^ l like to think every car every vintage of porsche is special thus there is no need to celebrate any particluar vintage or model. i tell my wife that, everyday is the same and she's great, so i have never bought b day or valentine gifts. b/c everyday is special, no need to differentiate.

I'm glad they're not offering this car in Grand Prix White with black Fuchs and 930 style stone guards, otherwise I might have to buy one.

A wide body Carrera 2S with funky inteior. I like it. Too bad you couldnt get this color combo in a 991 GT3 or Turbo. I am not a Carrera 2S buyer.

With the scarcity of 964 sold in U.S. (a time where Porsche almost ran out of business), and the platform being the best to create retro cars (no more torsion bars, and all the luxury amenities), I see prices of 964 going up plenty more, and they are already up from 10 years ago.

964 converted to 1969 body with wide fenders, Winner!!! 2,400 lbs with all amenities, and a massaged 3.8 with 300whp. I want !

Your antique is such a cheater car. Did you finally get it to a dyno?

3.8 antique engine and 300whp is pretty solid. For DD you don't need Fiat power.

I like the idea of Salvage title 964 converted to Long Hood 1973 RS style, and duck tail, and 8"/11" x 16 fuch style with rear fenders like the 74 RSR.

No dyno, too lazy and don't really care. Figure it makes around 200 HP. It is only a 80's vintage 3.0L out of an old POS SC. I just took the fuel injection off. I enjoy blowing flames out the back when the carb load up and I ask it for power

Don't think thread belongs in the GT3 forum
