Hey Alan! El Gaupo looks flawless. Something about ever improving these cars is a good way to keep them running and looking well. You're a great steward to a great car. Hopefully the PO was also a conscientious owner?

I promised to be second to best if you would only allow me to become the next caretaker. I love this car and it does not fail to impress. Being the one and only Zyclamrot 928 in the world does not hurt either. I like unique cars and colors.
Glad you approve and still waiting for your visit here in Atl. so you can have a moment with the car again and take it for a spin.

Have you done any dyno testing with the new boost system?
I have paid twice now for appts. that I could not keep based on travel. Since the car has had magic bestowed upon it by Greg Brown (internal engine and exhaust) and is set to just 6lbs with Shark tuning estimates have it between 450 to 500 at the flywheel. I would say likely 465 to 475. Pulls like a freight train and can get sideways easily.
Someday I'll actually get to the dyno.

You guys should see the underside of it as well.
Totally clean, every piece in place, beautiful set of headers, etc.
Whenever it's up on the lift, we all enjoy checking it out.
Great job Alan (and of course, Dan too)..!

Worst luck ever
You won't believe this, but it appears that some $hithead at work may have been a bit jealous and shot what appears to be white spray paint into the air and it went all over the car. No other cars damaged in the parking lot.
Seems to come off if you pick it easily with your nail. Any ideas on how to clean this up?

Clay bar and a bottle of Griot's Speed shine, sooner rather than later. That sucks.
Have you waxed it yet since the repaint?

Just the hood got carnubba. The rest of the car got Meguiars Ultimate Polish/glaze.
Dinner party tonight and letting it cool down. Should be at it tomorrow morning.
