that's awful

I thought the white automatic N/A in my town with a Turbo badge on the wrong side on the back was bad.

>This car is a diamond in the rough. It runs and looks fine just not as spectacularly as it could with a little tender loving care from someone interested in taking on such a project.

Well maybe if you didn't pay for that **** on your car... Someone should buy it just so we can have it crushed.

Yep.. it is three gears of total awesomeness. I think someone described it as pretty much having 2nd 3rd and 5th on a manual. 0-60 in ~10 Seconds!!

I bet the owner takes that and tells people it's a "10 second car"

Too many haters on this board. This is clearly the car of a true sports car enthusiast who understands the need for and the proper application of downforce.

Just because this car doesn't meet your tastes doesn't mean that ...

... of **** it, I can't keep that bull**** up. +1 for crushing it.

Did you tell your boss that he's a Candy-*** if he's looking for an Auto transmission Porsche?*

*Note: Unless he's very elderly, it's for his wife, or he's disabled... any reason other than those 3, he's a candy ***.

i wouldn't go as far as crushing it. just bring it back to stock looks, i know a few people that love my car, but can't drive stick, and i sure as hell ain't gonna let em burn my clutch to teach em.

3 speed only. apparently the top gear is really bad for cruising and sucks for mileage. a friend of mine has an '89 with the 2.7 engine and an automatic and my 2.5 outran it because the gearing is better, even with less power.

You gotta wonder if you would feel like you were being followed all the time?

I always did in my STi. Goddam wing.
