Yes, perry that is good money. From where to where do these cars go?
How does one get into such an experience. Do you lease a truck and find a Nice/Decent Dealership and say here I am. I'll deliver these babies like my Doctor delivered me!

I ran against a Viper Le Mans at a recent top end run though he was in a different class. My 330HP v his 500 or so. Into a headwind I got 241kph, he got 281. With the 928 next to the Viper in the parking lot it's surprising how similar the side profiles are. The driver said the brakes were useless and is ordering new discs and 8-pot calipers from Chrysler's racing division.

Like I said "the brakes look undersized" I didn't realize they were that useless. Shame, Shame on Chrysler for producing such a powerful car wiith such Wimpy brakes! ( Sorry for rear ending your car but, I thought I'd be able to stop )I wonder if one could sue due to this neglect of a Powerful Stopping Feature which only would be totally expected from this car. Hmmmmm
