Brett, if you mean the place on the way to the old General Store, my wife and I stopped in out of curiosity - it's a "drivers club" that owns a stable of a dozen or so Porsches; owned by a Frenchman who also owns the store. As I recall, you pay membership of $3500 to $4000 to belong, and that gives you driving time in the car of your choice.

Wow! That's a great idea, though I'd think if you had an expendable $4k, you'd probably have your own car to drive. I should have snapped a picture or 2 of them.

Yeah, but for $4k would you be able to have a stable like that? I'd love to take the turbo for a spin ... BTW, the Speedster and 356 were replicas.

can anyone put this to RED BARCHETTA by RUSH...? Id do it but its in Quicktime format

best to turn DOWN the volume on this one as unfortunatley its mostly wind noise. The video was taken from my camera, not the best quality and the mic was hard to keep shelterd. I could have kept the camera IN the car but it looks cooler from the outside and the mirror helped keep my hand stable. Darien and I got our own "private" fun drive ...we did that 4 times.

Anyone care to share their impressions of Herr Kuhn's twin-turbo creation? Looks very nice from the picture posted so far.

Just the tail end of a VERY long and impressive line.

Tony, great to see you at SITM again, right AND left seat are always open for you. Nice pics, videos are real good too. That video with Scott and Jay looks pretty tame, just out for a Sunday ride??? Hope to make it out to Sharktoberfest this year, maybe come into Vegas and grab a ride with one of the three SC Vegas cars.

Anyone who has not been to SITM is missing a great time. Dave and Jeannie put on one great event, make everyone feel at home!!

He had a fuel pump problem on the dyno so the dyno run only went to ~4k. Torque was 460-something and I forget hp on 9psi. He has replaced the fuel pump and added more timing, but has not re-dynoed.

*EDIT* It was the Mercedes SLR
those cars were probably these guys
