'cause Mustang and Camero was already taken.....
why did your parents call you Kerry?? same thing, gotta have a name and I guess Porsche liked numbers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) the 911 was originally a 901 until they got sued (and lost) by some Renault or one of those French manufactures |
