Just wondering how those air cooled 911 (1985-1988) compare to our beloved solstice.
Facts are that i own a supercharged base solstice and i also love thoses old 911 (but never driven one). the point i am trying to make here is that it is a royal pain in the ass to lap my car around here with requirements for roll bars,broomstick test, +being a member of a club (porsche or bmw)is required around here to attend track days at the better race track.
although ddmworks and other vendors makes great parts for our cars, the aftermarket parts available for the porsche enthusiast does not compare at all as it is so huge, easy to obtain bolt on roll bars in different models from different vendors, lots and lots of big brakes kit. another + when you look at a modded porsche, it almost always look like normal and factory looking (even with race seats,roll bars loud exhaust)and thus seems easier to sell when the times come compared to a modded solstice.
thoses old 911 does not seem to depreciate much nowadays due to old age compared to our roadsters. they even seems to appreciate in value for the last couple of years... ???
All in all, just wondering out loud if i should just sell the car and buy an air cooled 911. i love my supercharged solstice and i am not into the autocross stuff but man , i so wanna do laps regularly at an amazing track round here.
i am torn between those options. the hp to weight ratio are similar, both are excellent track performer...
so if anyone here has driven one and can comments on the pros and cons, your welcome to chime in
