It SOUNDED loud, and rumbled I couldn't believe it, it sounded more like a corvette or 60's mustang or a Harley than a Porsche. It handled like a go-cart. The 915 was pretty tricky
shifting in 1st and 2nd (but didnt pop out of gear) and I had to learn to
bring the clutch out farther than I am used to on my bimmer. But alas,
this is what I thought a Porsche SHOULD drive like and feel like on the throttle.... life is good, now I just have to try to buy this car...

good to hear you foudn what you were after!
i 100% agree, i started looking at 3.2 G50 cars and i'm not sue if the gearing is different but they all felt sluggish and lazy. would need some mods to wake them up. also preferred a lighter 3.0 915 car, not quite as tractable for long trips etc but much more lively.
ended up in a stripped '78 Sc with a 3.6
