Looks very nice... I gave it a good looking-over at SFest, and there is little left to do before you can track it. Seat, harness, Roll bar, maybe a camera and you're there.

 

No kidding

You can not sell the red shark now, you've finally achieved the perfect scenario. Shark for shows, shark for track and probably one of the best DD's you can possibly want with the M3. Just be really sweet to your wife and convince her that she's made all your car hobby dreams come true with this trio.

Oh and how did you get plates for the black beast?

 

Don't bother with the Dremel, just take out the whole thing frame/flaps and all. Easy to do, I did it on mine.

Stop by my place on the way up so I can take it for a spin too

Hey Brian,
Congratulations, I saw it at Sharktoberfest 08, and it is even more impressive in person The damn thing looked fast just sitting there at 928Intl. It has to be really exciting taking it on the track Good luck

Its GUTTED..big time...but still has the stock battery (48lbs) and all the tar sound deadening.... I'll post some pics.....it does have a lexan rear window that rattles something horrible.....and the doors are cut open quite a bit....I was told it was 2705lbs before they took out the headlights and welded them over (which weigh about 29lbs) But that was with probably a 10lb CF seat too...

I am working with the shop to cut out the old battery box-spare tire well and moving an lightweight battery to the passenger side rear seat...they will remove as much sound deadening as they can using the dry ice technique...

What really impresses me the most about this car is how FAST it is....I mean DAMM its got power for a totally stock S4 motor with just exhaust mods....and boy does it sound sweet when you get on the gas!!!!

It is registered in CA, but is due for a smog check which it would never pass.....so it will have to be trailered...however I am working on a tricky solution to make it "street" legal

 

More interior pics...... The shop is going to weigh the car on corner scales tomorrow...so I will have a better idea where its at....

 

Congratulations!!! it looks "scary"!!

Rod

 

looks fantastic!

 

What a riot! I seriously considered a 928 for track work prior to getting my car. At the time a car like yours was not available, otherwise who knows...

The interior is like a blank canvas. You can outift however you'd like which I think is key when owning a track car.

The fender flares alone make it cool.

Good luck and keep us posted.

 

That machine has to be in the top 5 meanest-looking 928s ever - congrats!

 

First item on x-mas list... short throw shifter.

 

2nd item on x-mas list passenger seat. (he offered me a ride in it today and then said " sorry no seat " )

nice

i have to say i love the fenders on the car, i saw it at SF08 (front fenders with the headlamp delete i mean)

very cool, sounds like the perfect car for you

 

Greg
already has one from Carl, or at least I think it does since its red like Carls....but there is a bunch of slop in it....I think the front coupler and bushing are worn out..... The shifter will move up and down about 1/2"

Other than the slight slop...the short shifter is by far the best 5 speed 928 I have driven...once you get through the slop its very easy to shift.....and since this thing FLYS through the gears....quick shifting is a requirement!!!

 

for some reason Gerry didn't want to sit on the car cover???

However he did follow me up to the race shop to give me a ride home. so I owe him a couple for his trouble!!

Not too worry it will have seats soon enough....custom racetechs to fit my ever growing self....I like to call it "horizontally gifted"
