I just found out about this. Looks interesting. Any Southern Californians planning on attending?

For those of you on the prowl for a P-car, the website claims the "For Sale Corral will be one of the largest gatherings of new and used Porsches® for sale anywhere." Don't know if this is hype or real, but that's what they say.

A caravan would be fun! After we leave the show, we'll just keep heading up the coast through Big Sur .

You California guys and gals have it made -- this kind of ge together sounds like a ball. Have you ever seen anything similar in the frozen Northeast??

Randall G.

Hey Jeff,

The most recent issue of Excellence has an article on Porsche Parade 2001, held in Milwaukee. I know that's really the Midwest--not the Northeast--but aren't you in Michigan?

I am in Michigan -- that's a good option for me. One other question -- which will again show my relative inexperience but what does V Ram refer to? Is it something cheap I do to my engine and add a few hundred HP??

Hi Jeff,

Well, I'm afraid Porsche Parade 2001 has already passed you by. But, it was held in your area .

VRAM is short for Varioram induction. It's in my signature because I have a '97 993 Varioram engine in my '91 C2. The Varioram was introduced with the '96 993, and is good for about 12 hp--probably less with the 964 exhaust.

I know of several people that have contemplated adding the VRAM to their earlier 3.6L engine--some even have the unit in hand--but I'm not aware of anyone that has been successful as of yet. I believe (emphasis on believe) the main complication is controlling the unit. The '91 C2 "brain" wouldn't have such a feature, but retrofitting a '97 brain to run a '91 engine would be complicated/$$$.

How's the car running, Jeff? Well, I hope!
