So long as your pants are on at the time . . . probably not

Welcome Chris.

I almost purchased a 996 (boring) before I got my Saab (ironic!). I'm waiting for the 997 or the Cayman.

Cayman will be a fantastic car to buy in about 2-3 years as they will suffer from the 944/Boxster disease. Plus as an air-cooled Porsche fan, they are about the same size as the pre 993 911's, which I like.

And I'll probably get banned for this but as a shiny car guy, all they need is a sunroof to be perfect.

I chose the Boxster because it was at a price I could actually afford (I was shocked), and it was a convertible (which I hadn't had yet). I love the styling of the Cayman, not to mention it has nearly twice the power of my poor little Boxster. If I can pull off the twin turbo setup I have planned for the Spring, hopefully that will help (after finding out that I need an "S" to do the 3.6 swap, I decided to take matters into my own hands). Full boost at under 2500 RPM is just insane to me....even if it's only 5-8 PSI.

SWEET! I get to be the first one to say it!


CHRIS -- why are you planning on adding more power? Can you already maximize what it has out on the track??? Sign up for PCA potomac's HPDC next April, then sign up for a couple DEs. Your car may night torch hopped up Civics pulling away from stoplights, but you should be able to dust almost anyone in any car once you hit the twisties. It's all about knowing how to use what the car has!

Welcome Chris and Andy! Sorry so late to the party.

[Nordschleife]

Thanks to all, and welcome to Chris!


DR, David D., John, Scott, All:

Anyone interested in a quick drive in the Woodbridge/NoVA area this weekend, weather permiting?

I'll post something in the Fun Runs section of the website. Saturday morning?

DR, you asked about my tire sizes: 185/65-15 fronts, 205/60-15 rears. Thanks for the tip about rubber washers on the K&N air cleaner screws!

If I'm lucky I'll be out back all weekend. SC needs some preDE TLC. No I'm not washing it, though I might roll it outside tomorrow if it rains Swing by if you get a chance.

[vascott99]

Not sure if I am the Scott you are referring too...Kids games and my parents are coming over....How about Sunday....

[Nordschleife]

Yep, that was you. And DR and John Hill and David D. But any others as well.

I'm with you when it comes to kid stuff on weekends.

I suggested Saturday because I didn't want to conflict with the Maryland Bridges tour already listed in Fun Runs section. But if Sunday is better, I'm game. Just looking for a one or two hour blast around the area, back in time to catch the VA Tech vs Boston College game.

Look in Fun Run section of website in couple of minutes -- I'm r-e-a-l s-l-o-w on the keyboard, an O-ficial Graduate of the Huntenpeck School of Glacial-Speed Typistry.
