I was on the fence between a used 911 or a new Cayman. The full warranty on a new car was tempting. They both have certain aspects that look better than the other. But I knew if I got a Cayman, at some point I'd be wishing it was a 911, and the fact that the 911 has back seats was convenient. I thought it would take me a while to find one suitable in my price range, especially since my preference was aqua blue metallic. But the first time I searched, I found the perfect car in Dallas with only 23K miles.

I've never owned a vehicle that I would discuss in a thread like this. None of them were capable of running out of sight in a week.

I had to go to Raleigh to find a metallic blue.

Moto, do you ever attend any of the rally's or the Whiskey Bay PCA?

Damn, that's impressive. Most guys I know with terminators blow the rear end once they start making good power. Knew a guy that had a vert with a tune, ported blower, pully and some other bolt ons that was running high 11's...then he busted the rear and let it sit for a while before fixing it and selling it lol. Think he actually broke it twice.

12.06 run

I know what you mean, I worry about that everytime.

Even though I got my Doors blown off this was my fastest time.

Don't get me wrong though, definitely wouldn't stop me from buying one assuming I had the means to do so. Probably the only Ford I'd drive apart from a GT40.

Very nice run. Not having much knowledge of what those cars run, that trap speed seems high for the time, probably could have pulled out a lower ET. Good chance we have some mutual acquaintances too...

Nice Terminator. A Terminator and a Coyote are the only OHC Mustangs I would have.

I haven't attended any PCA events yet, though I did join. I'm really limited in what I can do because of major back problems, so I've only made it to a few brief track sessions at NOLA Motorsports Park. I've been out of town for the past couple PCA events at NOLA. Hope to eventually hit some of those and would like to put it on the track at Barber.

'90 GT 5.0 Wrapped the speedometer that went to 140. Probably got it up to 160 and it started to feel like it was floating.

Whoever has that blacked out M3 in BR did a 60-_30 nice pull with me yesterday on I-10 down in Mexico.

if I had the cash I would. I kart a good bit when I'm back home and I'll go up to Sebring for the LeMans race (Missed this weekend ) or with a few friends for a PCA track day.

One of my friends brought his 1000hp 996 turbo out that way. Thing is ridiculous.
