1980 Porsche 924 Turbo review from Sweden
"A pure racing machine for a nice price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I blew the first engine. Had to change to a newer one. The old engine was not so good at the beginning anyway.
General comments?
The car is fast very fast and is easy to tune up for better performance. With the old engine I ran 0-60m/ph in about 5.5 seconds. This newer engine is going to push the car away much faster. So it's a nice car, but very hard to drive if you are too throttle happy.
My car spins from the 1st gear up to the 3rd gear if it's a little wet on the ground with both tires.
The recaro seats are very nice.
And the kick from the Garett k26 turbo is really great.
