This thread has me acting like a schoolboy again, that was a very long time ago!
I certainly can't remember getting this excited about any Porsche I had. I grew out of those anyway!
Meet 0904.......
Looking good.

Well got insured on our GP for the weekend for causeway coast show. And I am so impressed. The car far exceeds my expectations.
Braking, cornering, gripping, acceleration smoothness of it all to, and the crackling of the exhaust. Makes my cooper S seem poor. And the number of people looking at it was crazy.
Is it just me or does the lack of weight loss on the Gp seem to be down to the fact that it has alot of additional strengthening built in around the rear struts, the rear brace and the boot lid hinges?
And the rear suspension changes seem to have had nothing but a positive affect on the car.

GP 1986 delivered today. will post my "review" in a few days. so far all good, though really hard to tell when having to keep under 4500 rpm. but: the ride feels INCREDIBLY smooth. wife is really happy too. will post more soon. but GP1986 has a really happy owner. oh: the photos do not do the car justice. honestly. its a very good looking car.

Tapping away salocin!!!, this car does not need the aftermarket stereo i put in, the sound of the pops from the exhaust is enough!!
And the whine from the supercharger goes mental at 4500 rpm really screams!

I haven't driven a GP but I followed one.
Here is a video of us going down a back road in California. I would say that they must be fun to drive.
