I had no idea. Many thanks, I'll skip these.
NC700
lower revving and not as sweet sounding an engine, but just about as fast, comfy, more upright, good aftermarket, cheap.

$5299 not super cheap but really newish and low miles.

Also I don't get the aircooled Porsche boners. I like the 993, outside of that they are just mediocre old cars that need constant attention and have few redeeming qualities outside of the
fest appreciation.
Because they sound fantastich.

NC700 is good stuff.
I've seen them for 4500 occasionally.
The red ones are older too, methinks he's a little proud of that.

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

the one off
ones that cost 6 figures and a few years to build are
because those = all 914s not the 4 cylinder 80-110hp ones that most were.
MR2 is basically a better 914 in every single way outside of badge... yet I'd think I'd be embarrassed to tell someone I drive a "Porsche" only to have them find a 914 outside.

With 34hp or 50hp for the Ghia you'd have to mod it just to keep up with traffic...
"TOP SPEED" of 74MPH... for the lower end model... I mean... where do I sign.
Yes, it is pretty and timeless but it would be shit to drive daily.
