[Porsche-O-Phile]

I would not EVER recommend a GM f-body car to anyone who values their sanity. I owned two in my youth (a Camaro and a Firebird). They both looked cool but were heavy, woefully underpowered (yea they CAN be made fast for $$$) and handled poorly. They had rust, rust and more rust. I think they came from the factory pre-rusted. Panels, frame sections, structural pieces, tie rods, you-name-it. They all rusted. Badly. I wouldn’t waste my time. Build quality is “iffy”.

A 951 can be made fast for relatively short money but they’re finicky. Check the fuel lines and don’t use gas with ethanol in it. It likes to disintegrate the fuel lines from the inside out (ask me how I know). I do have an affinity for the cars.

If I was in the market for a “fun car” I’d consider an S2 cabriolet or a 968. Both very cool looking and timeless - and more reliable than a 951, albeit not as fast (rare-as-hens-teeth 968 turbos excepted).
