b) on my...

I think that the S or S2 is a great choice. Yes, the costs of repairing/replacing a trashed cylinder head are astronomical, but if you follow the same preventive maintenance procedures for the cam...

What, MAS? How about a newer 911 Turbo, with 4.0 sec 0-60, 12.5-sec. 1/4 mile and 180 mph-plus top speed?

I run my '89 S2 with 1984-1988 911s (I believe these have the 3.2-liter engine) in PCA...

No symptoms at high revs. Other than the cold-start problem, the driveability was excellent, without any flat spots. Checked with my mechanic, and he said the fuel pump is in an indentation beneath...

Easy, Craig! Now you certainly have a right to post these claims, but we have an equal right to be skeptical about them. I mean, the whole thing about losing 70 lb. through "special bodywork"? I...

Six-second 0-60's with what, plug wires, a chip, a header and MAYBE 100 lb. less weight?
Smiles, everyone, smiles, because you've been spending some quality time with Mr. Roarke and Tattoo.

Nice wheels, Ribs. Are those gen-you-ine Porsche alloys or good copies? I've got the latter on my car...17" ones from Mille Miglia. I think they really update and modernize the car.

Better yet, race him on a bumpy road. Your IRS will hook up better than his heavy live axle that'll be skittering all over the place. Camaros are best on smooth roads.

Hi Craig,
Don't know 0-60 or quarter-mile for a newer V-6 Camaro, but I do know they weigh about 3300 lb. and have 200 bhp from 3.8 liters of good ol' Murican pushrod V-6. That's 16.5 lb/bhp....
