It amazes me to see the level of mods and tuning going on today with Porsches. Wow! 500-600 bhp 997s!

In the olden days when I had my 1970 911T (two solex carbs) the 'common man' could actually own, drive and maintain a 911. These days it seems it takes a large garage to store and work on the car or have a crew of machanics you employ, a detail shop, a trailer and hauler, and, most importnatly a seven-figure income to fund it all. Not to mention the indispensible membership in "The Club" as well as concours orgs etc., all this in order to be a part of the Porsche scene! Sadly, that's a lot of work.  :'(  But I still love to look at 'em!!  [thumbsup] ...just wish I could still drive one...

That is pretty good...you should see what Horsepower Freaks (Portland, OR) are doing with the BMW M3 (E46 body style '99 - '05)...on stock internals:  600-1,000hp.  Always liked the 911.
