pissedpuppy,

The engine mod is nothing spectacular like a bored out 4.0L NA. I wish I could do that. My mod consists of VF-Engineering S/C with a 1 size smaller pulley than what it came with, along with IPD Plenum, X-51 headers, and Tubi exhausts.

Thanks. I'm not Misha, but I have to thank him for taking a chance with me to make a customed whale tail .

The war memorial is the Hawaii Punchbowl Cemetary, better known as, the National Memorial Cemetary of the Pacific. It's quite an impressive place.

So this is where you speed demons have been hanging out!

The burzel on 808c2s' car is really sweet and quite unique on the 997. I'm glad Porsche brought it back on the Sport Classic. Now if I could only get 808c2s to get some Fuchs for his car!

I thought this car was interesting as it's not a true limited edition Sport but has the Sport Package...

Lol..thanks man. You know the Fuchs you are talking about are heavier than my Kinesis, right? I would love to have a set of Fuchs that are as light as the Kinesis.

I don't think this car have the SportClassic duck tail. To me it looks like the decklid from a 997.2 GT3 RS without the uprights and wing blade.

Yea would have bought the car just to get the mold, but it's clearly different from the real sport classic one. Most obvious difference being the sides

You got the power to overcome the unsprung weight.

is it me, or is the sportclassic ugly? ducktail is cool as are the twin mid exhaust pipes, but the rest of the car looks bloated.

it's you but to each his own! I think it is sweet.

The only "bloat" is in the "turbo look" widened rear.

I'd like to see mine @ 4L too!

still, yours sounds like it's a bit of a screamer!

sportclassic is SWEET - saw one locally (may be the only one in the US....not sure)

Yeah, but it's still heavier. Unsprung weight is the enemy

Yeah, it screams a bit, and just pulls to redline! I would love to have a Sportclassic...
