You Know You Want To: 964 Turbo
Modern 911s too safe and boring? Fear not, Harris has found one that'll scare you silly
There were other detail changes to the chassis and brakes, plus a set of rather snazzy two-piece Speedlines that would corrode within 100 miles of a suggestion of rain.
By 1994, the 911 bodyshell was nearly a quarter of a century old, but the 3.6 looked so damn good that the producers of the film Bad Boys chose one for Will Smith to roar about Miami. I watched it again the other night, and I think I reached the slightly shameful conclusion that the 3.6 is one of the few cars I could buy on looks alone. This being the case because it wasn't much cop to drive.
Massive understeer gave way to shocking oversteer, it had tragic turbo lag and the airbag weighed so much you could feel the inertia in the steering column. But when it was on full-boost, and you'd been brave enough to hoon through the front-axle push, it was one hell of a challenge.
But mainly it comes down to looks and build quality for me. These were assembled to withstand years of abuse, and those wide arches, the move to 18-inch rims and the slightly lower ride height over the 3.3 somehow tipped the 3.6 into car porn territory. Which makes white the ideal choice.
Any car vendor with the word joker in its name clearly requires further investigation but if this car stacks up, it will be good news in the long term.

It's $105,000 and this happens to be one of the fastest production cars on the planet. Zero to sixty in four seconds, sweetie. It's a limited edition.
You damn right it's limited. No cup holder, no back seat. Just a shiny dick with two chairs in it. I guess we the balls just draggin' the fk along.

De-chromed and de-spoilered = delightful
Any non turbo with the whale tail also all wrong.;)
One was metallic pink, one metallic purple. At the time I thought they were impossibly naff and hardly gave them a second look. They are probably not quite out of their awkward period yet, especially in those colours, but they are not far off.
Will take mine in mint green.

BUT I love the car and have been looking for a good one for ages. LHD please. Probably the most aggressive looking 911 Turbo they've ever made.
And rather controversially, YELLOW please.
ADORE IT.
And utterly rabid. Loved it.
