No power steering, no power brakes, 5 speed manual

Is it fast? Off the line, compared to modern cars, not really, no. You can't race technology, and this car is 35 years old, but it is driving in it's purest form. Speed is all relative anyway. I can cruise @ 150 in the 4-Runner and it's so quiet, smooth and disconnected that it hardly feels like I'm the one driving.

Driving the Porsche, you know you're going 150. The wind noise, the engine roaring right behind your head, the feel of the road through the steering wheel. Never mind the fact your ass is 5 inches from the road.

I'm a driver, I race karts and ride motorbikes, and for me it's all about feel and challenge, and that's why I bought an old(er) car. It's difficult to drive, the shifting takes a lot of finesse, but man is it rewarding. Also, if I bought a new sportscar, I would lose my license, because you have to crack 180 before they really come alive

And for the motorcycle guys, here is my other ride, a 1999 ZRX 1100

Spoiler!
