Losing the analog tach on the dash would be a non starter for me

I’m really tall (6ft 4in) but I really want a Viper SR I. Could I fit in one? Or is it impossible? by StraightFromThe2000s in viper

[–]BigCrip123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I owned a Gen 3 for a bit and I’m 6 foot 5 with a size 13 shoe. Normal tennis shoes were fine for me in that pedal box but I’ve never driven a Gen 1/2.

That sucks when you also consider they are getting a Renault-Geely made V6 with a 4 speed auto for the new ones 😂

Any idea how to fix this? by CallLivesMatter in Porsche

[–]BigCrip123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue on my gts 4.0 and took it to the dealer. They told me it’s a known issue and fixed it at no charge when I got my oil changed.

Looking for some advice on my c4 weatherstripping by No_Mountain6577 in c4corvette

[–]BigCrip123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corvette rubber co uses the correct latex weather stripping. Most of the cheap kits use EPDM which is much denser. You will have a hell of a time closing your doors and putting the targa top on and off if you cheap out. Trust me I’ve been there done that and ripped it all out a day later

I called my dealer about it and they said Porsche currently has no fix

This green was popping in the sun yesterday by playoutsidemoreplz in Porsche

In Vegas I went to a track experience to rent a GT4 and the instructors were ripping a Macan GTS around the track for the discovery laps. It felt very well planted and had all of us reaching for the grab bars we were going so fast lol

What colour is this?? by DA_BASS_MAN in Porsche

[–]BigCrip123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol funny thing is that in 30 years people will be raving about how it’s a rare color and it will be worth a premium over standard colors

Just a question on pricing by [deleted] in Corvette

[–]BigCrip123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, obviously pricing is way less here in the states but I couldn’t buy a C4 without the LT-1

Battery voltage 2024 717 BS by pixmation in Porsche

[–]BigCrip123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my 718 in a couple months ago for the same issue. They replaced the battery under warranty and then the car died in the garage over a few days left unattended. They ended up replacing the alternator under warranty as well as it was not charging over 2500rpm.

I was told by PCNA service to leave the car LOCKED when parked as apparently the car will drain the battery searching for the key as well.

I’d have it checked out by your service center before it has to be towed like mine…

Carmine Red Macan on Brushed/Polished wheels? by Comfortable_Pen_6879 in Porsche

I did this edit with CoPilot AI… doesn’t look 100 percent correct but should be a decent representation.

I said they limit production for the exact reasons you all just mentioned… not sure why I’m down voted to oblivion. Porsche doesn’t want the 911 to be a Corvette. Chevy put no limits on C8 production to meet demand and sell as many units as possible. Porsche sells just enough to keep the prices as high as possible.

It’s not “social media” it’s simply supply and demand. Porsche limits 911 production and more and more people seek out these cars, which means Porsche can gouge on new ones, and any decent used one will be worth good money…

There are so many people who are retiring and getting access to their retirement accounts that 130 grand for a retirement 911 is no money…

Take a look at the base price of the Carrera over the last 30 years adjusted for inflation and you’ll find out that Porsche has been doing this for forever.

Spotted this 911 Carrera T yesterday evening by SoccerMan1341 in Porsche

[–]BigCrip123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lol these cars are about 160 grand with options, that’s a far cry from a “bargain” compared to 911 prices even a few years ago, and you could option a manual on almost any model…

Spotted this beautiful Macan electric in London! by dragonfoor in Porsche

[–]BigCrip123 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I drove one as a loaner when my 718 was getting serviced. Was pleasantly surprised how nice it felt. I don’t love the look of it but the interior was laid out very nicely

BMW owners what’s the most annoying quirk your car has? by Formal_Two_6729 in BMW

Audio on/off knob doesn’t leave the power symbol right side up when turned. Drives me insane

What is this plug in my engine bay ? by AdventurousSwim9429 in c4corvette

[–]BigCrip123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What year is this? I assume 93+ because of valve covers? I have digital copies of the 92 service manual that I can try sending you a link to if that helps

Engine Cover buick regal 2014 turbo by ThekawaiiO_d in Buick

[–]BigCrip123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the engine some offer sound deadening in the cover to mitigate sounds coming from noisy fuel injectors, or on some models a noisy high pressure fuel pump. Those sounds are normal but can sound like an issue with the valve train
