Here's Perry951 ridin' on my D-90's.


Her's my car with Perry's ATP's on it. Man what a difference wheels make.


Here's a shot of Perry with the D-90's


Sorry about the pic quality, I had to reduce them a good bit to fit here.

BTW-Perry951 got some nice video that he'll post later, including one of his "dance with the guardrail (almost)". I'll let him describe that one for you. I'll just say that I don't think he's going to buy a set of Kuhmo's anytime soon.

I wonder if that guy with the $5000 968 is interested in a 951? I would trade in a heartbeat, what a dead sexy car.

Hmm, the wife says she like the 968 better, maybe I should start looking!

Man, I wish I had gone. I was still unpacking from the move. My wife wouldn't let me out to play.

As others have said - WHO WON???

I don't know who won. I left after they paired off the top ten Porsches and Vette's. Maybe Tifo knows.

That 968 was very nice. Gray interior, sportseats, carbon fiber dash trim, LSD. I couldn't believe he got it for $5K. I'd a bought it in a second. I'll post an interior pic later.

Guys-

My friend bought that 968, except it was NOT $5K, he spent $8K. Still an awesome price for the car from the pix he has sent me. He picked it up in Chicago a few weeks ago.

Those shoot outs were always fun to attend. From the sound of it, I would guess Perry got close to guard rail at the cross over? That was always the section of the course that would get peoples attention if they tried to go really fast.

Cheers,

OK, I didn't see this thread before I posted on the other one.

I'm waiting on the results of the shootout from Walt. Should get this am.

Riff, TJ didn't tell me personally what he paid for the 968, we got that in a 3rd party format from Eric. Sorry if the number was off. Still a killer deal at that price, IMHO.

Wow Pete. Your car looks good with those Rivas on it.


My car looks very flat in that corner. That suprises me that it is that flat cornering! Thanks for the pic! got anymore of it in action?
