964 slantnose Turbo S
I think I know those cars!! who's the IDIOT who sold them?!! dummy!
Well, i can tell you this, they are probably my favorite machines of all time. The 964 Turbo is probably my very favorite porsche ever. Raw, mean, tons of pull, torque, stylish, no fancy modern blinking or beeping things. And those S's take it to another level. The headlamps would come up old school. They were reliable. They drove awesome, no better per se than the 964 Turbos. But what i always remember, was if you were throttling it hard, there is a certain point where, if i recall Cobalt explaining it to me, the waste gate "opens?" and it lets out the BWAAAAA blaring crazy tone. the first time i heard it, did it, i was sin an underpass and i really thought i whacked something out. then i learned it was par for the course, and loved pushing it hard to get that BWAAAA.
the pearl was exceptional. just silly nice. but i had a hard time with it since they only made 2 in pearl, and the paint job was un fixable if you whacked it. the black was very nice, but i didnt love love the grey interior. the red was probably the finest example anyone has ever seen, 100% stock including stock tires. Ray Joseph bought that from me.
In retrospect, i proved to myself what an idiot i can be in having sold those rarities. Eh, done it before, do it again. We just ain't that smart. The Woman are smarter.
If anyone has any questions on them, feel free to let me know.
