I was told that there were a bunch of morons on this site that were slamming me and the car that I had listed on Ebay. I found this to be true..
PWD72S with 13,500 posts..This guy needs to get a life!
Lets review the facts.
I am no Poser...
1) I have owned, driven and raced over 500 early Porsches! (550RS, Carrera GT Speedster, Carrera 2 Cabriolet, plus hundreds of other 356 and early 911s) I also owned and raced vintage Ferraris and I owned and RACED an original 427 COBRA (CSX 3127) for over 15 years.
2) I have been a professional precission driver for the past 30 years. I drove the 993 Prototype #2 for the Porsche Factory in their Video that was shown at the International Auto Shows when the 993 was introduced. I recently drove and did slides in the new Shelby GT500 Prototype for Ford. I regularly get paid more to drive a car for one day then many people make in a month. I am either very qualified or the major car companies just toss the keys of their multi-million dollar prototypes to the first person who shows up. NOT!
3) I can easily prove everything posted in my Ebay ad and herein with Photos, Chassis numbers, Canceled checks, Contracts Etc.
How many of the people that have called me a POSER have had even 10% of the hands on experience with Vintage cars that I have. Step up lets talk...
I also cant believe that some of you guys are that stupid that you would quote magazine articles as your source of information..
"Car and Driver" Thats VERY FUNNY!..
Some of us have actually driven these rare cars flat out in anger and dont just read about it. Robin Williams said in the movie "Good Will Hunting" ... "I know that you can tell me every detail about the Sistene Chapel from what you read in some book. "But can you tell me what it smells like to actually be there?" Reading about going 175 mph in a 427 Cobra Aint the same as hearing the roar and feeling the rushing wind...
I am more then willing to put my money where my mouth is! For those man enough to step up..
I offer to clip a $100 bill to the sunvisor of the 1973 911S as I shift through the first 3 gears at over 8,500RPM if the engine does not pull to 8,500 RPM the $100 is yours!... Of course I will expect that you guys are man enough to match the offer and if the engine does pull 8,500 then I get your $100. I offer to do this for 10 different people to prove it is no trick and that the engine will perform exactly as I represent.
I will also do speed runs with a GPS to verify that the Speedo is accurate (within 2-3 MPH at 80 MPH). If it is I will also get $100 right?
To also prove what I have said about this car I have numerous witnesses. Tony from TLG Porsche was sitting in the car when we were racing a number of other Porsches on a very long stretch in the Mojave Desert. The speedo showed 168MPH.. Dave from TRE Porsche was also there in the pack of untra high speed lunatics.
Chuck Miller from the 911S registry is a great driver. He recently built a monster 2.7RS motor for his 1973 911S coupe. On New Years Day 2006 I pulled from behind and passed him. Remember I am in a Targa with air conditioning (Weighs more and not as slippery).
To the idiot that said his 911T would pull 8,500 RPM.... Once!....
That is a 911T moron not a high compression, ported, balanced, 2.4 "S" or possibly a 2.5 ST?
Any of you Guys want to bring out your 3.3 930s and run 0-90.. Dont forget to bring your $$$
Porsche builds a very strong engine and sets the Redline at a very conservative number. I used to race 356 porsches with a 6,000 Redline on the Tach. I would constantly shift at over 8,500 RPM (2,500 RPM over Redline) and I never had an engine or trans failure in over 50 races. Granted these engines were balanced and ported but basically they were stock off the shelf Porsche parts!
So you guys should go back to your books and magazines and bench race again.. Let us all know how fast you are and be careful dont hurt yourself or your cars.
I think that Car and Driver has a new issue out this week.. Better hurry..
Oh yeah.. I have worked with Tom Cruise and he used our car in the last Vanity Fair Magazine..
