I can't believe they got it done! It looks AWESOME and I agree with Nicole, the clear front lights all the way and no side markers is really a cool look for the car!
Only for you James Top: Pacific Green, Bottom: Minerva Blau

Oh shiny! Very nice Tony. Are those 30 or 35 profile on the rear tires?

Cheers!

JB is gorgeous, don't let her hear you say that.

Does JP feel a whole lot quicker?

I would love to see footage of a drag race (or a 60-150 roll-on) between JB and JP on a closed course under highly controlled, safe conditions. JP is going to leave that poor GTS in the dust....

T, do you have a curb weight on JP? Perhaps it's in the JP thread and I missed it.

Think your right Rob, don't think it would be much of a contest. Guesstimate for JP is 3075lbs. Starting to shop for a performance shop who can corner weight along with setting up the ride height, camber and alignment. Pulled approx. 202lbs out of JB (most item weights taken off of your scales Rob), so JP should weigh approx. 315lbs less than JB. Add in an additional 200hp, two more gears, many new & upgraded suspension parts and bigger brakes. This combo does make JP more nimble, stop quicker and a lot faster. T

Took a spin with Herm & Barb over to AC Motorsports Cars & Coffee this morning. These timeless design 928's show's extremely well next to these newer cars. T
