I got a ride in this car,
and after we got back , Greg said my face looked white,
the car is frightfully fast.
My heart was beating rapidly as well, this is a serious adrenaline rush

There's knowing smiles, all around, when someone decides to get into the passenger seat with Rob.
Not only is the car frightfully fast, but he apparently drives like he's only got a couple of days left to live. (I refuse to ride, with him....way too many people have come back looking like they just saw God.)
It's a very "cool" car!

And, now that we have a clutch that works like a stone stock street clutch and holds 800 ft lbs, it's only going to get faster....and scarier.

This photoshoot happened back in March 2019, I confess I'd forgotten when it was coming out. Looking forward to seeing it myself!

Way to go, Rob! Now I'll have to go out and by an Excellence. Been a long time! Have they fixed their 928 buyers guide issues yet?

I just got my copy, today.

Close enough....a bit of confusion with a ITB car (which was also here.)

And, of course, I now have a "butter smooth" clutch.

We used the "supercharged car" conversion factor....

Actually, that's where the article got a bit confused. Andy's car was here at the same time and apparently the power numbers from that were quoted.
