Know what makes me laugh about the 944 gauges? Look at the tach. There's just a small area of 'redline' then it goes back to normal. So I guess if you rev past that you'll be ok.

That's just where the engine gets really quiet...After the loud BANG of course.

Funny I hit my rev limiter yesterday in second gear while merging on the highway. I don't do that very often but it's noticable when it happens.

Yea, the S2 hitting the rev limited is umm...very noticeable in second. I have only ever hit it in second, never first. Kind of weird.

so my question for the cab owners - how much trouble ( and $$) has the cab been? Is the 968 top any different than the 44 top in operations, etc?

Any help appreciated
The tops is great except for the rear window and with the rear weight removal there is a 70lbs diff in weight with a coupe.

Yes, I've got the traffic light timing down quite good. Notice the tram rolling down the median.
