Car looks great. Nice seats. why the license plate on the dash? could slit your throat if edges not covered in that position.

I could not bring myself to selling it- especially since all offers were stupid low money. I would have to spend 100k to replicate the performance envelope.
Im keeping it!

I can not in good faith ever mount a front plate on my Porsches.
The plate is in a heavy plastic sleave

What exhaust tips are those? I am considering making some dual tips with one big and one a little smaller.

Good call, you even priced it very fair IMO considering all the work you've done to it.
Maybe the amount of time and $ someone getting a stock Tip to your level is not appreciated as much by the 2 pedal crowd...

Your car sits just like mine. I have done a few good mods to get power and handling. We have access to some roads to really open up and hit many turns. Your car looks fun to drive. Enjoy it.

Oh i do!

The heavy spring coilovers/solid bushing suspension & R-compound tires make it soooo enjoyable only on glass smooth roads(hard to find in NJ) but its a beast. Darts, bucks,kicks, snorts etc.
Its fun alright.
