well here in a couple months i will be purchasing my dream car, which would be my first pcar to own. It's a 78 SC with the 930 body kit. I have always loved these cars my entire life, but was never able to afford them, so until now i have had to go with my cheaper german friend VW.

Heres my current car:

2001 GTI VR-6 Turbo pushin 400whp.

My old VW was:

2001 Jetta Wolfsburg with Votex body kit and chipped.


I'm selling the 400whp beast to buy a 96 vw jetta to go along with my soon to be SC.

What all did you guys drive before your pcar?

also, i have searched the internet to see about turboing my sc further down the road, but cant really find any info on it. anyone have any links to vendors so i can check prices on the kits and all?

Thanks again guys, i cant wait to join this group, I used to work at Dumont Porsche here in Oklahoma City, it was like going to heaven everyday at work!

I drove my ex wife around for a while...... then I turbo'd the 3.2
