A/C? they have A/C...........?

that's what i thought the windows were for!

You must be thinking of the 4-65 system. 4 windows down, 65mph. Might work in WA. Not so well in IL.

I am in the same boat, need AC for the woman. Especially this weekend! If it were me I would just roll down the windows regardless, but sometimes the 911 does get warm.

It works great. I spent a long time deciding if I should order air conditioning 16 years ago on my RSA. Was it with the spirit of the car, and all.

But I have used it enough, and been VERY happy with it, so I am glad I did.

Same for my previous 92 C2. It did leak out every couple of years but when it was charged it blew as cold as my newer cars.

Unfortunately any Porsche 911 up to and including the 997 only has the
2-65 system.

i use to DD it in FL as well - it was pretty hot.
but the A/C generally works well if you have it

My C2 cab kept me cool when Las Vegas temps hit 116 last year.
Daily driver with R12 still in system.

Not quite true!! The older cars have the 6-65 system (front triangle vent windows, regular side windows, and the rear side windows all open!)

AC works very well, just like any other current car.

Aircooled cars forbidden in the windy city?!

Nah! It's just that when you land a new job, and you're going to be leading a group of engineers, driving a Porsche when you still in your 20's seems a bit ostentatious. I don't think so at all, but you know - looks can be deceiving.

On a side note, the Honda S2000 would be a decent alternative perhaps. But I've never driven one...

To the uneducated masses... (ie. all the non Porsche drivers)

new Porsche = ******
old Porsche = connoisseur

interesting Murph - I am in the same boat. I just started a new job and need a daily driver. I have been driving a range rover classic and at 12-15mpg it is time for something else (I will keep it for out door activities). I am seriously thinking about a 964 cab or coup but feel a little bad about showing up to work or client locations with it. Not sure what message it will send. Interestingly enough, the cars are far less expensive than all the newer ones that most people drive and are far more fun!

I've thought about a bumper sticker than says, "I paid 1/2 what you paid for your Honda"
