I like the updated pictures a lot better. Adding the video was an excellent idea!! - especially like the sound of the engine! Well done!

Good looking ad. The video makes me jones to hear my car run... The vid will definitely help attract a buyer. That exhaust sounds sweet. Soon, all the Devek built cars will be gone. I don't know how you can try sell it.... I've regretted every 928 I've sold.
I've never owned a racecar, however... I hear racing makes you do funny things...

How much did the bid get up to last time? If you don't mind me asking?

Last round didn't go all that well....some interest but nothing serious and bids stalled at a shade over $10k....... I have lowered my expectations of how much $$$ I can get in this economy.....it really makes me pissed when back at Sharktoberfest 2006 I TURNED DOWN $20k....IDIOT.......oh well I would have had to hitch a ride home with Bill or Nicole......

After taking the pictures and video yesterday.....it makes me realize how nice sharky really is...... But the BWAAAAHHHHH of the widow at 6000rpm on the main straight is intoxicating......

Good luck Brian. It certainly isn't an easy economy to be selling in but there are buyers out there so be patient.

I hope sharky ends up in good hands, sure would be a waste otherwise.

As much as the $$$$ would really help things on the domestic front.....seeing sharky get abused isn't worth it......it will have to be a proper home....

I just looked at the add, it's very well done. I think you should keep sharky and sell the money pit
track car.

Looks nice. A potential buyer might want to know the mileage/history of the replacement engine (if known) before it went in the car 15k ago.

Brian,
Another thought re:keeping Sharky, Ask Tony if he would let you trade place's with him and take over the purchase of that Murf kit SC for $2800. Sharky is to damn nice to let go, and it'll make your wife
happy Then later upgrade to the Murf stage 3. Wait for the economy to come back and get another
track car later, a least you had a fun experience with a track car now.

Okay how much did the wife pay you to say that....cause I'll double it + zero %

Yes the widow is a money pit.....but like most 928's it takes a certain amount of commitment ($$$$) to get them up to standards....in the race cars....the commitment just takes a few more zeros....

Will I miss sharky (assuming she sells).....yes I will
