One of the first things I take from that is how ridiculous wheel sizes and tyre profiles have become.     :huh:

Was the 1970 911 a wheelbarrow?

They only had about 130-160hp, if we looked back at the golf the mk1 probably has the equivalent of the mk7 spacer saver.

Huh? What about the 1969-71 911 2.2 S with it's 180bhp?

I don't know if you have driven one, but it feels zingier than the later 2.4S 190bhp engine!

(911 enthusiast over the last 30 years having owned quite a few & driven many more!) :)

It was just a quick google search, I'm by no means a Porsche expert but I'd like to give it a go with a 964 if I win the lottery  :wink:
