1988 Porsche 911 Turbo review from North America
"Very close to perfection in a street/race car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain, clutch, and Turbo all replaced @ 100,000 miles.
Drivers seat side bolster wearing through from butt rubbing.
General comments?
Still the best looking car Porsche has put out in my opinion.
Not the fastest car on the road anymore, but still wins most stop-light races.
Handles like a truck at low speeds, she needs to get above 60 mph- which happens very quickly. I've had her up to 135mph on the way home from work, felt like sitting on my living room couch!
You get great feedback from the steering wheel and through the seats. You know exactly what the car is doing at all times. Not the car for the luxury car crowd that wants to be isolated from the road. This is a grunting, mean, snarling little beeotch!
