You are in the Porsche 911 Forum. Your Host is claires
| I have always enjoyed allowing interested friends to drive my '06 911S ( with me in the passenger seat). Last summer I handed the keys to a 'car guy' friend and off we went . As it was a nice day, we had the roof down. He behaved himself during the first part of the ride as we enjoyed a winding rural road. We entered the Interstate to return to my house a couple of exits away. He ran my car to red line in the first few gears as I became alarmed at the rapidly approaching truck in our lane. I glanced over at the speedo and we were past 140 mph! A car was passing the truck ahead . I yelled to slow down but he continued to gain speed and squeezed between the two vehicles just before the car ahead passed the semi.( he called it a Mario Andretti sling shot pass ) I now was screaming to slow down. He grinned at me with a demonic smile saying the car still had plenty left in it. He gradually slowed down to 100mph and thankfully came quickly to our exit. He thought the whole thing was funny. I wasn't amused. He scared the s... out of me. I now think twice who gets my keys. | |
My name is Laszlo Schmidt, my uncle Schmidt the hardest working engineer at Porsche, was overshadowed by Ferdinand. His greatest creation they did not let him acknowledge, or have, so he arranged I should get it into the USA. As I knew there were 3 made, and only a true engineer can fathom what the venturi effect, velocity stacks, unlimited gas, 24v spark, euro gears, 1840 lb weight, same bore as todays cars, but shorter stroke and high RPMs are truly capable of. Fuel injection and smog doomed this cars production, performance doomed its existence. I am getting old, the car has been sitting with 39,000 km on the OD, but bad belly rust prohibits any quick solutions. Porsche says it does not exist, which is what they said in 72, because this car can and has beaten the pants off of any RSR Carrera or ST/GT made. This is no hoax! I need help authenticating this car. I have been E mailing anyone I can for help, with no success. I have the COA all #s match, I am the 2nd owner, the motor is just as my Uncle made it in Stuttgart. Please check this same title at my space, or Weber Porsche for Pics. PLEASE HELP!

Replying to: laszlos (Jan 02, 2009 1:29 am) Your uncle, the hardest working engineer at Porsche, was understandably overshadowed by Ferdinand. He built an incredible car and Porsche denies its existence. 3 made, of which you have 1. You're old. You want to authenticate its existence. Hrm.... At what point are you going to ask for my social security number and banking information? |

I just picked up a 911, 2007 with 4000 miles. I'm having trouble about 40 % of the time shifting into second. Feels like it's not syncing and I get that small grinding feel. Is this common, am I doing something wrong or do I need to bring it in to get it readjusted?

Guys, an unfortunate event this morning, I was beat on a straight by a lamborghini... I'd be more accepting but can't tolerate this. I feel my 997 is just not up to the challenge and am thinking of trading it in for the turbo. Please advise on your thoughts.
