ADS911 Posted 23April Author Report Share Posted 23April Thanks Hugh, Im sure you well and truly know the build cost. It would be staying if there wasn’t other major acquisitions recently. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs77 Posted 23April Report Share Posted 23April Interestingly I have my black SC hotrod for sale too, very similar but a bit more street than track (interior wise and electric A/C the main difference). No takers as yet but no quibbles about the price for the car once seen and driven, except either can't raise the cash, can't get permission or it's too raw. I'm not too keen to drop the price to what people can afford because to build such a car is as you have pointed out quite up there. Also like you I have a 997 Turbo, in all honesty I think I'd rather sell the 997 than the SC now.

ADS911 Posted 23April Author Report Share Posted 23April Now that’s weird!! 🤣 Both cars are a great mix with their respective personalities a joy to experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs77 Posted 24April Report Share Posted 24April Yeah, combined you have it all, I thought getting the 997 turbo would be the right move to have as one car and it does fit the bill for most times out in a 911 for us, however the SC as it is now is by far the more fun and involving car to drive and in many ways feels sharper. The 997 has actually shown how good the SC is and it's true worth, so I for one am not that keen on discounting it just because someone can't afford it.

ADS911 Posted 24April Author Report Share Posted 24April The SC is certainly more engaging, rewarding and entertaining to drive at sane speeds in the twisties and hills. It’s not reasonably possible to push the 997 turbo to anywhere near its limits at sane speeds on the road. For a blast in the hills on a Sunday morning the SC gets chosen every time.

Philbee Posted 24April Report Share Posted 24April Hang on… engaging rewarding more fun & involving, sharper more entertaining…? So why would I buy a modern car?? Discuss…. 😊 @Bugs77 @ADS911 Oldskl60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs77 Posted 24April Report Share Posted 24April Because you think at the time it would be a good thing to go modern so you do, and it's very nice and has it's advantages, but in the end are always somehow lacking. There is the fact that to drive a modern 911 or even 981 Cayman S manual I have had, on the road to get your giggles, you will be getting locked up at the point it all comes together, you need to go to the track for that. I can drive the SC down to the bottle shop and it's an adventure of 100% feedback, mind you it's not your average SC and everything works, no classic car woes. The more modern Turbo is a much more relaxing drive, particularly stuck in traffic and the best looking I think a 911 ever got, strangely I'm happy going slow in it and can listen to my music, totally different car and am very happy with it because of that. I have to way up what I want most at this time in my life and into the future, the 997 Turbo is the car of the future, will be easier to get in and out of later so I thought I'd get a good one now before the majority are knackered, wouldn't get one more modern than 997.1 that's for sure (they still have keys you turn and handbrakes). But, I have found I'm super attached to the SC, I know every nut and bolt on that car and trust it totally. So why would you get a modern car?, no reason not to really but ask yourself if you like working on/creating something just that bit more special or simply caring for a classic as it comes or having a newer car and hopefully nothing to sort. The modern stuff is awesome but the level of performance almost pointless, for me I'm drawn time and time again to the build quality and feel of the aircooled cars over the "ease" and tech of the modern cars, but that's my problem. For the pure joy of driving on the road in anywhere close to a sane level of responsibility, you just cannot go past something of the likes of a well sorted SC hotrod, will go better than the fabled 911 2.7 RS at a fraction of the cost.

TDW911 Posted 24April Report Share Posted 24April 100% agree. Even my 993 feels too modern and insulated compared to my ‘76. Philbee, Oldskl60 and Paddy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedminor Posted 24April Report Share Posted 24April Everything true here - and as the owner of a g series 911 , former owner of a swb 68 911 and part custodian of a 356 - I agree with everything said here. but I think the demographic is changing- people coming from more modern Porsches think they want raw, involving and analogue ( god I hate that term) , but they want the gadgets and the blistering performance more. thats the only way I can explain why wonderful cars like Carrera 2.7s, several 2.4 litre 911s, a few 911s’s, are purchased, experienced, and then onsold a year or 2 later. It’s like the itch of having an earlier car has been scratched. well that’s my 2 cents worth crsedge and LeeM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
