I had the pleasure of instructing in a dead stock '80 SC. Besides the stock seats offering no support, I was amazed at how well that 3 liter did out there. I was impressed with how it went and performed. Just wanted to share!

I have been DEing my stock '85 Carrera for many years now. It has been a great car to learn on, just enough power, no driver aids, you learn to work the car with the steering wheel and your right foot.

Cool. Really a stock SC/Carrera is a fine car, and can really be quick with modest mods.

I was thinking of buying a 911 SC For DE, and was hoping it wouldn't be too slow. Have the pleasure to drive many 2007 and 2010 911 GT3's on the track (client cars) but want a car I can DE on my own and unfortunatly dont have GT3 cash available.

Jay Gratton

GT3's make bad drivers look good. It takes a really good driver in my opinion to fly in a SC in my opinion.

Amen Brother! Drive a longhood, SC or Carrera well and you can jump into almost any other car and drive that well -

I love instructing on the earlier cars (pre 1989) cause I can feel what the car is doing.

Agreed. I was at Sears Point last Friday watching Johannes Van Overbeek lap in his father's Spec911. He was turning laps in the mid 1.40's by my timing.

For comparison, the top competitors who raced over the weekend in the class were qualifying and turning fastest race lap times in the low 1.50's.

I like it, I drive my 86 carrera very well, it's just too clean to track it. Want a true track car (roll cage etc)

Jay Gratton

I have a 924S track car for you with a DE set up and is caged for you then! I know it isn't a 911, but nice starting track car.

I'll throw in an Hallelujah!

As I drive flatout, my lap times are identical regardless of car: GT3, SC, Miata, Ford escort...I reach terminal velocity I'm so fast.

I have this same problem! Looked for over a year to find the perfect 911 for me...my first...and now want to track it, but it's too nice! What a conundrum!

rusnak

LOL!

Ed Hughes

A little track time never hurt any 911. To the contrary.

And with such products as the temporary wraps available, minimal risk. No worse than a public road, IMO.
