Clarkson at his finest.
Shit. Nibbles ate my damn photo of Joe Isuzu. (central to the joke)
I had to laugh - this reminded me of my high school pal's stopgap fix for my Monte Carlo's rear springs. I put 275/60s on the back but they were scrubbing the fenders. He cut up a 2x4 and jammed two sections into the coil springs for a boost. Total monkey engineering, but it worked. He helped me put in air shocks the next weekend.
SP has been irrelevant for a long time, until she too jumped on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon...
Oh, wait... Yeah, she's still irrelevant.
Okay, they *totally* ripped off the guys that made the short film 405 where the jet's nose came down on that clueless guy's Grand Cherokee.
I do kinda miss the dopey Hardbody commercials though. Esp the one with the guy fishing at the beach who hooks into a big one, secures the rod in back of his pickup and hauls it up on land only to find it was a nuclear submarine now beached. Epic.
Not politicians, old ad guys
And the Easter Bunny just shit in your oatmeal (No! Those aren't raisins!)
Buying new might be their salvation, seeing as Porsche has engineered most of the bite out of the 911's suspension. That's not to say you can't make it swap ends in a turn, but I bet it's harder to do it in a new rwd 911.
Promising future that lad has.
I'll bet that old V6 was pretty coarse on a course too :)
I don't think you can fairly compare the 4.6 to GM's 5 liter in terms of power output (I'm assuming you were referring to the 5.0?) because of the diff in displacement. The 305hp 3.7 makes it look pretty lame as it is.
I think some track time with a racing instructor familiar with 911s would be cheaper (and more useful) than a life ins policy?
Momentum and yaw acceleration are an ever *bigger* bitch.

Cool story. Sorry you got stuck next to the fat guy.
Uh, unless you're talking about the coming Bentley SUV?
I see exactly how this will play out. Some dude with the dough in the market for "a fast car" will buy the car, maybe even having some knowledge of Ruf and what he does to 911s, and on his first drive crank up the boost controller to "see what she'll do". After exiting the first turn he encounters backwards (by braking at the wrong time) and leaving the pavement, the car will come to grief, being stopped by a tree/telephone pole/boulder. Photos will undoubtedly end up on this site. Amirite?
*cynic mode off*
Meh. At 210hp it wasn't the most thrilling Six out there, but the 5M made it tolerable. What's cool is the 300hp+ sixes in the base pony cars make them actually worth owning now.
Douchebagginess.
I haz it.
At least you'll be judged by friends
If Zappa were around today he'd keep his Camaro in Joe's Garage.
Because it's implied?
