Filled the car up and drove down to Mammoth Cave national park taking back roads (87 miles) each way. I even convinced my wife to drive it. After about 20 miles or so she said it's nice but I like being a passenger!

We even had a spirited bit of a chase with a new stingray at one point on the interstate.

Excellent day if I must say!

Drove out to Chelan, 160 miles of twisty roads. Few cars in the road so I had the mountain passes mainly to myself. Was a good drive. Last minute trip to look at some property.

Only a complete moron would think that losing 6 pounds per side from the front fenders of a 3400+ pound car would have any perceivable effect on the cars handling. And you definitely are not a complete moron.

So can you please explain further, as I dont understand what you are asking exactly.
Front-to-rear mass distribution. If your fender change only saves you 6lb/side... oh well!

FYI... insulting a forum member is not acceptable.

Been years since I've been to Mammoth. Sounds like a good time!

Very nice on your very nice looking 911. And that's coming from a black on black owner. Is that script available in white? Not that I would actually do that.

Very nice!

I swapped a TT rear wing and decklid onto my white C4s recently. Just received and installed the third brake light into the spoiler and find it sticks out like a sore thumb. I badly need to tint it like yours. That looks a million times better.

Thanks!

You can get the script on any color you want. I got it from here: http://www.designstuffonline.co.uk

Quality is great. Just need to be a little patient with the shipping since they send it via Royal Air Mail. It took about a week and a half for mine to arrive. They were recommended from others on this forum.

drove it to the Indy 500. What a joy to and from a spectacular event. It will get a good bath when I get home.
