I don't see myself driving a 430. Too flashy for me.

Also, I prefer German cars. (hint #2)

Tim,

Z8 is a great car. Just remember to ditch the clutch delay valve the moment you get the car. It'll be a fine ride.

GL with your sale. Your 993 is spectacular.

The CDV removal is on my short to do list. Along with replacing the runflat tires and installing the performance package (mostly a front strut brace).

Tim,

I assume you have read all the stories about frame "deflections" on this car?

That looks like a beautiful car.

There is an outfit called "European Locators" in Natick, MA, which locates 993's (and other cars for people). They may be looking. The principal is Dave Maynard.

Also, I've heard Alfie (a RL members and sales guy at IRA Porsche-- also in MA) has customers interested in prime 993's.
