Jumpin' in late, but I thought you were talking about my car for a while. 99 C2 w/LSD, EVO supercharger, PSS9's, no Egas, Fabspeed.... yeah, that's my baby. It's my daily driver, and my track car as well. I love it. The only "bad" thing (which is bad for the track, but good everywhere else) is that it's a cab, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Even with that extra 165 lbs for the folding top (or something like that), plus the weight of the Tequipment roll bar, it still blows by the 3.6 N/A coupes on the track. And when the track day is over, I put the top down and enjoy the sun and breeze as I go home. Highly recommended!

Carlos, I know what you mean. One of my favorite cars is this blue SC'd cab that we did and the owner tracks it all the time. It's a great car in all senses...

The 3.6L had the new hoses, which is definitely a better solution to the old ones. Makes pulling things in and out a lot easier. I would imagine by the time the next 3.4 rolls in here it will have the updated hoses as well (crosses fingers)

PorscheDoc-
I take care of that 3.6L car locally. My customer brought it in as soon as he got it back. Very nice driver. If only I could get him to do something about those chrome wheels. You guys do very nice work.

Lol, yea chrome rims are kinda of a hit and miss depending on the car, i think some darker rims would look great on that car. It is a very nice car as well.

For those that are wondering about the reliability, John flew into Kansas City, picked up the car on a friday afternoon, and drove straight back to the chicago area. Had fun the whole way back from the sound of it.

They are an improved soft hose design that makes the install a little less painful. I have not had any issues with the old hoses other than a loose hose clamp on one car that popped off on my test drive, so i would say no.

phaedrus242, tell the dyno king to lower that steed. I don't mind the chrome so much as I do the Baja look!
