On the other hand, It is only after you are out of the 930 that your brain catches up and debriefs the rest of you on what just happened while you where driving, it ravishes you.
I'm still learning the limits of the 930 and am approaching them carefully, on the other hand I have by now explored fully the driving rewards of the 911's chassis and it's predictability. If anything, I feel short of power now on the 911, but that can be remedied. I don't think a long-hood is about speed but the pleasurable sensation of speed, however I know that with the proper chassis preparation, one of this 40 year old cars can easily handle twice the power without loosing their character so that's probably where I'm going with it.
They are so different and so incredible at the same time, I don't think I could live on without one or the other, so I'm keeping both.
I can't have two wives, one for long passionate love and another for brutally ravishing encounters, but I sure as well can have and enjoy this two wonderfully different machines.

Porsche should hire you to write promotional material! The red 930 is very classic-looking, but I agree that Fuchs would suit it better. Now that you are two cars deep, there is clearly no going back. As they say around here... enjoy the addiction.
