itsujack Posted 4October, 2015 Report Share Posted 4October, 2015 I can help you with the windscreen....Thanks M, but I decided against it and bought the C2 instead. I do still dream of a stripped out speedster style 964 build in the future... Would feel exactly the same from the drivers seat.......stock yes, but not the type of build I was thinking of??

hugh Posted 4October, 2015 Report Share Posted 4October, 2015 An auto C2 came on the market for $115k this morning. I I then had a massive hissy fit. http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1993/OAG-AD-10474949/?Cr=2What are these people smoking? Seriously?

Seriously? x2. i would have thought the people who like this kind of spec could easily be served by a cheaper, much newer, tiptronic boxster or something?

poli84 Posted 5October, 2015 Report Share Posted 5October, 2015 My introduction to 964 driving was a month long lend of my mates 964 C4 Cabriolet and it was enough to hook me. It is not as nice as my Coupe (condition and modifications are in play here), but was still a sensational drive and a car that attracted a lot of attention. Certainly enjoyed driving the 964 Cabriolet a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBRUT Posted 19October, 2015 Report Share Posted 19October, 2015 I really want to like these, but can't get there. Looks like a hunchback. Just saying.I have one. They are a very polarizing car - love/hate, no in-between.They are a cracking drive. If I had to sell all of the toys the Speedster would be one of the last to go.

If I had to sell all of the toys the Speedster would be one of the last to go.Bit off topic sorry.............but were there other modifications aside from body work to make them drive differently? Just curious as I would have thought they drive not too dissimilar from a wide body cab of the same era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as I would have thought they drive not too dissimilar from a wide body cab of the same era? Mine is narrow body (as were most 964's Speedsters). From memory, they had the same chassis reinforcement as a cab, but with the RS trim and seats, no back seats, no solid roof, lightweight soft roof and lightweight clam shell the weigh about the same as a coupe (ie. quite a bit less than a widebody cab).

OBRUT Posted 20October, 2015 Report Share Posted 20October, 2015 A mix of cosmetic (low windscreen, clamshell) and weight saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
