We did that for some 6Speed members WAY back in the day. We stayed in Knoxville, TN and drove the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway for a long weekend.

I am sure you will become a friend of this forum but why were you so offended by Lennon's review? It seems clear the car has had work done between your inspections. Since you did not buy it, did your best friend buy/sell it then? I like the seats. Since you know all about this car, what tune does it have and what exhaust? wonder if the coolant pipes were fixed and what slave cylinder it has?
Dan,

The reason for my post was as follows:

A lot of people refrain from talking about their cars on forums, because keyboard commandos like to attack.

I suspect if I walked in the garage of a lot of people on this thread, I would find numerous flaws on allegedly flawless cars.

The reason for my post is because I saw this car, and believe it hurts forums when people say cars suck, that don't suck as it discourages people from talking about their cars which is the point of a forum.

If I saw your car, and someone attacked it and I disagreed, I would do the same.

And yes, my words could have been softer with Lennon.

Also, I'm up for a 6Turbo event.

Regarding exhaust, Gemballa is embossed on the muffler and it has headers, not sure of the brand but looks similar to EVOMs.

I also know the wheels are 19 inch GEM19 Gemballa racing wheels, and that there is a custom Gemballa strut brace hidden in the frunk and a custom Gemballa rollbar covered in alcantara.

I don't know if the coolant lines are pinned.

Regarding slave cylinder, not sure.

The original build sheet was nice but who pays money for anything Gemballa? They have been destroying nice cars cars since the eighties with their tacky add-ons.

Gembella also sold others products under their umbrella. for instance my old 993 turbo had gembella suspension which was from H&R.
Tail of the Dragon with a bunch of 996 turbos sounds fun! they plan to allow us Canadians to drive into the US starting in a few weeks
I hope everybody has a great day...might be a great day for a drive
