And why not a 912 Soft Window/coupe?

[Barwaut]

Ah, Milou, that's you... funny...

Always confusing those nicknames
Have fun with the car.

(didn't know it was for sale over here.... How did you like Bodegraven?


Once in a while we take the 912 for a trip across Europe.
Been in Switserland in 2012, when I am in the neighbourhood again, I'll let you know.

Properly driven and with the same suspension (sway bars, wheels, tires and Koni's) the 912 will blow a 911 away on a twisty road if you never get to a straightaway!

Jeff,
You are clearly delusional and apparently have far too many yes men surrounding you. You sound like a common used car salesman with crazy talk like that.
Name the place and time and we'll have a go at it.

Eric,
Not a hater; all things have their place in the food chain. 912's and Sportos are cheap, lobotomized fun. My wife and daughters love them.

[Chris Pomares]

Problem solved. A 912 POLO.
6 more in the pipeline.

Frank, you might want to take your head out of the oil tank and dry your sump. Let's see, 1967 912 vs 1967 911S. Stock for both (15X4.5 wheels, 165/80-15 tires, front and rear sway bars stock on the S, but optional on the 12 and Koni's) and the same ride height. I'll let you keep the bumper weights. I'm thinking weight behind the rear wheels makes a difference. If the curves keep coming and there are no straights, physics trumps here. Of course, I am a used car salesman...

[Frank Beck]

Oh my gosh.
It must be Ladies Day at the dispensaries and you overdid it.

Not. Even. Worth. Discussing.
But, have Nick give me his worst 67 S and we'll go to Streets for a Fri afternoon of open track.

[Chris Pomares]

Frank,
Yeah a used car salesman, right. Be careful what you wish for. My engine in my upgraded 67 makes 20 more rear wheel hp than a 67S makes gross. I admit I'm a average driver by race car driver types like Jeff and maybe you. On the straits I could pull Jeff in but in the tight twisties he is so damn fast it's scary.

[Jeff Trask]

LOL! Too many straight parts! Besides, we both know my main bearings wouldn't last the day at the higher than yours mid cornering speeds...

[Frank Beck]

Then you pick the track.

I have my calendar in front of me. I would rather do this before it gets too hot...

The throw down was a "912", not a hot rod.

[Peanut]

Someone record this showdown please. I'd also like the audio from inside Frank's helmet during the event, if that's not too much to ask.

I want the audio from inside Frank's head right now....
