Beating up on poor defenseless ricers is fun. When it runs.

Everything. The power the brakes, the way it handles. I love everything, all the way down to the oil leaks!

Fro me, It has been a great experience.

Regards,

<<<the signature cloth sport seats>>>
Oh yes! They are hot! Everyone comments on them when they get in...
LSD is nice too!

Mostly the squeals from the girls that ride next to me!

My sport seats are vinyl for the bolsters and the inserts are signature cloth with "PORSCHE" going across the fabric on angles.

The "Hard" I call it.....
- Hard on the boost,
- Hard on the brakes
- Hard into the corners...making grown adults yell "Ho ****" entering a corner they just don't think they'll live through (not reckless, just HARD").

The sound is great, spool and Borla all in one, especially through underpasses, etc to amp the sound for me. My cars not that loud, funny how the common driver snaps their neck and scowls when they hear something other than their A/C running....

Last, taking someone for a drive, with THEM driving, and showing them how to work the controls and handle the car, encouraging them to understand concept of grip and how to use it/share it front/rear and side/side.

Giving them the ILLNESS we all have !

4200-7200 RPM.

I really like working on it, too.

Spending thousands on it so it will run for another 100 miles...and then doing it all over again.

Sounds more like "what do you hate about your turbo..."

I have no complaints about reliabilty, but I did rebuild the engine (myself) as soon as I got it. And I did lose the timing belt once, so I've had my share of trouble, but otherwise it's been a dream.

I like putting the right pedal down at 3000 rpm in fifth gear and watching all the other cars slow down then go backwards faster and faster.
