my 951 pics :), in Corpus Christi Options

Some pics of my 951.

I bought this 951 from a Pelican member in May. I've been driving it quite a bit. My trip started in Denver, then Indy, St. Louis, Pensacola, New Orleans, San Antonio, Corpus Christi and now Houston. It had 94k miles on it when I got it - and I've done about 4k so far. I'll continue driving it until I get back home to Indy in September. Til then I'm having a blast.

It was a great original/stock car when I got it and my goal is to keep it as close to stock as I can, but make it as usable and enjoyable as possible. My few changes are: Porsche CDR220 radio, new speakers, hidden hitch so I can take my bike(s) with me and next is a Koni yellow setup with 968 sway bars. That's about it. The hitch can come off and no one will ever be able to tell it was there.

Anyway, here are a few pics I took last week in Corpus - ok, well it's 10, but they're small (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Justin,
I love these for a daily driver. This is the second one I've had. I've put quite a few miles in 951s both city driving and hiway driving. The only odd thing and I got used to it very quickly is how close your head can feel to the top edge of the windshield. I can't remember if my first one had power seats or not, but this one does and it seems that I can find a more comfortable angle of the seat bottom.

They get great mileage, too. I'm getting around 28mpg on the freeway, and around town is reasonable, too - unless I spin the turbo up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've never had a 968, but it was on my list when I went looking for this car. I started looking for a good normally aspirated 944 with a $5k budget. I couldn't really find one that I liked so I started looking for 951s and ended up nearly doubling my budget when I found this car. I found a few 968s that were convertibles and decent miles, but the prices are still a bit high. Coupes seemed to be tougher to find (unless they were beat up) and still pricey as well.
