Outlaws

A fellow PCA member here in Dallas owns a 1955 Porsche Continental outlaw, and he realizes that the historic value may have been diminished, but feels the performance is worth it. My 356 was bone stock, and it drove and felt like a car from the 30's. Even smelled old inside. And with an antique Volkswagen suspension, anemic Volkswagen engine, and ridiculously skinny tires on 16" wheels, it was actually scary to drive.

As far as giving a 986 the outlaw treatment, I don't know what that would involve. It already has a decent suspension, power, and wide rubber.

Just sayin'...........
