What do you HATE most about your 911?
 
Winters in Michigan, can not DRIVE!!!!

Its an old car, always will be, so it's not as quiet as a new one, and the radio isn't as nice, and the vent system is bad, and I have to let it warm up and I'm always worried where I parked... the list goes on. Still heavily outweighed by what I love about it though!

It's not mine anymore, and that's not because I replaced it with another one.

But, when I had it, hmm. I guess the worst thing about my 911 was the fact that parts for it cost more that an old chevy. If they were that cheap (ignoring the fact that more people would have them and all of that stuff) I'd still have it.

Granted, I had an '88, but the sound wasn't bad, actually I wanted it louder; the radio was ok, could have been better, but not bad; the vent system/AC/heat worked fine, I suppose the AC could have been better, but before I sold the car it was pretty darn good since it wasn't leaking and the fan was running well; I didn't worry too much about parking it. Actually there was nothing that I hated about my '88 targa. All of the things that I might have changed were minor, and like I said, were only a problem because when I bought the car about 7 months later I got laid off when the dot com went to crap and never fully recovered.

No air conditioning.

My clutch pedal. Before rebuilding the pedal assy and replacing the cable, the pedal was so stiff that my foot would be slightly sore after a day's run. I've adjusted the cable twice now and it still doesn't feel as I think it should. Either stiff or too much play. I just can't seem to dial it in to my liking. Oh yeah, not having A/C sucks too but I'd rather spend the $ on something else like new suspension this winter.

The amount of money it takes to keep it going and keep yourself happy with the occassional modification.

slater 10-15-2004 05:51 PM

$$$$! The price of parts gets to me sometimes.. but thats when I end up getting to my most imaginative and start making stuff.

The 915, especially when it's cold.

lally911 10-15-2004 06:09 PM

leaks - first the sunroof, now the passenger door.

North Eastern Winters:(

Rob Channell 10-15-2004 06:14 PM

I hate that I don't get enough track time......

:(

I'll still drive it this winter until it gets down into the 20's. No heater........burr.

Buncha whiners complaining about winter weather although it does get a lot colder in the North...........I bet most of you still have heaters. :D

mr.bch 10-15-2004 06:15 PM

jmarenas... you pegged it, altough you need to expand.

Michigan winters force it to be parked...
Michigan summers hammer the car cuz our roads are the worst in the nation.

Archaic HVAC controls and stone chips!!

bob tilton 10-15-2004 06:24 PM

I totally agree.

Forgot to say the clutch smell, if you attempt a burnout or accidentally attempt a burnout.

I have an 84 Targa and completely redid the a/c over the last few weeks, and it works pretty well. Not as good as my jap cars, but pretty good. Depending on what a/c parts you have, it cost me under $500 and filled it up with R134a. I have a friend who stuck 134a in his SC and it cools pretty well, no other modifications. Cost was like $15.00

I hate that it makes me smile so much, and forget how much money I'm investing in it. I love the fact that it makes my wife smile as well, which eliminates that annoying whine from the passenger seat.

Randy Webb 10-15-2004 07:23 PM

1. The fact that it is Guards Red - I will change that to Gemini Blue when I can.
2. The fact that it doesn't run....
3. It's too heavy.
4. Too much wind noise.

cowtown 10-15-2004 07:28 PM

I hate that it prevents me from enjoying any other type of car. I'm a Porsche fanatic, rather than a car fanatic. I skip over Ferrari reviews in Car&Driver. I program my Tivo to record 911 Supercup races. I admire sports cars that can blow my 911's doors off, then remind myself that I wouldn't be happy with one.

:(:D
