Talking Saturday Cars & Coffee at SharkWerks

Now that we have settled into our new facility, the gang at SharkWerks recently decided to have an impromptu "Cars & Coffee" meet with a few of our Northern California friends. We also had a couple of special guest appearances thanks to the green Singer 911 and a certain orange Gumpert Apollo.

Parking before the storm...



3.9 vs 3.9


The singer911 arrives and in our favorite green:



In she goes:


The rear along with a center exit exhaust- just like another green car we know:


A very sweet air-cooled 3.8L engine:


The guys like it as does the Gumpert:


A lot of fancy work in the front area as well:


Rob (the owner) shows off the singer911:



Everything open on the singer911


I'll take it...


Boys like the gumpert:


A 997GT2 motor being worked on (not this day) and an almost finished 3.9 997GT3 on the lift:


Misc:


Customer waiting area:


Some SharkWerks products mixed with our other favorite parts:


And outside we have a daily driver, 996TT cab tipronic. A 660hp 10 second one...


The 1200hp "Mayhem" from EVOMS


996 3.9 vs the Gumpert...


Some Italian trash



A few others start to show up:


A few more modded turbos outside. 700hp 997.1TT, 600hp 997.1TT Cab and a 2010 997.2TT which Todd/we had just tuned a few days earlier:


And a Noble...


Time to leave for a short drive to an event...


A quick video of the cars leaving the shop (thanks Drew!) ...

The two green machines together along with the gang...

Old lights vs "new" old lights:


Rear ends:


Rob (singer911), Sharky and Todd (EVOMS):


A closer-look at the SharkWerks "Got Fin" T-shirt. No really, quite staring!


Dan (SharkWerks) taking a breather in the Gumpert:


No dog left behind...


Thanks to everyone that came by and to our friends at Singer911 and EVOMS of course!

Looks like a quality gathering, you guys have the best garage content anywhere!! I really like the Singer911, albeit at some hefty $$$. I think with turbo cars going as fast as they do, so effortlessly, there is going to be a big push for NA engines (as we see on this forum) and restomod cars like the Singer. Smaller, pure, fun, and takes more effort than one hand on the steering wheel with a coke in the other (ch-style), which is a good thing. Gumpert looks like nothing from this planet, insane. 996 GT3 is just classic, it looks so light and pure for sure!

It really was a fun time... That singer is something special. I sat in it for 10 minutes straight just looking around. So much detail.. wow.

Man, that Singer is a gorgeous bit of kit. Looks even better when sitting next to the Kermit 3.9 GT3RS.

That being said, I'd sell everything I own to have the 996 GT3 with the 3.9L kit in it. I'm absolutely infatuated with it.

That Maroon 996TT is classy, I love the Red F355.
