Again, kudos on the Zermatt Silver, I have a burgandy interior though. I'd check into the "timing belt was inspected and determined to be recent" statement. If you don't have records of a change, just do it now, or you're risking big bucks if it breaks. Visual inspections can't tell you if a belt is new or not, many on here have posted that their belts look new after 30k when they go in to change them.

Congrats! That is one very slick lookn' car, those twists are the ****! Speaking of budget items, stash a little aside for legal fees.

NZ951- yours has to be the coolest of the Zermatt 951s!!!

Luv my CBR1000RR- I bought mine back in July from Cherner Classics in Annapolis.

I'm always up for a local meet. I live way down in St. Marys, but anywhere in Balt or Annapolis would be a great place to meet. I know that there are a least a couple of Rennlisters in the MD/N.VA area.

That's one great looking car. I am always looking for an excuse to get into mine and drive. I used to HATE driving now I love it! Enjoy

NZ951- An airsplitter would look awesome on yours, but I'm too scared I'll scrape it off! I already scrape the front at least 1 out of 5 times I take it out!

Woo hoo! more silver cars! Congradulations on the purchase.
I'm out in Falls church VA, but my girlfriend lives up in Baltimore, so I'm there more weekends then not. Either way, I'd be up for a local get together.

Congratulations on becoming another Maryland 944 Turbo owner. Now, you need to bring it to the Chesapeake Challenge autocross in Cumberland in a few weeks and see what that bad boy can do on the airport tarmac. Visit www.nationalroadrally.com for details. Spaces are still open and a perfect opportunity "to let it all hang out!"

CBR1000RR,
Awesome. I also have an 86' 951. You're really gonna love it. However, it's not as fast as the CBR1000RR. But that is like apples and oranges. I have a 2000 Yamaha R1, these open class super bikes are too fast. The car is just right. And that looks like a really good one that you got. Have fun with it.
