Maybe a 916 clone or Beck Spyder.

But pleased to have the SC for now.

80 SC Targa

Dreamin'
 
Gee.........only one comes to mind, same car for the last how many years, one ride in Monty Sheltons 906 back in 1968 or 69.

Heck, I would get rid of the 911 for a 906. Go figure?

PS..........a Kurtis Kraft / Offy midget would take me back to the other side of my vivid childhood racin' memorys.

Cayenne turbo.

...A 2000 996 Carrera 2 Coupe in silver would be nice...

928! That's what I have, and I love it. They can be very costly to own if you buy one with issues. But if you pay a little premium and get one that's been well cared for and in great shape, it will be a very rewarding car to have and maintenance will be quite reasonable. The GTS is going to cost a bundle, but you can pick up a great S4 for about the price of a G50 Carrera. Since I bought my 928, the 911 has gotten less attention. It's very addicting and will blow the doors off a 911 of the same vintage, even in the corners. It has a much better power/weight ratio and 50/50 weight distribution. And it's comfy!

I'm pretty happy with the SC, it's a lot of bang for the buck.
But if I wanted another type of thrill it would probably be a Street Rod / Muscle car for variety.

Well the midyear 911 kind of lacks civility and comfort. The miata can be described in the same way no? So I would recommend a car that has even less civility and comfort than the midyear. Something exotic and racy. Early turbo? Replica 550/904/RS?

Steve87-911 07-12-2005 07:02 PM

993 coupe. But then how to decide which to drive?

plymouthcolt 07-12-2005 07:19 PM

A red 930 with a G50--ahhhhh nirvana!

Drdogface 07-12-2005 07:20 PM

Original Speedster or even an '89 Speedster.

Sammy, were you kidding about a Cayenne ??? Each his own...I guess

I'm with Zeke on this one.

-or-

Trade your cab for a newer Boxster, then pick up an early coupe...maybe a lightweight something with a powerful motor and...

Well, you get the idea.

For me it would be a 993 C4s so I could extend the 911 experience beyond non-rainy days between May & November. Plus I just love that wide bottom.

or

a 993 Targa as I love the practicality of the rear hatch and I could still use it year round with the exception of a few days when the roads are just to slippery to risk it.


INHO the 993 is the best looking post impact bumper 911; and it's still air-cooled

If we're just dreaming and going all hypothetical here, I'd love to have an original 935 for a track car. Nice big old twin turbo with the original whale tail.

Nice and big, raw, and unrefined... kind of like me. ;)

I have a 72 with a 3.2, tricked suspension and brakes with rs flares, some 9" rears and 7" front tires. It's an absolute gas to drive, on and off the track. If I was to pruchase a second car it would be a cab, maybe a boxster.

Rich76_911s 07-13-2005 07:21 AM

I'd like a cayman or a boxter, for dependability during the times when the SC is not running up to par. Not sure which I would have, Like the convertable but the with some modifications I think the cayman might have more potential?

Can you see the common theme here?

An early 911, 930, or a Boxster were all considerations of mine but I opted for a 914. My 911 is mostly stock and I wanted a car I could continually tweek that would not cost a lot. A turbo fit the "continually tweeking" category, but was not in the budget. A 914 is a good option on a limited budget and has endless upgrade opportunities - and they are getting pretty rare.

Here is my latest project ...

A 962 would compliment anything nicely!

donstevens 07-13-2005 01:15 PM

If we are talking a daily driver, a Cayman might be nice.

Track car - a 74 RSR or a clone with a 3.6 would be fine. Plus an aluminum trailer, plus a diesel dually tow vehicle, spares, and more importantly a suitcase full of $100 bills so I could afford to take it out to the track!!!!!!

First of all, I need a bigger garage because mine is only a two - holer and my wife won't park her BMW outside. That aside, I'm thinking a late 996 coupe, black or dark metallic blue, as the daily driver to compliment my beautiful black cab.

My Tahoe would probably have to be used as a down payment though.

Believe it or not, I'm actually thinking about it...maybe in a year or two.
