US spec Carrera 2.7 article

Post by Nick Moss »

This article in Total 911 discusses the pros of the US version over the Euro MFI version. Is this the same car that has regularly been promoted here on DDK?

I’d have gone a bit higher with those side decals. Straight over the top of the door handles would look good.

Yes - its my car, they did manage to get some detail right, and some wrong, but hey ho - I didn't write it. It states the similarities and differences in the two versions - simple as that. I know many on DDK don't like it, but IMO it much better value than the Euro MFI version and for normal day-to-driving not having the extra 35hp isn't an issue, would be a different story if against the clock, but other than that both cars are close to identical with the US version having the ducktail as standard the Euro not. Must change the side decals but as bought from the PO, poss over the side windows....?
