Are we sure it was from TTAC and not TheOnion?

That’s my C&C stop in West Chester, PA. C&C is about people getting together to talk cars.

Seriously, we need to talk about how crazy modern P1 cars are.

The 968 was a few cars ago. Very early production (‘92 was the first year), but then it was basically a 944S3, which should have been very well debugged by then. I had it for about 10 years and it was just fine, once the stupid stuff got fixed. Lots of oil and P/S fluid leaks, shredded balance-shaft belts, broken door…

I could have written this post, except that my ‘92 968 was very troublesome, with tons of early-quality issues that were frustrating to work through.

You’re not wrong or insane — it’s just a matter of mismatched expectations. Porsche doesn’t try to play the style game, for better or worse. That’s why you have to be an aficionado to tell the difference between a brand-new 911 and a 20-year old one.

It should be an older one, or a newer one. The 991s are very nicely appointed, inside and out, compared to the 997. Some people have actually complained that they’re too un-Spartan to be a proper sports car.

Seriously? It bothers you that someone said 50/50 and your argument is that it is “closer” to 49/51? No one really cares that the dude taking a cell phone video after 30 years is off by 1%. “Closer” implies that it is somewhere in between 49/51 and 50/50... so 49.4/50.6?

man you’re annoying haha

And the conquest has a 2.6, not a 2.4
