One of the best ways to see your Porsche is to see it in action from outside of it. But then who is driving it if not you?

In my case it was my friend whose 1974 911 I was driving. Fun get together; we had not had the cars together before this.

The '74 is Lilac in color with a black interior and was very tight for its age. It felt quite light and rather quicker than I expected. Fun to see how, after 42 model years, the basic curves have changed very little.

 

awesome pics! very cool

 

It really gives you perspective how much bigger these cars have gotten.
It had been a few years since i sold my 87. My first thought in my 2017 was wow, this feels big.

 

As I remember the 1974 tranny had a 4.22 rear end. After 1974 it was 3.88. Don't remember what it was after 1986

 

All I can tell you is that the pedals were very close together.

It was interesting to drive a car again that has a mechanical throttle. I recall my E53 BMW X5 being the first car I had with an electronic one, I sort of got used to the slightly vague feeling they all have. The 991 is better than most.

 

Didn’t and don’t own the early 911s, but do have a ‘19 911.

The size increase is jarring from all those early models I used to see in the ‘70s, side by side with the new ones.

Can’t say if it’s an improvement, but you can’t argue with the new ones’ performance.

 

Love it! And love that they are similar blues with the light bars across the back, really great!!!
