I've had a soft spot for them since they were new. My buddies mom had a second year Starion Turbo, it was such a nice car and it comfortably ran with the other top Asian 6 cylinder sports cars and stuff like the 944s.
As much as I love the look of the Conquest it didn't sell well so the parts aren't available. It didn't have the performance to back up the looks. Plus early turbo cars just had such bad engine management technology that they are a pain in the ass to diagnose any issues.
I wouldn't want to own and maintain one but I love that they existed.
Fair. I've heard similar before. They do make a good platform for a modern drivetrain swap though.
Yeah, it's weird putting Mr. Rogers in a "porn" thread but....

Nice. I thought I heard a turn back to 6cyl in Euroland as the long term data on the forced injection 4cyl actually had more pollutants or something like that.
I’d love to see the flat 6 make a return to the 718/Cayman

I think that's very pretty, but at $1.7M it should be.

I wonder what insurance would be? Assuming you don't have points.

Either someone died or we've hit peak P-car market!
Speaking of white, just saw this beauty in my club’s parking lot. The lady who drove it in looked just like Judge Smails’ wife and she’s knocking back some Pinot gris (penis grease - where have you been tonghands?) on the deck. Built 2300 of these.

There was a teacher in my high school that was a slimy, greasy, white leisure suit wearing Guido type who wore a pound of gold chains and jewelry and couldn't help himself from staring and leering at the girls that had one of these. We had a snowstorm that ended and it got warm and sunny right after it stopped snowing so he drove to school with the top down. The dumbass parked next to a big, dirty snowbank so I filled the car up to the window line with that snow. He about melted down when he walked out and there were a bunch of girls laughing at him.
I’d love to float through the Vegas desert on a velour couch with white walls, ashing my Maduro in the center tray, while contemplating a night of valeting that thing with perfectly folded Jackson’s in my palm and a song in my heart.

Some people have weird fetishes.
