How can you expect a lawn event of real owners to bring in a 917 or a 2.7 RS? That is like me going to Italian Day at Larz Anderson and being pissed off that no 288 evoluziones showed up. I think it made the event more fun to have real owners with their real cars, regardless of how stock they look (you must be truly jaded on porsches to think a built motor Maritime blue 930 is stock). Hearing about real life experiences for people who drive their porsches everyday can often be more fascinating than a lot of museum shows that have stunning, never driven pieces that will go back to their vacuum sealed garages. You want R Gruppes or GT1s - visit the Porsche museum, not a 35 dollar lawn event in Brookline. I would venture that the variability you claim to see in Mustangs stems from that car being cheaper to purchase and modify. You call the owners at the show smug (to me they all seemed like nice people who were happy to share info about their cars) yet you complain about only seeing 1 959 - sounds like you're the smug one to me. Oh, and I apologize for my RS 3.8 not being "exciting enough" for you, I'll try to bring something better next time. Because we all know that the point of the car show is to show off cars, and not to meet other owners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
