we had one of these on the farm I grew up on. By the time I had consciousness, it had a wooden bed and was a “farm only” vehicle.

Honestly, I think 1 horsepower per 10 lbs is about right. So, a 3000 lbs car should have about 300hp, and a 4000 lbs car should have 400hp.

Nice catch!

Who knew that Porsche secretly collaborated with Ferrari on the 993.

Great car. I have 30K miles on mine. US serial # 1. They painted it P 4/5 Red for me. No real problems. Needs snow tires in anything over 1 inch.
