I just bought a 328 with a M3 rear spoiler and wheels... WHEEEEEEEEEE I dyno'd it at 300 at the crank, and the new front spoiler should give another 60WHP. Hey where did my basketball go? Oh snap, look at that! My exhaust just ate my basketball!

I meant I don't feel like I have to justify it more than I already have. I just love cars, especially the GT3. I think most people appreciate the pictures and details on the cars and RS-y bits.

It would appear you have the wherewithall to do such extensive mods. So why not just buy an RS?
Oh and the cars in your sig are not all yours? Isn't that what a sig is about, your cars past and present?
All the best, enjoy your car. It's a great GT3.

Thanks Ranger! Your GT3 was part of the inspiration for mine. I understand why you don't like the fake RS badging. I am only trying to make it better both in performance and looks too. The other cars in my signature are not mine, but I spend quite a bit of time with them.

Why not upgrade to 997.2 RS? Several reasons. I have put a lot of time, work, and money into it. I am not capable of getting all the speed out of it. The new one is a facelift, and mine looks strikingly similar. It actually looks better in ways. Sharkwerks can give it 50 more hp and higher revs than the new one. It is my first Porsche and I love it!

Good eye! I fitted the seats before the roll bar. The space behind the seats became somewhat useless with the fixed back carbon seats.

I apologize if I've came across as a brat. I just love cars! The E550 is a coupe, and it is a surprisingly wild animal with traction control off. I managed to get the Cayenne Turbo S stuck in the snow this last winter. It stopped trying to spin the tires when it got too hot.

You are referring to the 3.9L conversion, right?
Yes the 3.9L Sharkwerk's conversion would be an outstanding improvement mod for the .1 GT3/RS.
If you're thinking about it, done. Just do it. Can you imagine, what a sleeper!

Omaha --- regardless of the graphics and our opinions, you have a fine car. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, the Sharkwerks 3.9 would be incredible! I have some other non-car priorities right now. Also, I would like to rack some miles up before tearing the engine apart. What do you think the best time mileage wise would be to do the rebuild?

Cardomain is kind of a cheesy site. It is easy to set up a nice web page for your car though.

Did you see the photos from PSDS. Were you perhaps there with me Dr. House? Tell us about the Cayman Cup cars.

I see! I did refer to them as mine on a couple of the pages. I corrected it. Thanks JAMS.
