I love my Macan. 38k mi. It looks like a baby TGT.
Remus exhaust, transmission mounts (shifts faster), Pedal Commander (immediate response), Coargraphic controller (lower height), wide body with custom wheels.
It rides very different from stock.
Suspension is tighter, wider contact patch makes it more planted in corners, sounds perfect, responds and shifts instantly. It also looks great (to my eye).
I absolutely love it but a chat with my SA has me thinking about a TGT.
Without taking money into consideration, should I upgrade?
My driving reasons are: 1) the Macan is a 2017 and things may start wearing, 2) want factor of the TGT
But I like small and light cars and the TGT takes me away from that.
Are these all your cars?? Or is this a shared/secure garage situation?
Funny thing happened last night...
Driving in an underground parking lot a guy in a new Bronco chased and waved me down.
He was really taken with the Macan and said to call him if I ever wanted to part with it.
I guess stars are aligning.
I love the idea of it ending up in the the hands of someone who will really appreciate it.
tell me about the green long nose 911 in your posts
72 ST tribute built on an 86 Carrera. 100% nut and bolt restoration.
Goal is sub 2k lbs and 270 hp.
The intent is to build a car that is dynamically similar to the original race car but for road use.
I'm walking a fine line between staying true to the original character of the car and reimagining what it would be like had the car been built in the 80s and for road use, more like a 3.2 Club Sport.
Certain comfort features have been done away with including AC, radio, and heat.
Certain ones will remain or be added, like power windows and a leather dash with deviated stitching.
I wrestle with many of the decisions because I see so many Franken cars being built. I don't want to add to the tragedy.
One such decision was to build on an 86, with the last of the 915 boxes and the last iteration of the 911 with no nannies as opposed to the 964 which so many are enamored with in order to have a safer, more powerful (but heavier) car.
Completion is scheduled for this summer. Can't wait!
My deadman's car. Thanks for asking.
