Default Hwy 1 North of San Francisco

Cold and on and off again rain. Took a hard drive up Hwy 1 San Francisco to Bodega Bay. Almost zero traffic
All alone ( or someone would have lost their lunch ) and hammered the living crap out of my car. Once again, thank you Greg Brown,

it never missed a beat. This is where LS really comes into play as the exist speeds are wonderful.

I love this car. And I think it is Kyle's absolute favorite.

It's beautiful and runs/drives so fantastic.
If Porsche had built this car, the 911 series would certainly be gone, today!

Congratulations are again in order.

This car is a testament to what a dedicated owner can do when he teams up with talented developers and mechanical geniuses to bring a great car back from the dead.

More photos and information desired...

Keep going an hour up HW1 just south of Sea Ranch. There is a short stretch of banked esses where you can see oncoming traffic far ahead. It has to be the best 1/4 to 1/2 mile of public road anywhere. You can absolutely flog it. My brother in law with his Cayman and me in the 928 would wait until the coast was clear and hit it. It's in a bit of a mild ravine. Being away from California in really miss HW1 and you are lucky to be driving that beast!

What is 'LS'?

Certainly it's not a Chevy engine designation.

I had just gotten a physical from my Doc in Mill Valley and got a 100% good to go. I was on my way home and the weather was cool and brisk with a little rain. I thought way not drive over to Shoreline Hwy ( hwy 1) and motor north. Hardly a car on the road. Just magical. LS is limited slip in my brain and I meant to write exit speed for this is where all the big torque comes into play. The "big blacks" GTS brakes) haul it down without fail. It's a drag race to the next turn and repeat!

Mike Musto has written the article for Panorama with all the specs. It should be in print soon.

Don't forget the PCA parade in Palm Springs 6/21...

Can't wait to see the Pano article Van. I love those kind of drives. Nothing like it in a 928. Really fun in my tossable, lighter 78 too.
