Very interesting stuff that I never new.
What ever happened to Bob?
HP is HP I think the trick is how it is applied and how it is blended with the torque.
We no that to much and you spread the diff and twist things off.
Carl has a claim of over 900 hp for the salt flat run but that car is also drilled full of holes to make it light and I think he welded gussets in the diff housing.
We have a guy who has mounted a vett trans.
So with all the experience today I do not see a problem of getting a 200mph car.
I wish I would have been involved with some of the earlier builds but I'm just a 3yr old.

A thread like this deserves at least a casual mention of 'contact patch', energy recovery through judicious use of Venturis, both things that remind us that YMMV.

Ahh yes, I've been to DEVEK Days. In 2001, one year after I got my GT, I drove from Phoenix and was halfway between L.A. and San Francisco when my LH brain went out. Marc Thomas was gracious enough to leave the Friday evening DEVEK Days welcome reception and drive down to Kettleman City at 1:30 in the morning with a spare LH (compliments of Louie Ott) to save me. We made it back to San Francisco at 4:30 am Saturday morning. I was a bit fuzzy for the days activities and I'm sure Marc was too, but had a great time.
I have much respect and appreciation for what Marc did. And those DEVEK catalogs with all those cool parts for 928's were leading edge at the time.

For the OB sticklers, whats the difference between a 78/79 and a Euro 4.5 78/82? Not much.
I think the OB stuff is fun, but only in the silly is fun sense. Nobody would call and order a part for an OB without clarification.

I think my first was '99 and I didnt even own a 928 then...my wife came along so she could see what i was getting into.
I drove in 00 and 01 if i recall.
Thats when/where i first met you and Adam....Kieth and Dan...Louie. Theres a few of us that have been around a long time in the "community"...pretty cool actually!
That link to the web board goes way back as well!

I really enjoyed this thread, both the humor but also the links. These cars were being built when I was a teenager and were on "the list" ever since I saw them. My strongest attraction to a particular car is still its appearance, the fact that these cars are also great underneath is just frosting (on an upside down / inside out cake...car...something?)
Humpty will be back on the road soon, thanks to Carl, Roger, Ken, Paul and Hans (oh yes, there will be missiles...oh yes), Shane, 928Specialists and the often frustrated shop who also supports my other expensive habit. He'll be well on the way to the great car that was already pretty darn good when it came to me.
Something tells me they didn't mind too much driving the wayback machine again...probably needed to be checked for something, make sure there wasn't any weird vibrations or glue in the flux capacitor...or at least...the wrong glue.
