1983 Porsche 911 SC review from North America
"These cars are exactly what people's idea of owning and driving a Porsche is, and then some"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at this point other than having to replace the battery (which was around 2 years old).
General comments?
This is a Euro Spec 911SC and is still fast and takes corners like a go-cart.
I have taken a couple of 2-3 hour trips without feeling any of the normal fatigue you feel in other cars.
The seats and the ride, although sporty in nature, lend themselves to long distance driving.
I have "surprised" a few people with the speed of the car. It is a beautiful sight to see the look of astonishment on their faces as they finally catch up with me only to find out the car is 22 years old and no mods!!
