The Porsche Thread

I'm shopping for a replacement for my 670HP 996TT right now. I'm torn between getting another modern Porsche, Like a 2004-2008 GT3, or something more historic and vintage. I really like the old 930s, but could do a 964 or 993... I just want back in a Porsche... Driving a well sorted 97 M3 right now, and truly enjoy it as a daily driver, but there's just no comparison to owning a Porsche...

Glad this thread is here.

Never owned one, but I did meet Vic Elford once.

Nice looking ride. 1600#, hand laid Fiberglas, 3" steel tube frame an a 75 - 150+ hp air cooled motor.
They are a very rewarding driver and a timeless concept.

is that one of those modernized early 911's? I can't remember what they're called. Some of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen:eek1

It's not, but are you thinking of a Singer?

That's funny.

It's an original Carrera RS with 42,000 miles on it. The street version of the RSR that was raced in the IROC series for a few years, like the picture of the green one in the museum.

The body of a Singer has the RSR-type flares and the right rear quarter oil fill, but that's just about the only similarity to an original.

Really, an RS with a sliding roof. I've not seen one like that before. I'd have guessed it was a clone from that alone, not mentioning the wheels, glass trim and looks like that seats were changed also. Most people would not make those changes and devalue a very expensive car. Nice looking car none the less.

Singer. Yeah that's the one!

Great thread , my first car was a '65 356 C , loved it .

Thanks Rinty, I'll check that out before I get too much deeper into this thing.

Cam timing 911 motors is relatively easy - just take your time and run through it at least 4 - 5 times.

These Porsche motors are a bit more intimidating.....

Glorious , Must be a blast to drive a real Carerra.

Who would expect to find a shop specializing in Porsche's in a small out-of-the-way California (blue collar) town

Is that Porsche Restoration?

Don't know I'll find out
