If you had the cash to pick up the blue 916 that is for sale, would you do it? I know it is one of 12 and a prototype, but I personally like looking at a good GT (real or conversion) just as much.
I love 914's and I like things that are different, but compared to what else you could get for that kind of money, I am not sure if the 916 would even be in my top 10... or 20. Sorry to be random, I just re-read the excellence article on the car over lunch..... it needs new carpet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

No, I like to drive to much. And a 916 is one of those cars I would not want to
drive(except maybe a parade) on the street with bonehead low performance drivers.I would rather have a badass conversion with all the goodies and a sick 3.0 that breathes fire when the turbos cough. But thats just me. |

I dunno, if I had it I'd drive it. The one nice thing about $150K+ cars is that you just about can't total them. And, so long as they're not original anyway (like the blue car), why not fix them after a shunt or repaint after rock chips?
It was made to drive, after all, and the funny thing about a 916 is you could park it in the Mission and it wouldn't get keyed. After all, to most people, it looks like a bad 914-based kit car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) However, I'd rather spend the money buying that blue Kinesis 914 and sticking a hot 3.4 in it -- or build a seriously bad-ass, seriously accurate Yellow Bird replica. To date, still the best old Porsche I've driven by miles... ...and miles. pete |
