    the 997 turbo is good, i would rather have a true RWD beast the 997 is AWD but it's rear wheel biased.

    can i interest you in a Porsche GT2? that's turbo and 1/3 the calories of a 997 awd :)

    Yep, bummer they chased them out of there. She lives in Corona Del Mar so I see that car a couple times a month. Her head is missing in my pic, she was one of the few that still got on it when leaving, the NB Police are total buzz killers.

    Those where always known as the "Poor mans" Porsche.... oh well its still a Porsche!!

    We had a family friend that built up a sick 914 widebody with some insane engine in it... Its been years so I dont recall all the specs...


    There is another video out somewhere of a guy with a red GT doing the same upgrade. Its friggin insane to see him race next to a crotch rocket then stab the throttle and just blows him away!!!
