Frisbee,

If that is the same car I'm thinking of, you just bought a really well put together engine package. In addition, I believe NHL superstar Alex Magilny was the first owner of that car. If you haven't already, you should give Stuart @ Weissach a call for more info on your car.

Congratus on the awesome purchase!

Doug,

I talked to the PO yesterday and had a hunch that I'll see a thread on this purchase on Rennlist very soon. Congratulations on a fantastic car. It is a beautiful work of art and the PO are very **** about keeping their cars in pristine conditions. I'd say you have a keeper.

If I did not already have my RUF BTR, I'd have bought this car. It walks away from my RUF without even breathing hard. Weissach put together an awesome packege for your car.

Look forward to seeing you and your new ride with our BAR drive someday soon. In the mean time, enjoy in great health. When can we see pics?

Doug,



Congrats... sounds like a keeper for sure and its even a Polar Sivler.... BEST color in my opinion! Wow, I am very happy for you after all that you went through... it's all worth it now. If there is an '05 Rumble you'll have to bring your new baby.

polar silver car.

When you guys do the 60-130 mph run how do you do it ? Do just go by the speedo and a stop watch or do you some kind of other timer ? Thank You all for the nice congradulations on my new car, and fc-racer you are right it was owned by Alexander Mogilny he was the 2nd owner and bought it in Oct. of 1997 Doug

Oh, is this Bill (ZCAT)'s former car? If so, Doug you picked a mighty fine steed. Enjoy it in good health!
