Yeah Greg, your car is gonna be off the chain!  LoL LoL LoL

We all know these cars aren't 911s (they wanted $80/spark plug on my '73 911!!)...but they are light weight and can be made to handle. I'm aiming for a Pro Touring/semi-German look for my car. I'd like to get a set of 17" Boxter or 911 'Twisties' for my car eventually...and tighten up the suspension. I'd be interested in taking a ride or checking out some of the members cars who have upgraded the suspension & take some notes for my Standard Beetle.

Bugaru - thanks for the info so far. That makes sense with the front end of these cars being so light...It's not so fun understeering or bump steering  :rolleyes: if the front suspension is too twitchy.


 Talk about High Speeds, and High Speed Handling. Here is a pic of one of my other slower cars.  :icon_puke_l:

I saw some old lady driving a Porshe the other day, I thought to myself, poor car. Must feel like those pair of dress shoes that you never get a chance to break in because you wear them for funerals and weddngs.
