Oh... and that exhaust will be for sale soon. It's absolutely beautiful sounding. However, I'm working on trying something else out. I have that disease, I think. I can't leave a perfect thing alone.

I think DHinkle likes it too, doesn't he?
We'll make that video, for sure! We can run the two cams inside the car and also shoot in HD outside, then splice them together to be something really cool!

Thank you so much, Connor! I can't look at it without:
A) Wanting to drive it so hard...
B) Wishing that my old wheel pinstripes on the rear matched my new ones on the front. Easy fix, but it looks weird to me. Nit pickin!
I'll be over soon to take it off your hands. Those pics look great! The scenery there at your house sets it off. Heck, I don't even have a garage! (Fixing that very soon). That's why it's always somewhere else!
As for the other comments:
Alzilla, Martin, Alex, JC and Pablo - I really appreciate the kind words. Makes me all fuzzy inside.
AudiRS - It will be converted to a race car, yes. Having the able hands and genius minds at European Auto Garage (racer Karl Poeltl's & DHinkle's shop) right over the hill, I've got to do it. (That's not a silly plug. Poeltl is a genius. He just set the lap record at Sebring WAY higher than it ever was before.) However, I have some time to just enjoy it for a few months because I am still healing from total reconstructive shoulder surgery. I can barely move my arm in a shifting movement. In other words, I'm going to putt around town for a while until my shoulder heals up and the screw comes out.

I hope you have quick recovery with your shoulder!

Connor, I saw on Flickr that you took more pics today. Gonna link 'em up here?
Jack, I'll be up there in a week and we'll shoot that vid. You'll have it on here stat! Until then, here's how the car sounded with the other engine and same exhaust...
YouTube - Porsche 997 exhaust note. Synergy Racing exhaust. No cats. VIR. Fabspeed headers. Center exit 3.8L.
