Couldn't agree with you more - my dream garage would have a 964RS exactly like yours and an F40. Congratulations very nice collection!

The acceleration of the RS in the early chassis w/ a short box must be something. When I had my 3.8RS in my '76C3 it was bad enough(ore is that good?).

I found that I could make the side seals on the 915 weep just from accelerating hard in first. Did you beef up the trans at all?

The 915's are robust. I will have to ask Barrett if he beefed it up. I think he had problems with the trany handling the power when he owned it. The gear box is very trick, so I am sure Gamroth worked a little magic when he opened her up.

Nice car Joe. I've been watching its progression and saw the completed project on monday. I was hoping to get a ride in it sometime.

Very nice... if I had any need for that car I would have snagged it. I heard you got it. Nice work. It is a great car, hope you are getting some track time in it.

Joe,
I am going to Portland this weekend on Sunday and then going with Rothsport to Thunderhill on March 27.
Maybe you can get the yellow car from Jeff someday.
I am hoping for the RSR .
