Thanks for the feedback, Supersevenn. I appreciate the input. You have good ears! I had been out of the car for a while and felt very rusty that day. I need less work time and more track time!!

Hi. I have an 87 Cab too. Great car. Automotion has the roll bar for it that you can take in and out.. I may get one some day.

Nice driving! I have an 87 Cab. and love it. Not using to potential yet - PCA DE courses require roll bar for Cabs and not quite ready to do that yet. There just nothing like that Porsche exhaust note - beautiful music. Keep the vids coming!

I never had a lag @ 4K as you do, but the headers and muffler definitely woke up the motor. The butt dyno tells me about 15 hp was gained. Nothing huge, but the throttle response is WAY better, and the engine certainly breathes freer. The weight reduction in the rear was another bonus. You'll have to get Steve to program you another chip if you make the change, but I highly recommend it. Good luck!!

Hello, very nice car. I own a stock 87 carrera too. I noticed you don't seem to have the dreaded 4,000RPM lag that plagues me. I have a chip from 911chips, but other than that it's bone stock, including the original CAT. There's only 50,000 miles on it, so I doubt the CAT is too clogged. Just wondering what kind of power increase going to headers and a 2/2 M&K gave you. Is that what eliminated your powerband lag?

You want the porsche formula: slow in, fast out.

Great pictures, great sound, great car! The 911 Carrera 3.2 was always my favourite Porsche. Had the opportunity to drive a Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet with 458000 kms! Engine was still going strong, the car is no sold and new build up and runs in Spain and no longer in Switzerland.

Wow that exhaust sounds insane!

Thank you! That is what I was hoping to hear. I figured it was just people who didn't know how to drive one having the problems. I have dreamed of owning a 911 for over 20 years now. Thanks again.
