What are you getting to replace her?

 

I have now posted it in the Classifieds

http://mall.rennlist.com/scripts/fea...uery=retrieval

I will be back in a 911, but more likely an SC or an early 911. It's about time I learn how to drive

 

I believe the word I'm looking for is merde or the other French word that starts with "T" and ends in "nac". Not to be repeated in polite company. Sorry this car won't be back on the road.

 

That's the best news I've heard on rennlist in months. Seriously.

Wait till you get an early car on the track at Mosport.

 

I think Arnaud is from France, does he know what those Quebec french words mean... .

Hey Christien, ur looking for someone to race with eh!

 

Arnaud's a man of the world - I'm sure he knows a few of the phrases spoken by the colonies!

 

Maybe not so much someone to race with, just someone who's not always passing me!

 

... hey bud we're in the same boat...I know it's DE but I can't stand it...it bugs me to no end.

 

Hey Arnaud, at that price why don't you just fix it up and keep it as a dedicated track car?

 

Because the 993 is not a track car for me: it gives too much confidence and not enough feed-back (at least not obvious enough that I can feel I am going too fast). Bottom line is I want to learn how to handle a 911 and an SC or a long hood seem like a good choice for the time being.

 

If you're concern is the track, go with the SC. 1. cheaper entry price. 2. less of an issue to smash - not that that should be your goal of course! But SCs are far more easy to find and replace than longhoods. 3. Most importantly, power. I find my 2.4, even when running well, to be underpowered for the track. There's a lot I could do to fix that, but you may as well just start with the SC.

From everything I've read, the SC still has all the fun of the longhoods, with just a bit more weight being the only real difference. If you want to take my car for a spin, you're welcome any time. Well, other than December through April

 

Christien, you are probably right. Though back in October, I drove a '67 911 S (160 hp) for half an hour on twisty roads up and down the escarpment and could not stop smiling. For the fun factor, I would rather drive fast in a slow car, than slow in a fast car.

 

You don't have to convince me of that! I've noticed my entry speeds into the various corners at Mosport are very similar in my car vs. my dad's 996TT, especially turn 2 and 8. Guess which car it's more fun in. Back in Sept. we had both those and my dad's Corvette at Mosport, so I pretty much had my choice of my car or the 996 all day. I did one 10 minute session in the 996, that's it.

Whose 67S did you get your hands on? And are they renting it out? I've never had the pleasure of driving an S, but I'll bet it was awesome.

Don't let me talk you out of a longhood, by any means, so long as you know what you're getting into.

Also, don't forget the comfort difference with a longhood. If there's one area it just simply can't compete, it's comfort. 99% of the time I'm fine with that, but when I watch all you guys drive home from the track with AC, comfy seats, a good stereo, etc. it just makes my back that much more sore.

Also, without the galvanized body, winter driving is absolutely completely verboten. If I had an SC, I'd probably drive it year round, or at least a few times in the winter, and just wash it really well.

But as you may know, I've hummed and hawed over selling or trading my car for a newer, more powerful cabrio. I had an offer for a straight-up trade for a 964 cabrio. I could never bring myself to pull the trigger.

 

Bump for a good man...nay, a great man.

As for the SC thing I assume your debate will be between an SC, a carerra, or a G50 carrera. It's a tough call. All are great cars. Each have pros and cons.
