Ahh, my mistake. Extremely cool nonetheless and a fantastic few days of weather to cruise around in a classic 911!

mrk · 7 Nov 2020 at 23:52

The weather has been really nice I agree!

Don’t usually like Porsche , but that’s a classic

a 3.2l in such an old and small car, must be fun to say the least

He said it's quite slow by modern standards, it's 220 odd BHP but weighs around 1200KG. Even still 0-60 is a tad under 6s. When we went out for a convoy drive he asked me not to accelerate too fast as he can't keep up

It's not about power/speed in cars like that though. The noise alone and sense of drama make it feel like you're pushing on silly digits :cool:

That's what driving enjoyment is all about.

Nasher · 8 Nov 2020 at 11:53

Sub 6 second 0-60 is still pretty quick in the real world. Especially in something which can put all of it's power down on our crap tarmac.

mrk · 8 Nov 2020 at 11:59

Oh indeed!

The rear tyres seemed wider than most mums

Akagi · 8 Nov 2020 at 12:02

Under 6s to 60 feels fast to me. Doing it in an 80's Porsche, low to the floor, with the engine behind your head. I bet thats fun.

dacads · 8 Nov 2020 at 12:04

Yeah lightweight will always feel more fun , all about the power to weight ratio init

tom_nieto · 8 Nov 2020 at 13:25

Who cares how fast you’re going when you look (and sound) like that?

Jonnycoupe · 8 Nov 2020 at 13:39

All about the feeling of the event and every time you take that thing out will be an event. Even talking about 0-60 hints you don’t get it.

Awesome car, great photos.

Slow car fast is always more fun than fast car slow, it's just one of those things.

Hey now.... Only mentioned to set context as part of the fun/performance discussion! Hell even my M3 is not fast compared to today's hot hatches and turbo Ms but the sound and feel is :cool:

- Hence 6 years on it's still being used regularly.

Three character plate which rolls off the tongue nicely and has "RS" in it, an easy £100K+ to the right buyer.

Several similar plates have sold for between £100K and £200K, "2 RS" is currently up for £102K, "4 RS" is currently up for £150K having sold earlier this year for £74K.

It is sat on a car worth maybe £500.
