That 1966 Porsche 911 extremely badass even with the crap color.

Drool.

One of the things that is such a big deal with a modern Porsche Turbo is that ALL of the power seems to go to the pavement.

I did get a chance to drive a 95 993 a few times and while the interior was very confining (you are close to touching shoulders with passenger) I completely loved how much of a raw drivers car it was.

The 993 TT is the pinnacle of automotive design.

Completely agree. The car I have wanted for almost 20 years but too bad the price of the has blown up in past few years.

Got the car back yesterday. She is externally ready for the Power Tour.

Fuel Injection is next on the list and then stereo and interior finish.

Also adding a GPS Speedometer.

It's an electric brake master though. Sadly we don't have a choice on how it looks, but it works far better than any manual brake master, Vacuum or Hydrboost. I agree, kinda ugly though.

Ah that makes sense.

I was actually thinking about doing a hydroboost set up. Interesting that the electric works better.

So I might be stealing Sauto idea of buying a car down south and going and driving it back..I found a 76 K5 Blazer for $1700..400CI, NP 205 transfer case, old school 4 speed with Low 1 2 3

My dad had a 79 K5 with the 400 and turbo 400 trans in it when I was little and I remember standing in the front seat jumping up and down as he smoked the tires in front of the house as my mom stood in the driveway screaming at him to grow up

We used Hydroboosts for a long time. We really like them. But then this thing came out a few years ago and we haven't looked back since. Hydroboost works well, but the Electric Brake Master Cylinder gives that rock hard, new car pedal feel and delivers more PSI to your calipers.

You'll need to run a minimum 105 Amp Alternator for it. The manufacture suggests less, but we disagree.

The downside is that it's over twice the cost of the Hydroboost.
