That said, I definitely got flipped off a couple of days ago for running pretty close to a guys bumper who was blocking an otherwise empty freeway. Whatever...

It's the color. I have a cobalt 964 turbo 3.6 and it gets more attention because of the color than anything. I have driven with a number of other 964 turbos and have had people single me out because the color is very unusual.

BTW were you at the NNJR Pocono event a few weeks back? If so I was driving with you and your car is beautiful. Did you fix the rear bumper?

This is mine sechsgang will have to post his own. I would like a 997 GT3 in cobalt one day. For now my C2 for track duty will have to do.

Cobalt is a tough color to capture especially the earlier formula which changes so many different colors depending on light.

My favorite is the last one. With a few bolt on mods. Last I had it dynoed it was at 430 BHP with 450 torque. Since then I have done some minor intake and exhaust work. I guess it is close to 450 hp and 460 torque. All I know is it feels a heck of a lot faster than it did at 430. Now she breaks the 295 PS2's loose at 5000 rpms in the 1st 3 gears with ease, very similar in feel to a friends GT2 with a slightly less linear power band.

If you know anything about 94 turbos, th are rare. this one of 3 in this color and the only one with black interior.

Enjoy.

I apologize to the OP for Off topic
