Eric,
That white is beautiful. It looks like a pearlescent paint. It must be darn rare, I have never seen that in person. Btw, is that your garage? I see your nickname is NO-H20, but I see an H20 cooled Carerra GT sitting next to it!

Yeah its pearlescent white. I think its one of 17 pearlescent Porsches that year from the factory and tye only one with matching pearlesecent rims. Rare? Uhhh, does a bear go doody in the woods?

Mike,
Yes...... it's a very rare color, Pearl White 8 were made in this color. No, the 993TT isn't mine. both cars the 993TT & Carrera GT are owned by my father inlaw...he owns several Porsches.
Yes, my car is a good ole 78 911SC with a few personal things done.
hince the No-H2. username.
I'd take the 993 over the Carrera GT anytime..
Ciao, Eric

Oh yeah... it is a never ending thing.. with all steel fenders and alu bumpers still it is at 2257 lbs and that's with a 3/4 tank of fuel.
so by the time I go fibreglass it will be insaine. I still have ideas of getting a 79 turbo and gutting it out and turning it into a fire breathing machine.. that takes 110% of the drivers attention. I love the old cars..
MIke,
Yes, I have been driven it, nothing crazy as it has a 1k break in that isn't met yet. It is a very nice car not very good for a driver on the streets.. it's too low and well the full carbon understide would not like the rocks and road debre ( it's not really my cup of tea.)... I'd rather drive the GT3.. it a useable super car.
BUT! yes.... the CGT is a nice machine.

Speaking of the CGT, I went for a ride about 3 weaks back in the Pagani Zonda S and oh my lord was that car a real beast. My head was just planted to the seat, no kidding it was very very quick. There are only 2 so far in Singapore.

I have heard the same thing. A customer/freind of mine is working on making them legal for US market. Don't know the status since I have not spoken to him recently. His opinion is one amazing car. This is from a man who has driven everything and is a Ferrari, Lambo dealer with countless one off rare vehicels to his collection some on VBD.
