A Porsche is a fine car that I cannot afford.

Older air-cooled 911s are not only quite affordable, but they are a LOT of fun to drive other than in rain or snow (unless you are Walter Roehrl). A sharp tool for the expert user, yet a noose around the neck for the overmatched pretender. That IMO applies to many areas in life.

You buy and live within your means. The good news is, there are plenty of fine amplifiers that is affordable, special thanks to the modern class D amps and these ultra affordable Fosi and Topping amps.

You tilted the camera angle to make this look a lot more dramatic than it really is!

I worked for the factory from early 1984-late 1988. These cars do not tolerate fools. The fools suffer.
The early 930' series made instant fools out of pretenders when someone would be on throttle in even a mild bend in the roadway at 4500 RPM & then jam on the brake when they became scared.
When you can launch a 930 on a wet tile floor without spinning the tires (within the confines of less than a full lane width inside of a building: so that you don't go sideways on your way out of the garage door opening): then you are beginning to accomplish finesse (I even managed to teach one other person to be able to do that).

WOW, What a classic photo! I bet the photos worth a small fortune alone.
You could probably buy a new small car from the value of that winged radiator cap !!!
That's when they knew how to design cars with STYLE !

Yes and Yes, 2012. I installed last fall. The Mazdaspeed they never built!

That's why it handles so well, it's effectively a mid engined car. You don't want a great big heavy donk hanging out the front.

Sweet. I have a stock ND3. A turbo would be fun

How KOOL, those were real cars, not the computers w/4 wheels they built today.

For you Mazda lovers. Sold the #12 a few years ago after I stopped racing. ND2 with the spec SADEV. The most fun car I’ve ever owned.

I too have a turbo Miata. Mine comes with chicken and rice soup. (Warming lunch on the turbo and oil cooler at the track.)

Opps, Naw I was fooled in the first picture. It's got a fake intermediate "firewall" for accident safety "crump zone" there I guess.

You doing "track days"? Maybe a great idea would be to install the strut tower brace I see on @carbidetooth car?
