So I'm guessing I will be seeing this new beast of yours terrorizing the roads of Montecito and SB sometime soon? Hows she handle on APS?

The 3400K is Joe's,--from the SB region of the PCA. We just happened to pick up our cars together initially at Zuffenhausen. He lives about 5 miles away from me. But I suspect you'll see it out there soon enough!

How did it get through US Customs? It is clearly not the car Porsche built to be brought into the country with that VIN. And was any of this project arranged ahead of time with PCNA or PAG?

Just curious, as it wasn't too long ago that you had to bring locally purchased floor mats home in your luggage if you didn't want them seized by US Customs...
