Re: Fw: '94 Q45 / '89 200q comparison...
Frank, et al:
Your sooo right, and when I and my 911 get together and start working as a team,
almost nothing feels as good. Since the car is so hard to get onto the knife edge and
keep it there it become a bond thats almost human in nature. Because the car can feel
so confidence instilling up to 9/10 many will flirt with the upper limits, and many
will lose, ask my ex-wife who did 5,000.00 dollars worth of damage to a '84 Carrera
against a curb showing off to her "new" stepson. Lost it big did a 720 a three digit
speed and tagged a curb. No the car didn't flip and no human was hurt but the front
suspention was folded in, the rear was ok, but the Fuchs failed taking out the rear
calaper (which was never found) exploding the rotor and and inbeding about 120 degrees
of it in the wheel well, between the inner and outer fender. Then the half shaft
transfered alot of that force in to the transaxle. The transmission still worked but
the diff bearing were making a real bad noise. She sold the car right away now that she
knows that med school didn't have a semester on 911 10/10 driving, and now drives a
front driver Subaru wagon. Oh the reason I know this she took the car to my Porsche
mechanic and I got a full report.
