PAGE 12 PAGE CIMARRON TRAIL CIMARRON TRAIL WE MADE THE LIST!! One of our own member's cars made the official list of the "5 of the coolest cars at the 2018 Porsche Parade Concours! We are proud to share the article on Brian Thomas' yellow porsche. Congratulations Brian! Well deserved! 1995 Porsche 968 WHAT IS IT? The 968 was the swan song of the four-cylinder transaxle Porsche platform that started in 1977 with the 924. As is Porsche’s practice, outgoing cars are sent out with a bang and not a whimper. The 968’s 3.0-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder was a veritable factory outlet of torque. We’ll never see the likes of it again. WHY IS IT COOL? The styling updates that gave the car a family resemblance to the 993 and the 928 worked. It’s a very goodlooking car that has hardly dated an iota in a quarter-century. But continuing the theme of this piece, once again, it’s a unique color that sends this car over-the-top. It’s number seven of 10 U.S. 968 coupes in Speed Yellow. It works so well on this car, one has to wonder what 968 buyers were thinking back in the 90s. Just ten cars in this amazing shade? Seriously? And the owner still drives and autocrosses it. Check out the other 4 cars in the full article at: https://www.pca.org/news/2018-07-10/five-coolest-cars-2018-porsche-parade-concours
