Talking My new track car (73RS look - carbon fiber)
Well, I just bought a sweet new track car (street legal) to replaced my burned 951S. It weighs 1,890 lbs based on a 73T with a 73RS motor (2.7L magnesium with MFI, racing headers, 9.5:1 CR and 240hp with 8,000 rpm redline). All racing Bilstein coilovers (no torsion bars) Charlie sway bars, etc. Engine and tranny are visible from inside car (through lexan window). Only glass is windshield (rest is Lexan). Here are a few photos:

That's awesome Grant, I had seen pictures of that car before and thought the window in the backseat area was very cool. Enjoy it. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?

I saw that car at Hershey this year. It was the talk of the show. I remember the seller was asking around $32K at the show, what did you get it for?

Very Very nice car!

John - I wish I got it for $32k, but it was a good deal more.
