I just now had the chance to watch your dyno video running through the gears. Sounds FANTASTIC!! I am really looking forward to hearing about how you are enjoying your car on the track soon. That thing should be incredible to race!!

Tony, I just finished your 1442 fascinating posts, thanks for such interesting entertainment.
I am currently working on my 944T which has the stock crate LS7 engine in it already. After seeing your 968 rear body panel I was wondering if you can share where you got it? I originally wanted to fit 968 rear lights and bumper but your solution looks a lot simpler.

How time passes when a Tony G incar video doesn't even get a response. This looks over a year old. Wonder what happened with Tony and the car.
Suspect eventually he had to stop the major bleeding.

A lot of us have watched his build from the beginning, but he hasn't had an update for 2 years. After spending crazy money, did he ever finish and race the last 2 years?

The LEGEND is BACK!

Not that I have seen many driveshafts, but that's the first time I have seen that happen on the list.
