3-Pedals Posted February 13 Posted February 13 The term "back seat" in an air cooled 911 is quite generous. LOL. "Jump seat" is more accurate!

Reiver Posted February 13 Posted February 13 (edited) Can't imagine using that much HP on the street.... my C8 Vette has more grunt than is usable on the street unless I feel like going to jail. The reason I love the r400 is I can play with it on the street and have some winding out without pure felony time. Edited February 13 by Reiver

I just like building crazy stuff. Going for 900 on my current project but it has been a challenge The C8 is such a nice car and so very capable. I am a vette fan too but one gen earlier. 1
Reiver Posted February 14 Posted February 14 If they had not made the C8 a mid-engined platform I'd have gone elsewhere. It has less HP than some other front engined rides but will beat them around a track due to the weight distro.... smoking/spinning tires don't do much for me.
pethier Posted February 14 Posted February 14 I considered a C8. I'd been thinking that it was about time I tried a dual-clutch car. But I'm an autocross freak and it's just too wide. Than I tripped over a great price on a Cayman with the most reliable engine, PDK and Sport Plus. It's my regular 3-season driver and a backup autocross car.
Reiver Posted February 14 Posted February 14 They are nice...I had a 718 w/manual for some time.... sold it for the C8. Lol, I just smoked one with my r400 on the straights and roundabouts on 93..
