Hi, went for a spin in my brother-in-laws 1995 rwd 911 (the last of the air cooled) cost him a bargain £18,000 ( his words ) yesterday and yes it looks nice, goes well, as it should with around 270bhp and feels well built but their was something missing- it just never felt like a supercar.
The windscreen is very upright, the interior was small and not very special and you certainly do not lay into the seating position like you do with the GTA but the most telling thing for me was when i took him out in my GTA after our blast in the porsche.
Rob had never sat in a GTA untill then and as soon as he sat down and shut the door he said "wow this is sporty" on our drive he kept comparing it to his car even the performance of my Atmo! . When we got back and I parked behind his 911 he asked me how much i had paid for my GTA and when i said £2,200 he went all quite, Then after a few moments he said "John that is some F**king car". Alpine 1....Porsche 0
never really ever thought that i would own a gta, but am i happy that i do!!.
