1990 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2! It has been well cared for, drives like a dream and looks stunning in Guards Red over Tan leather.
In terms of appearance, the new car was more slippery, and finally got rid of the dated rubber accordions that had been used for 15 years! Porsche also spent extensive time in the aerodynamic testing labs, making a smoother underside that reduced lift, and a movable rear spoiler that extends above 50mph. Yet Porsche kept the classic shape of the 911, changing nothing of the roof, fender or door proportions that were perfect from the original 1964 911.
The interior, likewise, is very classic and recognizable as an "air-cooled" Porsche 911, but had the great addition of a far better Air Conditioning system.
Mechanically, the new engine was much new, but fundamentally still the legendary and race-proven Metzger-designed motor. The displacement and power were bumped significantly to 3.6L, and 247hp, from the previous 3.2L/217hp (USA cars). History has shown these engines are extremely durable for 200, 000 miles or more, without internal rebuilding. It is also known to be very torquey, pushing you back in the seat with real authority.
The transmission is the continuation of the famed G50. The gear ratios for this car are perfect. Cruising on the street, going up and down steep hills in San Francisco, doing a road trip on the highway or hitting a favorite back road in 'spirited' fashion--it doesn't disappoint. Shifting also feels modern and not balky.
