Let's hope he hires an Electrical Engineer. ;)

I'm sure he can still work magic with the chassis.

I hear you guys complaining about the bigger air ducts and saying that they aren't necessary, but I am going to respectfully disagree:

The new sound of performance will be a high pitched whine from the inverters/speed controllers and the howl of the terrified tyres. I welcome the new age.

(But I'm still keeping my '69 911 for all the reasons you list - have you ever heard the glorious intake noise of 6 individual throttle bodies at 7K RPM? Glorious,…

It's an awesome thing to see. I just finished two years aboard the aircraft carrier USS NIMITZ, and we saw some very heavy seas, but I don't remember seeing any flex at all. When a large wave hit the ship would ring like a bell, but there wasn't any visible deformation.

In related commentary - I spent my young Navy…

It think it has to do with the Navy wanting to act like the Air Force. There is a lot of capability you can add if you don't have to haul around a whole mission's worth of gas... I understand that, but I don't think it works well for the Navy in general, and is espically unsuited to maritime patrol, where aircraft…

They've been making a big deal of it, but the old P-3s (from Austrailia) have also been doing a lot of the work. The huge difference between the two platforms is simple fuel efficiency: the P-8 is great at high altitude, but LOUSY down low; the P-3 is great down low and not too bad up high. For maritime patrol the…

Tyler,

That's what I was going to mention! I nearly died in one of those in Colorado in the '90s.

Instead of going over the GM recall, what do you think of an Abarth with an automatic? Heresy or necessary?

I love it!

... in England. (It's an old story. Just google it)

Where in the world did you find that?

Raphiel,

Raphael,

It's beautiful, but It's CP for me because it isn't anything I'd want to drive at any price. 2sp slush-o-matic, straight 6, it's just not my bag, baby.

CP for the extensive rust and downright silly engine. This should have a 3.0L, not a underpowered 2.2T. (Don't get me wrong, I daily drive a 2.2T, and it's lots of fun, but a '69 is weigh lighter than an SC)

... and what proof do we have that it's the actual movie car?

I wouldn't want to drive it, but it's almost certainly worth more than the asking price when parted out. It's a mess now, but if you strip all the weird off it, and it is pretty straight, you could probably sell the tub for $2500.

I still hate it... but I'm glad that Porsche is in sound financial shape because of it.

It's so wrong and SO SO right. I LOVE IT! :)

That old lady could hoon anything! :)
