[oldE]

Is there much difference between a long hood with modern engine, suspension and gearbox and Yellowperil's hot rod?
The sticking point for many of us may be that we remember how nicely the early 911s drove in stock form. "Improving " such an automotive jewel loses the essence of its purpose while making it more capable.
I didn't acquire my old E until 2000, but, after getting the suspension back to where it belonged, ( either the rear torsion bars had sagged or some idiot lowered it so the heat exchangers could drag at times), I was struck by how perfect the set up was for real roads with pot holes, frost heaves, ruts and camber changes. Altering a functioning device seeking an improvement in some area usually degrades some other aspect of function.
