911 Towing

Can a 911 sc manual be flat towed without damaging transmission? Does it track well in turns? If so is there a tow bar and bumper/frame attachments ever been made for 911?

I would only have mine towed with a flat bed. But that's just me

With the price going up on these its worth it to get a real trailer or rent one.

Your question doesn't really make sense. I think your confusing a regular style tow truck with a flat bed tow truck. With a flat bed TT the entire car sits on the bed of the tow truck. This is the best way to transport a 911 short of a covered trailer.

I have towed an SC on its four wheels for many years with no problem. I constructed a typical "A" from tow bar attached to the left and right front suspension brackets. Trick is to have tow bar as near to and parallel with the road as practical.
