Guenther. No significance, really.

When I sold my Integra Type R to get the 964, the gal that bought it said she was naming in Bart II becausse her previous Type R was Bart the 1st. She asked what I would call the 911. I was not planing to name it, but the 1st German sounding name to come to mind was Guenther.

So, 4 years later, its still Guenther.

I haven't come up with a nickname, but my boss calls it The Silver Yugo. As in "Dave got his skiis in The Silver Yugo, so he'll be joining us!"

I'll have to ask my wife. I'm sure she'll have something to say!

BABY

(We are running a 2.7 motor in a RSR body. One day when she grows up she will be LADY - hopefully with a 550 hp supercharged motor).

Car nicknames that have been bandied around my house over the last 2 months are "Mistress", "Girlfriend" and "Redhead". I dont think anything has quite stuck yet.

I call it "the black car" as in, "Honey, do you want to take the black car to the club? or "I can't take more than one to lunch because today i drove the black car."
