ride height. . . .talk about an untouched, OE-look car!

Beautiful color. I think your daughter is trying to tell you something in the last picture, where she's sitting on the bumper: "Lower the car, Daddy!"

It looks to me like she is saying "Daddy look, I climbed all the way up her all by myself".
Is this really the stock ride height? Simply seems wrong. And congratulations on the car. Looks fab.

Wow, I find it hard to believe thats the original US ride hight, but I guess thats just how they came. BTW great color choice, it's one of my favorites too.

The 911 Look's great Adam and your little girl does too.
I think the 911 was just standing tall for the picture ![]() |

OK, man this board is brutal....part of the problem is that my driveway is actually on a pretty severe downward angle so that the front end almost looks like its pulling up a bit. I compensated with the angle of the camera so that it looks flatter.....Its at US ride height, going lower shortly! Thanks for the photoshop Max and the complements..

Hey, I didn't know the Cayenne had a targa option. Opps, sorry about that. Nice car.

ha! anyway also island the car is almost completely original very few upgrades other then the standards with only 55,000 miles when I bought it, that was what really attracted me to it, almost a blank slate waiting for the fun stuff.
Unfortunately during the first year of ownership it required quite a bit of routine fixes that added up to one somewhat frustrated wife and a drained p-car fund for the year so next spring check back for some updated pics, in the meantime the fun just never ceases with these awesome machines....

All you need is a racoon tail on the antenna, some mudflaps and a bumper sticker saying "I love mud boggin!!", and you would be set! Just kidding man, I have an 82 Targa, (lowered thankfully) but very, very original. I like it that way kind of a time warp!

Hey that looks just like my 78! Ride height and all. I bought mine with around 140k on the odometer and it is still that high, haven't had time to lower the car yet...

Hey, if you want to make fun of ride height you'll think Adam's is sensible compared to mine. I just replaced the rear shocks, and now it rides at least a half inch higher than stock US height. When I have the time I will lower it, but for now....
