Buy a sports car is a dream that every car owner has but with the pricing of new high performance or super cars it is out of most peoples reach. Another option is purchasing a used sports car, this does have its disadvantages but at the end of the day you'll be sitting in a head turn vehicle. This is where the Porsche 911 SC comes into the picture.
It's a thoroughbred sports car with none of the modern driver assistance systems. It was built to be driven like a true sports car should be. Feeling the road through the steering wheel while the deep groan of the motor behind you urges you on to depress the accelerator just a little more. Hearing the turbo spin up just before the squeal of the tires let rip on the blacktop can give you a sense of impending doom.
Most Porsches before the SC were producing an average break horse power and other manufactures were producing nearly double that. The turbo is the breakthrough that they needed to put it the same class as the fastest sports cars of the time. This range was nearly discontinued but due to the turbo it managed to survive the chop.
The SC was one of the best looking sports cars of its time and to this day when most people think of Porsche they often refer to the frog eyed style. It may be an iconic vehicle but today you can purchase a used one for very little money. This is due to the large production amount during its five year run. Were as most of the previous models the production numbers was low and most are either in private collects or simple rusted themselves off the road.
Gearing down brings a few thrills to this vehicle, changing from third gear to second gear as you enter a freeway on- ramp you can feel the rear tires grip hard on the blacktop before hunkering down as the power is released. Your body is gripped by the sudden rush of g forces as it hurtles forward at a great speed.
The interior is simplistic and was geared to deliver only the essential monitoring tools to the driver. The seats hugged the driver and passenger giving a sense of safety as the speed increased. The steering was old school and no power steering was implemented. This gave a good feel of the road and how the vehicle was responding to different surfaces.
Although it and older vehicle the interior was one of classic design for the time and even to this day it shows the pureness of how vehicles were made. Classic engineering and simple controls made this one of the best cars to drive. It was to be driven without any frills and was for pure enjoyment of driving.
Sports cars are still to this day the ultimate goal for any car enthusiast. Driving in one of these iconic vehicles will always turn heads no matter where you go and will always be a childhood dream. A classic is also one of the best investments you can ever have and the most memorable of these is this epic car.
