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!
By: PA28140. on 16 Dec 06, 23:25:22
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.

The traits you refer to are the product of drivers unfamiliar with the rear weight bias of Porsches. If you do decide to buy, I strongly suggest you join the PCA and attend their Autocrosses and Driver's Education events (DE's). There you will learn from an instructor just what these cars can do. Once mastered, there's nothing like pushing a 911 to the limit.

I am looking at an 87 Cabrio to buy. I have read alot about bad traits in these cars such as off throttle oversteer, severe understeer, bump steer, going off the road backwards. Looks like a solid performer to me.. Opinions please??.. Thanks.

Thanks 87carrea911 for the perspective, much appreciated. I'm just out researching second hand 911s 1982, 83 (the really good SC years it seems,esp for fuel injection) and the 87 to 89 3.2L (the really good years esp with the G50 transmission). Thanks again for your feedback.

Engine is original, never been opened. 115K miles and still going strong. You are correct, the rod bolt issue has reared it's head on some 3.2's, that's why you hear me short-shifting at 6200 RPM. Going to see how long I can go before a rebuild.
By: OnTheLibraryComputer. on 11 Dec 06, 05:52:35
Are the 9mm conrod bolts still factory on your 3.2L? I ask this because I read in W.Dempsey's 911 engine book that after the 10mm conrod bolts of the 3.0L SC, Porsche then used the 9mm (same as 3.3 Turbo)on the new 3.2L Carrera in 84 - 89. Dempsey has noted that SOME 3.2 engine's conrod bolts failed due to too much driving over or near redline and that updating to stronger after market ones could be the go. All the best.

Car is stock, except for the mentioned mods. Trying to keep it as original as possible. Car has been re-chipped to match exhaust and intake, though.
By: WadeWortley. on 09 Dec 06, 20:21:21
Nice video! Any suspension mods? What about a computer chip for this car..??
By: rokjoke. on 04 Aug 06, 17:16:23
Nice. This is the kind of stuff I like to see. Good sounds too.
