My wife used to own a 911s. She raced it quite extensively around the
east coast and had one hell of a good time with the POC's. She did
say that many (large generalization...) of the guys in the club seemed
to use the car as some sort of ego boost. The best part she recalled
was the oppurtunity to drive a car that was fun, fast and "mostly"
reliable -just had to be a monkey or something to change plugs...
The after race parties wern't too bad either..I understand. She did
say that "Porsche People" partied better than Triumph people....
I race a Triumph -just the complete opposite of the Porsche.
Mechanically, a long stroke big bore tractor with primitive drive line
and suspension.
Most TR guys and gals scrounge around for parts and left-over's and
re-use old bolts and parts....(cheap).
But you know what? I just love my TR and race the heck out of it and
pass Porsches around corners all the time.
