Yeah fuck you, island!

No no! Keep talking about them! I bought an '82 just last year and I now watch each and every new car on the market with a selfish sense of glee!

So....what the hell happened? How does the suspension get that far out and then just snap back into place? I mean you even hear the pop and creak when it goes out!

Even physicists will wrongly assume that the tire/asphalt interface is purely frictional without considering that there is quite a lot of mechanical interface between the two where the tire will fill voids in the asphalt and push against it, not just along it.

No you aren't. The lack of the off-throttle over-run neuters the excitement. It can't just be WOT noise all the time, the disparity of the off-throttle growl heightens the on-throttle exhaust note. I'll never buy a DCT simply because of this, it's awful.

That's correct. The whale tail's rubber scoops up on all three sides where the Carrera tail flips up only on the rear. I have a whale tail on my '82, whale supremacy!

Hoover, Alabama seized car right here:

"A thing happened, let's focus on the solution", is always the best way to go, good on ya. I'll never get people who stress and fret when things happen. Take a moment to accept it and get to fixing it best you can.

The little light that could.

Damn am I ever tired of classic American sedans. They're just boring every-day sedans that just happen to be old. It's neat to see them in good condition, but you have to remember there was absolutely nothing special about them back then.

What kind of half-assed list of greatest engines doesn't include the Carrera GT's V10?

Well I'll be sure to forward your comments to the actual race driver of the car that is in no way at all similar to your R32.

Are we seriously arguing about when a driver is hitting the brakes? You guys do realize this is a video taken of the rear of the vehicle. You know... where they put the brake lights?

I bet it's a combination of this and there being a turn there; it's hard to tell in the gif but if he dragged his butt in heavy snow while the road itself turned to meet him I could see it happening.

It's actually a ton better for power and drive-ability, but the sound of the motor changed quite a lot, losing its harsh mechanical edge. The change had to be made, though, for more power, reliability, mileage, really everything; air-cooled motors are dinosaurs.

It doesn't take all that much, only thing I'd do is the IMS retrofit which is pretty cheap. After that it's all stock aside from safety equipment/suspension, which won't cost any more or less than 944 spec.

Agreed. They're an unbelievable bargain nowadays (so long as you fix what ails it), and when you're driving a 911 at the limit you kind of forget what the headlights look like. I used to have a 996 and honestly the headlights grew on me; I also don't get the complaints about the interior, sure it's a little doughy but…

The 996 does have an emergency manual release for the hood. It's in a stupid place, but can be relocated somewhere handy, like right behind the cover for the tow hook.
