Mercy! That’s one sweet Carrera.
Yep. I love the blue and triple black versions. They only made the 3.6 Turbo version one year. The price has come down to about 60k but that’s still too rich for me. Of course the prices are now on the way back up because of their scarcity...
I had a 911 frankenstien one time... 77 911’ frame, parts body (resembled more of a 911 RS, and a grey market 88’ turbo engine) It was a blast to drive. Porsche yellow with just two seats and a roll cage. However, it had one big turbo so it had lots of lag. Around corners you really had to watch it because the turbo would hit mid turn and all of the sudden you had 200 extra horsepower to deal with. A couple of times I found myself headed sideways... I wish I hadn’t sold that car.
The best part was the straight line acceleration. The transmission was setup for 1/4 mile runs. Lots of low end grunt. It had almost no firewall or soundproofing any more and 5 point restraints. I loved taking someone for a ride in that car and stomping on it. It would roar inside and then the turbo whine would kick in. You would also get whiffs of fuel in the cabin when you put your foot down.
Now that I think about it... it is probably a good thing I sold it.
