You know I went into this with the idea that a '73 Targa could reach 165 mph. I went into this with the idea that it'd be a nice car to have - not for me - but for someone else. I went into this with the idea that you
might be straight up.
But as things have developed I now see you as one of the worst examples of Porsche ownership I have ever encountered.
I was thinking about your car this morning, and going through my mind how I could possibly support your claim via gearing, tire diameter, and all else. Even after you refused to reveal the car to me on my half-day off unless I gave you $100 - mine or someone else's - if the car achieved 8,500 RPM, I still thought you were treated unfairly and should be given the benefit of the doubt. I even researched online some race car and specialty car sites on which you could present your car, hopeful that you'd have better luck there than on Ebay.
But car aside, your attitude is such an abomination that even after my thoughts, research, and furthermore, the possibility I might know several people interested in a 1973 Targa, I would not in any way give you that information simply based on your callous, defensive/offensive assinine behavior to not just myself, but honored members of Pelican who have spent huge amounts of energy with cars like yours. You, in fact, are the type of owner who gives a horrible reputation to Porsche ownership and car enthusiasm in general. I've seen better behavior on anything from Miata to Ferrari boards.
If you want to call me a poser, fine. I still have $100 bucks which surely won't go toward a sucker's bet such as what you reposted this to be. I could even buy your car right at this moment, strip the thing clean, take the gearbox, pick apart the mystery engine, and sell off the rest, but aura plays its role here, and yours is awful. So your car, dutifully observed, is probably awful as well. At this juncture, I'd rather spend my $100 on a track day where gentleman drive respected cars - not pieced together overpriced jalopies that are given claims that someone has to pay for to experience.
You're a joke, execMalibu. I'm surprised you're even in Malibu - as the place does have some class - not much, but some.
In the end, the only benefit from my involvement in this thread is that I've learned how not to behave if and when I want to sell my car.
Gearing, engine hp., top speed, while all very interesting, give this thread only the slightest amount of legitimacy. Otherwise, what's written here is nothing more than mean-spirited and demeaning language - most of that coming from you.
