Willhoit engine in the 356?

I can’t imagine what a 356 with 260hp runs like.

Gorgeous girls...obviously the modern RS cars will run away and leave an air cooled car but the G cars are beautiful.

I have close go 200k miles?? and prolly 30+ GT3/rS over the years, they really don't do it for me anymore.
air cooled stinkers can scare you ****less. seems more exciting...
I am going back in time, a 260hp 356 will be here at some point
well, you have any 997.1 GT3 RS stuff laying around you can sell me?

Fabulous photos, quality is first rate professional. The IROC 911 era gave us some of the best and rarest air cooled racers, both 2.8 and 3.0 RSRs produced in the 50s compared to the 1500 2.7 RS’s. My all time favorites.

Damn those pictures are good. And what a fine air-cooled Carrera! What year and what spec do you run?

Thanks! RS will have a gloss PPF soon. Hopefully it’s just as stunning.

The air cooled hasn’t run in any races in my possession. It was mechanically rebuilt and restored and was ready to race, but was retired/converted to a street legal race car/outlaw by the previous owner instead. It only sees back roads and cars and coffee these days.

Most days the RS does it for me, but there’s some days where the air cooled speaks to me more.

Love the back drop. Amazing how Porsche shape has not changed.
