The new 911 is a heavy car. Gotta carry all that liquid coolant around ya know! My 70 S although it only makes 210 hp, only weighs around 1,800 lbs. The new cars are carrying the equivalent of a Harley around with all those comforts like A/C, cup holders, extra golf clubs, Rolex watches and the like. I wooped a$$ on a new Carrera rag top one day on the Causeway. Had to wave him up just to see his face! He paid 80K for his. Mine is 33 years old, paid 10K, 8 years ago, and just embarrassed him. He's probably got a Hummer now. Don't mess with the TT it will make you think he stole your keys. As with all Porsches...see ya at the first turn.
