To Porsche owners/sifus,

I`ll be getting a classic porsche 911 turbo in a few weeks time. It is my
all time favourite porsche, it`s a classic, year mid 80`s... generally, i
prefer classic porsche bcoz they have the true `playboy` looks. Current
911 are still gorgeous, but i just fall in love with the classic 911.. it
really has the porsche `beetle` look!!! i love it!!!

anyway, i wish to know, if i get stucked in a traffic jam in KL, i.e
jalan ampang, would it be overheated? and how to prevent from the
overheating problem?

btw, this classic 911 will be my 2nd car which is only for weekend..
maybe i might drive it to work 2 or 3 times in a week..

cheers!

MAF144, how's your CLK performing?

911 Turbo eh? Nobody drives one in traffic jam. You can only see Porsches
during weekends, very rarely during heavy traffic conditions.

For one the clutch is heavy on the turbo, to drive it in town
is almost suicidal, but with a 4 speed gearbox you don't need much
shifting for it has abundance of torque...it is also a very expensive
model to maintain, best go for a Carrera or Targa but Targa are known
for leaky roofs....

ps. also one of my favourite models ,Also ny aim to get one soon...
How much are you paying for it??
