Chris Wilson Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I don't like them, they are technically a total abortion, but I have to say, should one be thrust upon me, this is the one I would want and it's from http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=20751 where there's a stunning high definition picture of this beauty and the full story.

adnanshah247 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 dont like it at all, now this is what you call a 911:- http://www.0-60mag.com/online/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sportec_spr1_t80_porsche_911_turbo_006-0701-950x650.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I don't like them, they are technically a total abortion. Not a bad car considering where the engine is, i take it this is why you refer to it as an abortion, they're reliable, usable, supercar quick, handle well considering the potential pendulum effect, i would rather a 911 over a Ferrari, but thats just me It's not bad as 911's go i prefer Adnanshah's pic though.

mwilkinson Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Sorry which one is the older one, I can't tell the difference? Does Porsche have a design team or have they just used the same chassis year in, year out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Best car I have ever driven, been utterly reliable, turns heads when I go out (yes they're aren't as common up North), performance and handling that mean you need a tasty machine to embarrass you in any way, in summary, does exactly what it says on the tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 turns heads when I go out (yes they're aren't as common up North), Actually, this has surprised me about mine. It gets a lot of attention, much more than the 964 and more than my Supra ever did. Considering how many 996s there are about (and that most people wouldn't notice the difference between that and the turbo) I didn't expect it. Mind you - mine doesn't currently seem to be quite as reliable as yours - there is some evidence it might be losing coolant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rads at the front gather leaves etc, they corrode I believe unless you keep ontop of them, keep any debris away from them (and the AC rads), Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The rads at the front gather leaves etc, they corrode I believe unless you keep ontop of them, keep any debris away from them (and the AC rads), I know, and it's where I assume it's probably leaking from. Although I've also been told rad caps are known to leak, and that the coolant cap can (and even that there was a modified part). I'm going to top up one more time - assuming the level goes down again it will go back to the dealer. They are excellent - I've already told them about it, and they will sort it. The next time I buy a car, they will be the first place I shop (assuming it's a Merc or Porsche since that's all they sell). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
