I totally agree. The visceral feedback from an air cooled 911 is amazing, and the handling/braking package coupled with these torquey flat-sixes! I've never enjoyed a car as much!

I've just had my 5 year anniversary with my '82 SC. I think about it and driving it all the time. It ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

I measure new cars by: how many SCs could I get for that $

I cooked my Shorai in one track weekend. Was told the LS1 alternator amps are too hight for it. I tried it because a friend had one in his M3 for 9 months, but his is toast now also.

Anyone using a Braile Racing battery? My Red Top just died after 5 years of deep cycling and track use... not bad really. But, its pretty huge and I'd like something lighter and smaller.

Any issues with the Shuriken battery dying after long intervals of not driving (2-3 weeks)? This battery looks good, good cranking amps, and great price, just want to make sure it can take sitting around unused for a bit.
