There was an Enzo engine available. There was wife also, Porsche loving, 1986.5 928 owning, 47k miles, driving it every day[she drove her car at 155mph once] kinda wife. I told her about the Enzo engine and the possibilities. Being the amazing car wife that she is, she responded with " that sounds like a fantastic, amazing, once in a lifetime project. How many bedrooms and baths does it have? " I said three, with two baths, and a sunroom. She said go for it! I bought a Toyota.
Enzo and mistress, maybe..😊
My suspicion is that for your purpose, the Toyota is just fine. However, if you find that a customer is in need or lust of a second mistress, send me a note, and I'll arrange an Italian for you.
All provided of course that the liability waivers are signed. I am unable to accept responsibility for divorce, breakups etc caused by such transactions!! 😄

We will start Enigma 2 soon. Many miles on the Enigma now. A lot of data logging for the ultra tunability of Megasquirt 3. The real delight other than the LS1-eating torque, is watching all the Lambo and $200k car owners gawking while at the Texas mile.

Didn't even know that you were going to be at the Texas Mile. I would've liked to say hello. I also thought it slightly strange that you parked away from the other 928s just down the row. (there were 5 or 6 in attendance) It seemed as if you were distancing? It's always been a pleasure to see you. What up?

I don't pay much attention to the 928 forum and didn't know there was a 928 party since a 991 looked like it was leading the pack.
80 mph at 2k rpm sipping the petrol....
VVTi tuned perfectly for some sick torque off idle all the way to 6500....

I redesigned the 6speed trans mount with 60A polyurethane bushings to go over the top and allow adjustment for different engine combos....A mercedes V12 biturbo is being considered....
Dinsdale made everything factory looking....props to him...

Dinds offered to let me drive it at Rockport but I didn't make it. Anyone have a range report on it?

We talked about a billet flywheel just for the 1gz, but the torque monster isn't fazed by the lightened steel flywheel we used.....
The Enigmas will be getting 1-piece billet strut tower braces. Dins made a custom dual CAI to clear one....

Outstanding fit and finish.
I bet you could fit a Mclaren F1-like BMW 12,
(Wiki): 6.1 L (6,064 cc) 60-degree V12 engine called the BMW S70/2.[8] At 627 PS (461 kW; 618 hp)[9][10][11] and 266 kg (586 lb)
Do an All - German V12-6? I bet that would excite too.

There were some really nice cars at the Texas Mile. I was amazed that many drivers did not "know" their car. Taking the car all the way to redline and missing shift points; missing shifts entirely. the cars were awesome, the drivers much less so. I saw 4 GT40's run while I was there and not a one of them gave a good account of themselves. One in particular, a black one, had no less than 10 guys in matching black tee shirts pushing the car toward the starting line. When the time came for the run, it sounded like it had a bad tune. It made me want to stand and boo.
On the good side, those motorcyclists are crazy. I saw several smallish guys or maybe women run 200+. That is just flat out crazy.
Anyway, sorry I missed you. Hope to see you soon. And I hope you and T can kiss and make up someday. Life is awfully short.

BMW engine would be good also now that Megasquirt is worked out. BMW, Merc, or Toyota will have to be used for an ultimate 928 GT because Porsche hasn't "grown a pair" due to whatever economic reasons...aka VW servitude.
On to more Enigma news.... I just scored a set of 5- spoke Panamera wheels so we can do a full front-back install of newer Lexus monoblocks.
