One great thing about the long history of the 911, it can be made into about anything one can want from a total track whore, to a plush comfortable highway cruiser.

I understand the fun of a track only car, if you have the money to store it at a race track like Eagles Canyon, in Texas, or other private tracks.

I went the other way. I really like driving comfortably in all temperatures, and having my wife ride with me to multiple states and destinations.

My 85 Carrera is 2,700 pounds. The heater is insane efficient and all factory stock. My AC will make me cold while driving due west in a late afternoon in 100+ degree heat and high humidity, with the sun shining on my chest. The stereo is totally sufficient for a noisy car.

It is still a blast to drive on track, but I will never win a race against any modern Porsche, or a track modified 911 G body, but I have just as much fun on track. Then I get in it, and drive it home in total comfort.

The car on the OP is insane. No seat belts and structural parts drilled is insane, but as my friend often says, not my pig, not my farm. It is his car, not mine.
