Instant weight loss of a couple of hundy kegs
No fancy spring things
No PS, AC, ABS, SR, EW, PM, not much of bugger all really.

^^^^ Mmmm, tasty. a 993 GT2/RSR replica. Must be every on every Porsche nuts wish list. Youll need decent HP boost to do it justice. Imagine with all that fiberglass how little it would weigh!

Just met the man who bought the white 993 off the old woman. 40,000km and doesn't want to drive it much as it destroys value.....

Thanks to Dave, I now have a matching set of beautiful gold 16" D90's that look great on the car. Those of you with flash modern OZ etc wheels will undoubtably be jealous as hell.

Dave, thanks for going the extra mile and getting them here tonight. An opportunity for a few sessions at Pukekohe as part of the Targa Tour has been taken up and my esteemed co-driver is also keen to give Lola some beens and see how she compares to his 993. Nothing over 6,000 rpm tho Dave :-P

As put in another Rennlist thread, "Not driving a car for fear of hurting its value is like not having sex with your girlfriend so that she'll be in more "pristine condition" for her next boyfriend".

Put a 3/10's thick block of wood under the accelerator when Paul's driving it. Seriously, it would be good to have a benchmark driver like Paul fang it and lay down the type of times that reflect the cars capability. I would love to know what the '64 can do at HD in the right hands with the right tyres. No pro stuff, just a fast driver. Now that I don't own it I'd be in favour of seeing that happen! Those boxster wheels with the new Toyo's should bolt right on and must be close to the legendary 221's.

Yes, we need another 964 benchmark. Steve intimated he wants to give me another benchmark. Competitive? Just a little.
