Still loving it, but after 7kM in 5 months and my ears ringing (Huntington Beach to San Bernadino), I had to buy a jeep for the daily commute (purchased in Nov 14 at 58k, now at 65~).
The porker was also a bit **** getting up the mountain to the shooting areas in Perris .
saying that, it is a great car and it is the pivot point between "modern" and "old". I believe this is the last of the cars with more grip than grunt, and there will never be another like it. Mine has the 030 US suspension, and I thought about fitting the Euro version, but it really doesn't need it, especially with the really ****ty socal roads (still rattles fillings out of teeth).
-ve points (and some +ve ones): -****ty plastics, similar to ford of same generation (even in full leather it still shines through) -feels fragile, something I cannot confirm, it's just a "feel", hasnt let me down yet, despite me driving it like a moffalovaa. -count on replacing all bushings, water pump and thermostat, no matter mileage, it is a 13 years old German car FFS, just do it (cheap if you do it yourself, not so much if someone else does it) -not worried about IMS, changed oil when I got it, and due another one anytime now, clutch seems ok, will do IMS when the clutch goes. Obviously I checked oil filters for residue and all that, but I also do that on the jeep. -Brake pad change was cheap, replaced with Stoptech's (did it myself, cost $96, +15 for Dot4) -Peeps love it, or if they don't they hate it. Let's face it is not a bright yellow Mustang which will make everyone smile (ask me how I know). Problem is, it is a porker, it gets lots of attention, and not all of it good. Living in Socal, the cops don't care, but every one else thinks you are a **** (4 letter word rhymes with Konst but no S} -The handling-, no I mean it, nothing goes around corners like a Porker. If you have never experience the center of inertia/rotation behind you, this will seriously mess with you. It is scary, but it never actually seems to go wrong.... Oh and did I mention it goes around corners like nothing else I have ever driven? -I love the aero look, I think standard 911s are pig ugly, this transforms it into on of the finest looking cars on the road (I also believe the 928 is the most beautiful car anyone has designed to date). -The factory sports exhaust!!!!. Thank the lords of petrol for that button, it may not get used much, but when it does it is because my neighbors are armed at 4:30am. All other times, let it rip!
Viz, I love it and wont be trading it anytime soon.
And I now have one in my garage! 2003 Aero, Lapis Blue, 65,000 miles. Drove it home from So Cal a couple weeks ago. Have put about 500 miles on it so far and haven't stopped smiling. It goes to my mechanic in a few weeks so we can figure out exactly what's been done previously. It's obviously been lowered, but I did not get any records.
