Not every car has to be absolutely maxed out on power man. If that's your thing then cool. But I think this car would perform fantastically. It has plenty of power for what a potential buyer would want. This car isn't made for pushing all out. It is for good performance and all out enjoyment and the interaction between car and driver.

To follow your own line of reference on how well it can f*ck...sometimes it's not about a raunchy pornstar bedroom romp. Sometimes it's about a romantic and passionate evening where you enjoy each others company and get to know each other on a more intimate level. I think that's what you are missing. Some girls you want something more with. That is exactly what this car is and for some reason you don't understand that.

It's not just about looks and it's not just about performance. It's about a perfect balance of the two for someone who wants to fully immerse themselves in the driving EXPERIENCE rather than just go fast.

It is truely amazing how much back in forth this thread has gotten, I believe that there is a total of 6 pages from fellow T'Ser who love this 911 and would gladly buy it in a heartbeat and the remaining is the back in fourth of what this Porshce lacks, or the tongue lashings back and fourth between members and one who really doesn't care to much about this Singer 911 But we all keep fueling the fire and we have 9 pages of bullshit. Now we are going back in fourth in regards to this Velocity Stacks that are pictured on the Singer 911 which I don't even think Cosworth has done there magic to the motor. This is what I was able to find that Cosworth partnership with Singer;

The collaboration means Cosworth will exclusively provide engines for the Singer 911, which is completely rebodied and re-engineered using modern materials and technologies. The firm’s engineering and development capabilities will be used to fettle the classic air-cooled powerplants, and the companies hope to eventually brand the ‘Singer-Cosworth’ flat-six engines for aftermarket sales. Improvements to the 964-sourced motor include optimisation in cylinder head design, fuel injection, intake and exhaust.

Three versions of the engine are offered: the 296bhp, 3.6-litre ‘Touring’, the 375bhp, 3.9-litre ‘Sport’ and the range-topping 4.0-litre ‘Cup’, producing 419bhp. The engines are then dropped into rust-proofed classic 911 bodies, whose body panels are replaced with carbonfibre provided by another of Singer’s recently announced partners, the Aria Group. Aria says this reduces the weight of the classic 911’s body by 75%.

The improvements aren’t just limited to the body and powerplant. Suspension, transmission and aerodynamics are all upgraded, and the brakes are taken from the 993-series 911. Electronics are significantly upgraded, and the seats and windows are now electrically operated. Also, bi-Xenon headlight units are integrated into the new headlamp housings.

The user can specify their vehicle to be geared towards “grand touring opulence or hardcore road and track performance”. The options list rivals the Porsche 997-series 911s’ on sale today, including carbonfibre racing seats, a Heuer chronograph clock, and even sat-nav and iPod connectivity. Starting prices for the Singer 911 are around £120,000, but the company suggests over £180,000 could be spent if the customer has a penchant for ticking boxes.

+1 Nicely written, i've the same feeling about some cars, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione for example fits perfect in that category.

Not at all. I was referring to something street legal with 577 hp that is driven frequently in canyons.
