LO all, did anyone see this great program. I have to confess that untill recently I didnt really think too much about classic cars at all. This program had me glued to the T.V as very few programs do these days.
Recently I got a bit of an '80's when I was a lad bug' and ended up interested in classic Porsche of all things. Anyway I digress I know the program wasn't about Porsche but as I watched the program I couldnt help but think how the Esprit must have in part been up against the 944 or the 911 for customers and the performance particularly of the early models up to 2.2 turbo seemed right up against the performance of a 944'T'. The later ones were more of a 911 Turbo of course.
There is no denying the Esprit had something about it and I had no idea there were so many Esprit varients or how much they changed or how many years they lasted. If you are in to 944 or 911 I dont think you could help but have been fascinated by this program.
Back on topic for Porsche , one thing was very clear. The build quality of Porsche seemed to knock the Esprit for dead and I suspect it is also a lot more reasobnable to maintain an older Porsche than it is an Esprit. All in all admire them as I did after this program I won't be giving up my well made Porsche for that interesting but questionably made Esprit
