So I finally decided on the car that took the place of the 540i/6.
I test drove a nice Grand National and thought the power was amazing but trying to navigate a turn with that much power and torque was not going to happen. My next test was a Mazda RX8. I loved the bold appearance of the RX8 with the aggressive fenders and hide away rear doors. The 1.8 rotatory engine torque left me wanting more. The handles of the RX8 were very impressive but the lack of horse power and torque would leave me wanting more. The next car was a nice 2003 S2000. This was a really impressive all around car but me being 6ft 3inches and 235lbs seemed like a tight squeeze.
The last test was a 1977 Porsche 911s that only had 84,000 original miles with an impeccable maintenance history. By far this vintage Porsche out performed all cars previously test driven. This car felt like a ready made track car full of power and torque. Words cannot describe the feeling of this 911. My track e30 equipped with race suspension and a powerful swapped 3.5 liter motor does not compare to the feeling of this 911. Here are the pics from me leaving with my new 911!
