Carl,
I had no idea, after all these years! Is it a daily driver or a track special? Judging from the options, more than just a track car. Are they offering a club sport yet?
When I was tracking my 911 years ago (pre wife and then kids...) , the addition of one piece racing seats was a game changing upgrade. One of many non stop upgrades... Have Pcar ceramic brakes become more resilient?
I am very envious. Enjoy
Hi,
In my "youth" I used to drive rally cars and the odd bit of sprinting / hill climbing (I had a 300 BHP Lotus Sunbeam for a while, it never went it a straight line!). The last road car I privately owned was a Porsche 944S2 after that I had company cars ... some where fun GTi's and Scooby STi ... but these days the policy is focused on emissions so that means having to opt for diesel fuelled cars. My current car is Audi Black Edition A3 TDi (circa 180BHP) it's basically an S3 but with the TDi engine ... sporty-ish handling but does not put a smile on my face.
Well to cut to the chase I have the option to take a cash alternative rather than having a company car ... so this time round I thought "Why not?" my wife agrees so I am.
The 714 Cayman will be a daily driver, that I will also track from time to time ... my wife's car will be used to go to the DIY stores and lug boxes around
.
PCC brakes seem to be a lot better now both on feel and durability, estimated life 90K road use, 3K heavy track use.
More on this when I reply to Ian's post.
Regards,
Carl
