ROAD HOG

How do you drive a classic roadster like the 2005 Porsche 911? In my case, very selfishly.
But hey, how often do I get to climb into a stick-shifter like this baby, and let loose? So you can understand why I didn't want to let go of the 3.8-liter dohc 24v H6 powerplant that revs up this power rider. Now,I can go into all the improvements the company worked into the 2005 Porsche 911, the new electronic technology and totally redesigned interior -- but really, I'm a bit too busy cruising to do that now. So look it up yourself, in photos, specs, reviews and other automotive info -- and if you start feeling like I do, there's financing info too.
