JC video is disturbing!

 

JC is totally disturbed, but that's why we love him, even when he destroys a piece of art (the 911, not the piano...)

 

Clarkson is a boob but I cannot stop watching. Maybe it is that utter love of almost any car. Even when he is ripping it apart.

Only one issue with video. The new 911s are not nearly as tough. A slight bump in any one of the 4 corners of a cup car and you will crush a radiator.

 

ROTFLMAO!

 

wowwwwww need a new emotion for that video

 

SM_ATL, put down the good stuff you have been smoking, and slowly step away from your car...

 

Tired of it already? That's what scares me about the 991. Enthusiasts seem to grow tired of dual clutch transmissions quickly. Don't want the 911 to become watered down to sell to more in and outers. Great for initial sales, bad for residuals.

 

Yeah, a good night sleep was enough to clear up my mind... and I should never listen to some friends advice when its too late and...humm... let's say it's too late.
What post are you talking about BTW ?

 

Ah...it's only in my dream man.

 

Is that my old 997S?

Nope, wrong license plate

 

I am glad you did this with our CR that I bought . But, I do understand to a degree how you feel. My wife and I have owned > 40 cars. And, for a long time..........I was trading constantly. That seems to have slowed down with my 08 CS that I traded to get your CR. One thing I have found is that I have intentionally slowed down the pace at which I make changes.......plan a lot more, research a lot more and it streches out how long before I feel like I have done all I can. The real test will be how long I keep the CR as you did so many things to it that fit my taste that you left me little to do...........

 

Not tired of it at all in fact. My 'dilemma' came from the fact that I am turning my 991 50% into a track car and keeping it 50% as a daily driver. In the end, it is not a GT3 and it is not a convenient DD either. Knowing that I do not want to spend way more $$$ on cars than I am today an initial idea was to replace the 991 by an OK fast DD (M3?) + dedicated track car.
A few drinks later, I was posting the disappeared message i quickly deleted when I got sober again

Truth of the matter is: the 991, PDK or not, is AMAZING. I'll dial it back a bit more to stock to make it more usable as DD (remove the muffler bypass and harness) and making it look a bit more OEM (not showing up at business meeting in what looked more and more like a race car), will continue to track the 991 and will wait for the economy to recover to think about a dedicated track car.

 

You are a wise man!
As a street car, my 991S is as good as it will ever get. I was for a moment looking at how to satisfy my recent but devouring track passion without breaking the bank. But then, looking at the depreciation hit, it is kind of pointless. I'll finish building my new home and see if there something left for a ride I can use, abuse and crash on the track

 

In the end ( especially when economy sukks) more people are asking that very same question. What am I getting out if this?? It's like buying a 24 CT golden handle to flush the toilet. It's not changing the way the lavatoire works not does it diminishes the smell in the powder room!.

 

One of my CEOs at Bell Helicopter showed up with a C5 Corvette and a Porsche 911 and I was a little surprised that he wouldn't worry about his reputation. But then the next one showed up with a Harley.
