Seeing Bill's comments on the ride quality, I wonder if it could be duplicated on other 928's. I see mention of Penske shocks, but wonder about the specific settings and spring setup?
That's a lot of car for the money. One should factor in the tremendous amount of time that went into perfecting the setup when considering its true value. That alone is worth big $$$. GLWS!![Cheers](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)

well I guess I could gear up for divorce #4
I also would just about trade my left nut for that car, . . . except I think that is the good one
or maybe you will take my car and Deb on trade

Tim,
Sorry to see you're retiring from ORR (not about work, you deserve that). It's been a good run for you and Cheryl, and I wish you the best in what every
you choose to challenge next. Hopefully we'll still see you around the 928 world (I assume you're still keeping the 94 GTS). Hope you don't mind if I add a
couple of photos from the 2011 NORC.
In race trim:

This is great car you have here, best of luck with the sale. And I hope to see the car and you in the future.

Tim and Cheryl have been an amazing team campaigning The Beast these last several years.
You won't find a better sorted ORR sled. The fact that they have won as many events as they have, with less HP than many of their competitors' cars, is a direct reflection of their skill, preparation, and experience in this form of competition. Tim's offer to share his racing experience with the new owner of The Beast is by itself worth a premium.
Good luck with sale! It would be nice to see this car land in the hands of another capable ownership team.

I also spent a fair amount of time in the passenger seat of the "Beast".....Bill is totally right.....other than climbing over the cage, it does ride like a normal 928.....well except for the massive power and it seems like its idling ay anything under 80mph..... Tim "might" have barely stretched its legs a tiny bit while I was in it.....and it made around 120mph seem like 60mph in any other 928....

Tim and Cheryl:
Best of luck for the sale! I hope you find a great new home for this beast, and it will continue to achieve great results in ORR.
Thanks for everything you have done for our the 928 community - particularly the unforgettable Sharks at the Lake events! Enjoy your retirement, and please don't be strangers at our events.
PS: I love that sticker "I BRAKE FOR CORVETTES". For some strange reason, it reminds me of my license plate cover...

Thanks for all of the kind comments!
The Beast was built for a specific purpose and accomplished 200 mph the first time out and every time there after when asked to. I can't even add up the amount of dyno and test time is on this car. We have more time over 200 than most folks have at 90. We have done minor tweeks over the years and at this point it is pretty much push button 200 mph.
For those that have asked we are not getting out of cars entirely. We will be selling the GTS later in the year and keeping "Junior" our Corvette ZR1 for track days and possibly an occasional ORR event.
We have both reconnected with our competitive shooting and that is taking all of our free time now and that is the main reason for the sale.
