Is this possible? I can't believe it. The Cayman looks like a limo.

Scale the weights... All Porsches up til the mid- 70's weighed no more than 2200 lbs... 914s are just at 1800-2000, and those are street cars.
The 904 was just a fiberglass shelled "unibody" race-car. Definite death trap in collision on the street. That Cayman is a Pig at 2900 lbs. |

Actually, you're a tad low on your weights - except for lightened cars for race/AX/rally/etc. The 70's 911's were over 2200#, as were our 914's being in the 2000-2270-ish range on the -6 range. Note the `73 R&T test of the 914-2.0 below lists CW at 2145# .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
