It's really shameful the V8 SHO was automatic only. Come on Ford, even VW made the W8 Passat with a manual AND you could get both in a wagon!
Much to my surprise, during a lab tour at Ga Tech, a V8 SHO engine cutaway was on a stand in front of me. Very cool design. Pistons were not much larger than a coke can. I definitely preferred my stick '91 3.0L, however.
Yeah Bernard that's fab. Those old trucks are great.
I don't have the patience to document any of the restorations I have done. My buddy says I should just put a time lapse camera in the shop lol.
The 996 is overdue for some maintenance (oil change and replacing the lower coolant hoses), so not really driving it until I have time to do that. Did get it tucked in with its new roommate though.

Swapped out the sport technos for the turbo twists……outside of bbs e88 or rs-gt these are my faves….was a beautiful day yesterday so I got a nice top down ride for the day.

I just can’t get enough of the finish on those RS-GT’s. Just stunning. Great work, sir
Not today, but last week... Custom dyno tune. Mods that should help with HP and TQ - Fabspeed Supersport 70mm X-pipe exhaust, Intake Filter, RWD Conversion with Wavetrac, Aasco Midweight Flywheel Clutch Kit, and IPD 74mm Plenum with 74mm Throttle body. I know, I've read all about how the IPD doesn't make power :-) Final results were 452 whp and 448 wtq. Car feels great! Is this about what I should expect from the above mods?
