I don't know Joe. But I know of him and we have a few common friends.
I do know he recently purchased the last Vision 951 race car built (the Gulf car). Never seen it but I'm sure it's nice.

So what are you going to enter this car as? What do you write down on the entry sheets?

It is my understanding based on my conversations with Dwayne that one of the key reasons for the installation of the 996 front end is because under heavy braking loads with slicks, the elevated grip will force the stock setup to flex/spread, causing brake cavitation. All of the other benefits are icing on the cake, bearings, geometry, part availability etc. Pretty tasty icing.
The installation of this front end, therefore provides a great value to those of us racing these cars at a high horsepower/grip level (with a healthy budget).

I don't know. I think they are going to build up a custom version of the Kokeln sway bars they use to produce. I was told concerning the sway bar and drop links... "Don't worry about that. We'll build you a custom sway bar and drop links".
That's when I shut up and said OK.

Out of respect for Tony I won't talk about my new setup here. But here are some photos of the spindle I was going to use: 997 341 658 05
