If you look on You Tube you should find a video of Cliff leading the pack when it is poring rain. He has all the fun!

Thanks Neil. I am very happy that I decided to build the Devin Porsche. It is great fun to drive.

Functionally is it about the same as a 356 that weighs less? Or is it more different than that?

Hard to answer. It feels lighter and the weight is lower. The cockpit is small. Before I put the rubber air dam on it was lifting the front at high speed. I suspect that the 356 has much better aerodynamics so the Devin is less stable and struggles for top speed. The Devin handles very well, accelerates better and stops better. The general feel is like a 356 but definitely different.
