We don't know what we have yet....
The '78 euro car hasn't moved under it's own power since I bought it.
The "raceless" car...
We give a whole new meaning to HWFM racing.

Ditto. Coming over the crest at turn 11 at Road Atlanta gets just a hair of wheelspin.

James,
Yep, that's me, hopefully we can run into each other again soon. I'll be at the track more once I finally finish school next year. I just ordered a used diff from 928 intl w/ the half off, and I'll probably get Carl's kit once I have the cash and time to install it.

I didn't even think about you having ABS and not locking up the inside rear. When I upgraded to 993TT brakes I got rid of the ABS with the OB spindles.
