Horsepower doesn't work well with lot of weight on the directional(pivoting) tires and none on the drive tires.
How about a rear engine FWD car?

last time i heard that it was from a 14 year old. though it may have been "28 year old puntange . . .. ;)

According to Websters, the proper spelling is 'poontang'.

They are every bit as much fun to drive as older cars. They just force you to confront the fact that one needs bigger cojones to get to the envelope, in which case they become even more fun than the old cars!

Nothing like a controlled drift at ton+ speeds. Downtown.

Keep the 993 and pick up a good old muscle car. That way depending on your mood, you can drive either one. Thats what I have done.

I sitll enjoying going to the Muscle Car shows...

Although my 66 Mustang is of the straight 6 variety (200 cubic inch) so i don't do any burnouts. It does have 3 one barrell Webers on it right now with a progressive linkage, I just wish I would finish it up so I could drive it again...

Yeah BigBPaintwhatever - except you didn't mention that poontang you are attracting isn't female.

Track it.

There are few things more fun than showing up at a track day that's packed with Vettes, Vipers and Mustangs. They're all very friendly guys, usually. And the new ones all love boasting about their cars -- the mods they've done, especially for more power.

By the end of the day, when they've been solidly schooled by a German car with less than half their thundering American horsepower, they'll come up with some priceless comments. "I've always thought of getting one of those 911's for the track," and "But that one's a Turbo, right?" come to mind.

Are we talking about cars or women here?

Sorry Jimbo, I didnt mean to turn you on. Geez you've been a member here since 2000, with 90 posts and I give you a hard on. Thanks for letting me know, however, your not my type!:cool:

Ya Jack I agree, no argument here. I cant afford to crash at high speeds and start over again. Screwin around with a little excelleration is what I miss. High speeds on the street involving an incident such as yours is one reason to switch breeds. Not to mention my insurance may be more likely to assist in a low speed incident as opposed to one at 150mph.

I am not taking a jab at you but I must defend my thinking. I do admire your tenacity but I dont envy your incured cost.:cool:

Ha! Both!

Brian, I thought you sold the 993. Whassup?

No luck yet. Its tucked away in storage for now. I did have a deal working with a dealer but I bowed out after realizing he was buying time, trying to sell the car and leading me on and low balling me at the same time. Spring is probably a better time to sell. Of course I am willing to part at any time.

I love the car but like most things with me, old hat comes quick!:cool:

Brian, it's probably a good idea that you don't track your car. Either DE or TT. Because you will become addicted, and you will spend all of your free time and them some, trying to figure out when you can get back on the track. Or when you're not trying to figure out how or when you will be back on the track, you will be justifing to your wife all the money you are spending on go- fast stuff, safety gear, brakes, etc.... ... and the list goes on:cool: .

Then, when you find yourself eating peanut butter & jelly sandwhiches, so you can save your money you would have spent on lunch to help finance all this track time, you know you're addicted.

Luckly, I'm not;) (yeah right)

Hey I'm glad you guys enjoy your cars the way you do. I have nothing negative to say about any of it. If I lived in a warmer climate I might feel different. But in reality I am freezing my nuts off, while my car sits in storage and I am paying $150.00 to insure and $140.00 to store each moth. If I could drive the car my attitude would be better.

But thats what we get for living in this suck climate. Well at least I have a ski-doo to pass the time. When spring comes, if I still have the car I am sure I will feel different about selling it. Business is picking up for me so I am no longer in panic mode.

Dont get me wrong fella's I still do think the 911 is the king of cars, that will never change.

Brian,

What works for me is having a few cars to choose from. I have a '78 911sc for fun, a 1991 Toyota mr2 turbo, highly modded for fun and the track, burnouts not a problem and super reliable even at 280 rwhp. And then a '98 Jeep Wrangler for a daily driver. But most of the time I just drive my mr2 because its fast.

For you the 4 cyl. turbo might not do it so a v-8 something might be better. Nice looking 993 by the way.
