He had the factory deliver him a brand new 911 SC and after Tech was done, he set off to California down Rt-66. When he returned he called the engineers responsible for the AC system into his office. He said he had a project for them. He sent them to Oklahoma and said drive west on R-66 and when you get back report back to me. They were thrilled of course. Then they reported back to the boss. They said, sir the AC system in the 911 really is quite poor. And Peter said, yes it is, fix that!
It was too late for the Carrera and all they managed to do was improve the vent sizes by 1986 and change the fan housing. It was not until the 964 that the AC became adequate.

That's a cool story that I hadn't previously heard.
