A different perspective

[madkaw]

I was out the Midwest Z show here in Indiana this past weekend. Great show for those who missed it.

For some reason ,that I won't go into detail about, I had two cars at this show. My DD winded up there and I needed to get it home.

A good friend that owns a 911 came out to see the cars and so I enlisted him to get my car home. The bait was a free dinner and he would get to drive my Z!

I've been wanting someone to drive it while I followed along. I always wanted that perspective to see how my car looked and hear how it sounded going down the road. It was a 17 mile windy beautiful road and my buddy didn't mind using up all my gas slamming the throttle:) It was all good though, because I really wanted to see my car in action and really hear how loud it is-and it's pretty loud!!

I also noticed that I had quite a bit of negative camber on the rear tires after slotting my towers.

One of these days Ill do that again but I will have a camcorder in hand.

What year 911 does your friend own? What did he think about your Z?

Had someone do that driving my 620. Still waiting to set something up in my 240z, don't know what it sounds like when it's on the track.

Carl,

He has a 1969 911e- very stock, and he thinks all classics should be left stock.

He didn't say much as far as comparison. He isn't a Porsche snob either, just didn't speak of any comparisons. He did mention the whiff of exhaust and he thought I might need a wheel balance-

I've driven his car and its nice and a bit more refined, but that might be because it is stock Porsche

Interesting. I had a 1967 911S before I bought my first Z. I drove the Z for a few months before I sold the "S", and never looked back. Of course now, I wish I had just kept the "S" and stuck it away. But I'd still keep the Z and sell the "S". -
