Shark Werks Goes on US Tour with a New, Zany-Colored 2011 GT3 RS
#73
I know we laughed our butts off at every Wal-Mart (and middle America has a lot of those!) at every stop
You bet! The one and only Bob@Autoconcierge... he's coming for her (and me no doubt for putting the car through hell!) shortly.
Thank you pal!!
Thanks pal... it was amazing. Truly!

Day 5 California
The additional power and responsiveness after the serious work was completed at EVOMS was put to good use- in the rain. Nothing like a welcome home rain shower upon entering California. Who says a GT3RS on Pilot Sport Cups doesn't work well in the rain?
One thing is for sure California has its fair share of good roads and beautiful scenery too:
Once we got to LA I had trouble finding a good welcome sign but I figured a Panamera Turbo would suffice and show that Hollywood was near by...
Before getting to the grapevine we couldn't resist a bit of Roller Coaster action:
We didn't start the fire:
Toilet break. Was it "The Bomb" burrito from last night?
Another hour another beautiful mountain. James can't help but look in awe:
James is a fit lad and any chance he gets to stretch he does just that:
His iphone getting a work-out as well:
This right here along the I-5 freeway probably isn't the nicest site of our journey. It's pretty much the smelliest too:
Almost home now...
What a trip, what a country, what a car! I still cannot think of a more fun way to break-in one of these Metzger GT3 engines. The entire package was comfortable, reliable and just downright fun to drive across a good portion of America. We even managed to get our Stage 1 Performance (Exhaust and EVOMSit) kit completed along the way so it wasn't all "play".

This is just a short test of the incredible 2011 Porsche GT3RS brought to EVOMS for some intelligent tuning this weekend. While trying to test blending HD and NON-HD clips, we thought you'd all like a reminder why small cameras, "do" need a tripod. Hey, how about that "Sharkwerks powered office chair" dolly shot, huh??

More to come shortly. A great car and great to have Alex, James and Dan come through Arizona for "drive thru" tuning!!

Thank you! We were home on TS the entire time thanks to 3G

Final Dyno Run Video
SharkWerks picked up their 1 of 4 Gulf-inspired 2011 Porsche 997 GT3RS and via Route 66 made a bee line straight for Tempe, AZ. Why would they do that? Doh!!
In the quest for more horsepower they pitched their Tee-Pees by the Dyno at the home of the EVOMS intelligent tuning, or "E-V-O-M-S-i-t" for those not in the know. With a strong baseline 424rwhp (450hp crank) and 270 torque (317TQ crank), Sharkwerks' goal for Zuccone was to utilize his tuning prowess along with a SharkWerks exhaust and eke out even more power. The mission was accomplished with a live tune garnering an additional 16rwhp and 13tq to the wheels on an already highly strung GT3 motor and all on 91 octane. As well as improved throttle response left-foot braking was enabled with even smoother drivability.

Now that car is back at Sharkwerks for additional development... stay tuned!
