The car will run circles around the 82 SC coupe I bought when I sold it. The reason I got rid of it was it became just another car in normal everyday driving - unless you stood on it! Rocket launches w/o a feeling of engagement with the vehicle in other driving modes wear thin pretty quick.
It handled well (so do the fatso waterpumper Porsches), but I don't regret for a second "trading down" to an old SC. Even in traffic I at least have the sensation of being under the yellow, just waiting for the green.
ALL driving is fun again in an older Porsche!

BINGO!!! I only put 15K on my 99 hardtop before trading it in. It was a good car and nice to look at but after driving a 93 RX-7 I got bored real fast. I only wish I had bought a Porsche much earlier.
