The comparison is interesting. I'm fortunate enough to have an original factory -6, a converted, flared -6 conversion with a Supertec built 2.7, and a 911 Carrera 3.2.
The original -6 definitely feels the lightest (really an adult's go cart), the 3.2 Carrera the most luxuriest (though with too many electric motors running everything), but the 2.7 conversion is the real beast. 200 rwhp in a mid engined chassis will put a big smile on anyone's face and the increased torque of the 2.7 makes it a breeze to drive. They're all different but I'd have a tough time parting with any of them! |
