Who were the guys that restored Chris Harris's green 911?
Francis Tuthill. They're predominantly a rally car builder and their cars are great for that, they won't win any concours events but they're not supposed to.
a white with anthracite wheels cayman gts
That will be OK, we can be friends, it's hardly a convertible Cayenne diesel. Though I'd say the manual 2.7 on the smallest wheels and skinniest tyres is the one to have.
All modern Porsches are for the customers you describe too.
Not all... The silly 4x4s and saloons fund the indulgence in the good stuff like the RSs.
And all 911s were about the triumph of good development over flawed engineering.
I know Jemery Clarkson says this, but it's not actually true, it's just a fun soundbyte. All engine positions have their drawbacks, I'd say a rear engine in a sports car is much less a flawed starting point than one hanging out over the front axle.
where the guy started from is pretty cool.
From a 964? I agree. They are cool, he should have just washed one of those and left it at that.
So you don't like it then?
I understand why people would, but, no, I don't. I would sooner sit under the stairs and poke pins in my eyes than spend fivehundylarge on one.
Hefty-

That too. Applies to most cars really.

I think the key argument would be that the Cayman never seems to be made (or at least not publicised) in a comparable spec to the 911. It's as if they can't afford for their mid-engined sports car to be faster than their signature rear-engined car because of all the effort put into arguing the rear-engine layout's case.
Assuming Porsche have actually never built a comparable pair, has anyone modified a Cayman to be comparable and testable against a 911?
Cayman 981 GTS: 3.8L, 385PS
911 991 GTS: 3.8L, 430PS

I dunno, I'm finding myself more and more attracted to the newer porkas. Was looking at a white with anthracite wheels cayman gts or something and it just looked good to drive. not stupid power, good balance etc. etc.
certainly not so vehemently against those singers though. Ok, a bit chintzy but where the guy started from is pretty cool. Who were the guys that restored Chris Harris's green 911? that seemed to be a pretty decent job.
Edit, I'm actually thinking of that porsche outlaw guy, Magnus Walker, not singer
