Talking Drove a 968 Turbo Cab today...

Wow! I actually got to drive a 968 turbo today. Yes thats right. . .A US 968 Turbo! It currently holds claim to the first US 968 Turbo non-professionally built! 3.0L 16V the real deal...You get the idea!!!

I don't want to divulge the owner of this beast for now, we'll just say he's almost family I've been the only driver other than the owner since it's been finished. Anyway, if i drove that car all the time i'd have wrinkles from smiling all the time, it was that much fun just driving around the streets.

I just had to post this, I'll post pictures sometime in the next week and a half when i get the OK from the owner.

Looks like there's two lucky people. Today I drove an extensively modified 944S with a 968 motor. Coil overs, MAF, cams, LSD, the works.

You all stink... jeesh, well I'll start posting about the racecars I drive this summer later on, so there!

...I want to drive these things though, lol, I'm still jealous (now twice as much!)

Now both of you need to post pics of these cars (owner's permission allowing, of course)

Damian - Well at least one is up and running, not sure about the other. But i'm sure it will be within the next week! Look forward to meeting you and checking out that sweet cab of yours!

Luis - Turbo cabs are really fun! I went from only driving NA's yesterday morning to stepping up to the beast of a 968 Turbo Cab by the end of the day. I have to ask you: How do you keep the smile off your face when you are driving? I feel like the open top would just make it worse? I'd get tan lines from smiling so much! My 924S is fun. . .but no where near this much fun.

Pictures will be posted after Hershey!
Later!
Erich
