That thing must be a nasty drive. 280hp in a 2500lb body, damn fast even by todays standards.

How much you got?

Those are the 924's that're gonna go up in value... one-owner special construction.

That one was actually free, all you need to do is go back in time and be a very successfull factory driver for Porsche and they'll give it to you just like they did for Mr. Bell.

The editor (passenger) seems to be somewhat concerned with Derek's driving while Derek casually tears around the track chit-chatting about.

Notes:
2:04 - a look of concern
2:50 - corner of mouth twitches
5:50 - Derek, "oh shit I missed the apex" - he's retired and out for a fun spin and he's still concerned about the apex - lol
6:16 - editor starts to breathe again
6:46 - Is Derek out of breath just a little?
7:14 - Derek, "Its just like you say to another drive, you've just gotta drive that" sounds just like Spinal Tap "well, now this amp goes to eleven, cuz that's one louder than ten"

There's a CGT for sale on ebay.com.au for AUD$65K.

Great video - shame Derek's car fails... gives all those wanker's another reason to knock the 924...

Wow the gts looks incredible.
Couldn't stop laughing when the car wouldn't start tho

These cars will only go up in price so u couldn't go wrong with one in the long run, just the upkeep I guess
That one for sale in NSW looks good, really looks mean in black, but yeah it is a bit on the high side regarding its price.
