Porsche made it a point to not increase the size of the engines in 911s unless they could increase the fuel efficiency.

There were a couple of full throttle blasts to mid triple digits in Atlanta. I had a guy shadowing me in a Acura TL. I do not mind someone following me to make use of my V-1. What bothers me is when they are too stupid to do it correctly. He was anticipating my moves too early and we kept getting tangled up. After about 2 of those I had enough and punched it. Put some serious distance between us and then my road change came and I never saw him again.
I also got stuck in 2 seperate bumper to bumper crawls for about 10-15 minutes each.
I know this car has been gone through and most everything in it is fresh but, its still a 26 year old car and I love the fact I can jump in it and drive over 700 miles without reservation.
