i just completed a drive from california-ontario.... without a/c i would have been not only cooked in 104f desert heat but the window at night would have kept fogging up! the A/C blast was the only thing keeping the window fog free in colorado

oh common you wimp
windows open and put on a cool suit ;-)

Agreed! Our Dino doesn't have A/C, and I didn't have it in the Miura. Without A/C you have to choose completely different routes and/or times to travel. Modern A/C is relatively lightweight, works well and to my mind is a necessity for a car that is driven on the highway (at least in the West and South).

mooty

^ pls tell me you still have the miura. that's the lambo of lambo's. actually the only one i would want.

tcsracing1

they are definitly the only lambo to have!

im fragile

i actually tried driving with the windows down and it was worse! LOL!

the new RSR's have A/C

mooty

LOL, if RSR has AC, i am putting two of them in my race car ;-)

I completely agree with you, and yet I no longer have it. I sold it in April of 2008. I still miss it (especially the engine sound), but it was not reliable enough to drive, no matter what I did, no matter how much time/effort/money I spent.

It was a 1969 Miura S. I wanted one since I was 13. I bought it in 1995 for $80K, spent over $200K restoring it and "making it drivable" (all when a perfect car was worth maybe $160K). Finally in 2007, I gave up on it and sold it at what luckily turned out to be near the top of the market for $390K. In a way, the Miura made it easy for me to buy the RS.

I wanted a fast car (that whole "racecar for the street" thing that the Miura was supposed to be) that I would enjoy driving, and was reliable enough to drive. My wife and I have a pair of Boxster Ss (2000 & 2001) that have close to 110K miles on (each) them, and they've been very reliable and still feel great after after a lot of use. And they're still fun to drive.

Like Nugget in another thread, I worried about rear-engine and 911-ishness. But so far, I've been very happy with the RS... almost waiting for the other shoe to drop.

mooty

well for 390, i probably could do without the muira s ;-P
box are great cars, i have had 4.
oh RS, dont worry, it will be fine, reliable and very fast for years to come.

A/C is overrated! I never use it in my car even in 100'+ weather...I like feeling the elements.

CWay27

Wow great build and just like I would order one..... No AC with navigation

Carrera GT

Anyone have part numbers and diagrams for the race car AC? (I presume it's an electric compressor ... perhaps out of the Panablanda?)
