Default Damn, I love my shark!

I drove the GT to work today. Longest journey I've taken since I installed the x-pipe and aeros. I went out for lunch today and picked up the MPH magazine (nice pics of Dennis' 928!) and some silverstars, and I cannot begin to describe the pure joy I receive every time I get in and drive that car. Pure joy.

Since installing the X-pipe, the throttle response is greatly improved, and the car feels incredibly fast! I think the old cats were really holding the car back. I'm sure the aeros are good for a pony or two.

Andrew,

you better hope that guy in the Bimmer does'nt ding your door.
Your right about the x-pipe. I find myself driving with the window down even when it's 20 degrees to hear the exhaust note.

I actually tried to install them this morning (LOL!), but then I thought I'd wait until I got the silverstars. Should have updated pics on Thursday - monthly beer night!

There is just something about driving a 928 which just makes you smile ...and you either get it or you do not. I feel sorry for those who do not.

Agreed! It's always a wonderful feeling when I get in my 928 and start it up. Let the excitement begin.

I agree with RDS. I would worry the whole time I was parked there. I would find another place to park. (and then some idiot would park right next to me as if the two cars were bound by laws of gravitation, and ding my door anyway.)

I can relate, Andrew. I had to take mine out again today for a spin.

I'm expecting a ride in your GT on Thursday.

You are soooo right about that!! I find that I want to keep the stereo off or way down so I can listen instead to my Shark!! I get to drive mine the rest of the week cause my son's car is in the shop & I gave him my 325 to drive! I found myself earlier today trying to think of a reason to leave the office to go somewhere! Darn, one of my employees offered to go get all of us lunch! And if the sweet sound of my new DR Xpipe wasnt exhilerating enough, the new "getty up and go" most surely will put a big grin on your face!

That's the ONE area where our CEO didn't skimp when they built the new headquarters. BTW, he drives a Bently Continental.
