I would do it but only for a 3.6, otherwise I would sell the cobra and mod the c2.

+1 on the 3.6. Yes, I would sell the Cobra (sorry, the world is awash in Cobra's - but very few 965's), but you've been bitten by the Turbo bug and if you mod your C2, you will still find yourself wanting a Turbo.

But be really careful, I'm afraid Porsche Turbo's have always been paired with original owners with more money than sense (rock stars, professional athletes, corporate embezzlers, etc.), who just think it's another thing to grab with their new-found wealth. The car ends up being the epitome of "rode hard and put away wet". They also have a high likelihood of having been wrapped around a light pole or shot through the apex of a drainage ditch. Tracing the provenance, the maintenance and repair history and getting a really good PPI would be doubly important.

Yes....Porsche people are excellent...and so are you as well as we have had previous forum discussions....

I have to transfer to the Peachstate region (Georgia) from the NNJPCA region... and start mingling...

I think springtime will be a better time to sell the Cobra and the Carrera but a bad time to buy their replacement..

Yes...you are right in every aspect....That is the problem with with Cobra's, Vette's, Mustang's....most of them have been beaten the hell out of and then put up for sale before the major problems set in.....

I was lucky to find mine in an 8 to 9 scale
