I was okay with the color until I saw the picture of the interior. Blech.

you should consider calling that car the "Uber-banana" instead of the "Tigershark" if you get it.

I like the seats. I might have to paint the dash panels black to tone down the interior.

I was looking at bee-like creatures for names. There is yellow jacket, wasp, and hornet. Banana is out.

My mind spins when I contimplate the numbers: under 3000lbs with driver, 313rwhp, 355rwtq, and 50/50 weight distrabution. We exchanged pm's, and he told me he looked into it and a new 930 Turbo clutch ($1500 +/-) and new Turbo (under $2k) and it'll be around 420hp and 470lb/ft AT THE REAR WHEELS. I'll stay at 313/355 for now, thank you.

The 60-100 numbers for this car must be insane. From what I remember, the 951 is geared more towards top end.

60-100 in stock form is quick already. The turbo absolutely pins you back in the seat. Up to 3500 there is nothing, then......BAM! Lots of lag, but that makes it more fun.

I can't imagine what that amount of power feels like. Stock is fast enough for me now. Have you driven one yet?

The guy who lent me the 928 S has a 1986 951, but I haven't driven it yet. He has 3 cars ahead of it on my ride list: A Testarossa, a Mondial Spider, and a Esprit Turbo.

That is quite the collection. I don't think I would turn down a ride in any of those cars.

You might want to test drive a few 951's before your final decision. When I was looking I found quite an array of driving impressions from car to car. When I finally found a good one, I could definitely tell the difference.

He owns a car lot. Alot of very nice cars. 8 Porsches, 3 Ferraris, 2 Lotus, bunches of BMW/Audi/Mercedes. This yellow one looks very sweet. I like the color.
