Default New Owner Intro

Hello everyone. I have been on Rennlist for a while, but mainly just lurked. Last week I found a clean 1985 Euro Carrera and jumped on it. Details are SW Chip, Dansk/MK Exhaust, Lowered, 7's and 9's Fuch's, Sport Seats with 88K miles. I am loving the car and am starting to dread driving any of my others. On to the pics!

Nice looking ride - if I had the chance I would have went with the Euro version myself.

Looks good. How's it drive? With it that low, what has been done to adapt to the height? It would need larger torsion bars and some shock work to keep off the stops. Also, bump steer will be a bear if the spindles weren't raised. Maybe that's already been done? If not, it won't handle like it should and you'll be leaving performance on the table if it was only lowered and nothing else modded.

That's the second Euro 911 I've seen in the past week that has NA bumperettes. Is that something that is typically done when the car is federalized?
