We'll all be at the track, and Phil, me and the other 993 guys will have to put up with John Sr. smoking us down the main straight.

Since John told me of his plan a few days ago, I find myself looking at the Auto Trader for a TT car...please stop me now before it is too late! Noooooooo not another slippery slope! If you see my car in the classifieds, you know I have gone over the edge.

And for those of you 993 owners that have not driven a TT car. Do not do this. It is very habit forming.
...hahaaa......You guys don't even know....what has happened to the "Flat black"car!!.....

and lets just say........................................

CJ,
You absolutely know it's all your fault. I think it was when you blew by all those elderly parishoners leaving Sunday morning services on Hwy 74.....

Talking Phil, take your meds!!!!!

Phil writes above, "...hahaaa......You guys don't even know....what has happened to the "Flat black"car!!.....lets just say.........almost 300lbs lighter.......lets just say......full roll cage.....lets just say..???????? and lets just say........................................ and lets just say.................???????????????? can yallllll......say 3.8?????.....so can ya all say that?????????????????otter than that......the car is totally stock!! ........MAYBE!!!!!!!!"

Phil, please, I think you may have slipped a cog Perhaps too much Fris or Akvavit' or a combination therof!

I sent you an e-mail. If you really did all these mods, your car should be rocketship fast! A loss of 300 Lbs is about 30 HP gain, + the 15 of so with the 3.8...now you are at about 330 HP..add in those gears, big tires and wheels, gott en himmel, you will be unstopable

Your at HWFM Racing, and others such as myself, will be expecting records to fall as the Danish Terror from Solvang rips up the road. The mods sound great...see you at the POC STS in 2005 where we will all be worshiping at your shrine
