1979 Porsche 911 Turbo review from North America
"Race breed machine. Perfecto!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major other than the clutch was replaced. Typical high cost to operate a well tuned sports car.
General comments?
When the Turbo awakes this 911 turns into a true super-car. Blinding speeds observed frequently.
High quality interior and comfy seats. Real German craftsmanship throughout the whole vehicle.
Shifter feel is a bit ambiguous at first, but you get used to it in time.
A real eye catcher, too.
