Re: New Car
4.8 or 5.2 then. 5.2 sounds more like what I had in mind - sorry Mike. Disappointing you again :lol: (I also never knew the 360 was 100kg lighter than the 355). 5.2 was the Porsche claim to 62mph in the ‘First Drive’ story 4.8 was the actual Autocar test time to 60mph Bit slower than the lighter rw...

Re: New Car
Blimey
I didn’t realise he’d bought the girl’s version!
Still a 4.8 to 60 though
All the extra gubbins pegs it back to a ton and on top speed though

Re: New Car
1st one is a Carrera RS though - what does the normal 964 Carrera do? Sub 5s with 260bhp and one really fat bloke less than Rev’s 996 over 200kgs less, and lightweight flywheel coupled to the G50/10 transmission with closer ratios, asymmetrical Limited Slip Differential and steel synchromesh..... 😃...

It was more to show the strong acceleration Rich of 911s with similar-ish power to weight Sub 5s with 260bhp and one really fat bloke less than Rev’s 996 A 250bhp Carrera with skinnier rears and more weight than Rev’s 996 will be...

Re: New Car
Also had 5s in mind however I don't want to anger Mike any more than we have already. Not angry James..........just disappointed ;) Seriously though, putting 300 bhp onto the tarmac with barely a squeak from the tyres and buzzing off into the distance has always been the rwd 911’s party piece Allow...

Re: New Car
Iirc Autocar test two up with a full tank of fuel (I haven't read the scan to check yet, sorry Mike!). Different test surfaces and/or weather comditions? Never mind that though, how come the Carrera 4 does 15% more mpg than the 2 ?! I'm genuinely surprised that people are surprised about a 911 sett...

Re: New Car
Add me to the surprised pile. I always assumed the performance would be a little dissapointing, or at least no quicker than my m3 and having a bigger engine making less power. However a couple of hundred kg less weight, better traction and a more slippery shape make more difference than I would hav...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Yes, they really weren't powerful enough, the m3 at the time had been out four years and had 340bhp, the m5 of the era had 400bhp. I think they're cool and sound nice, and would be something fun to tool around in at a couple of grand, but not at £10k! Yes, they needed to make the ZT385 into full sc...

Re: Your fleet running reports
À la Evostick, old Sierra was pressed into prom taxi duties tonight. Surprised at the interest in it by people born when it was already out of production a decade. Dropped off next to a new M4 and Bentley and it reminded me of the old EVO Capri/Zonda photo when came back to the car

Re: My B-I-L
he isn't talking to MrsREV because she wouldn't let him tag along on our anniversary night out (meal and a U2 concert). Could you not have just made him go to the U2 concert so you didn't have to? Possibly a bit of a severe punishment for his cuntery but tough justice may be the shock he needs. Yea...
