My old car (1972 "RS") was exactly what I wanted when I built it in 1990, excellent track OK street car. I have been a PCA instructor for 20+ years.
But things change, now I have some medical problems that are curtailing track events so I decided to get a fun street car. The 996 cab is all of that!
The 1972 driving experience was a little more raw. 2400 lbs 240hp and modified suspension made for a very responsive sharp edged drive. The 996 @ 3200lbs and 320hp has close to the same power to weight with a softer edge and TORQUE. I love to ride with the top down and the heat on in our 50 degree days and I look forward to the AIR conditioning on the hotter days of summer.
My 2003 has the dreaded RMS leak. I got it at a high end resallers shop. They are going to replace the RMS and repair a couple of little odds and ends.
