I've gotta ask, with your old car available at a good price and with all the R&D pretty much done and sorted on that car why start over and spend all the money again?
If I remember correctly you pretty much drive the GT3 all the time so was it just getting a fresh, low mile car that made it worth starting over?

Looking forward to chatting about your plans for this 3.8 RS and seeing it in person with your old one. Maybe Orbit can be kind enough to take a picture of the 2 of them together,...
I'd place a small wager that you may be going FVD 4.0 via Orbit.
Keep the dreams of a 4.0L ALIVE!

older one looks better. black series looks great too.
peter, have you driven the new one yet, just to compare?
you know sometimes engines come out of the factory as freaks....
randy's engine sounds like one for sure.

I had seen the car many times the last 2 years, but never took a very close look.
Took the above pictures yesterday and sat in it for a few seconds.
I will try to Dyno it ASAP and hopefully get a couple of track days to test everything before Mancation.
Work starts Monday..

You can't go wrong with someone like Orbit taken care of your car. You got a fresh car, and I am sure it will bring you really good memories.
Although the 4.0 is better, I am sure you will be Bully enought to bully any 4.0 owner on the track!
Can you make a list of the cheater parts and upgrades you are doing to new car?

Nothing special on my car that I know of yet, but Orbit will post the build pics and information here.
I think the 3.8 is a bit too fresh to turn into a 4.0 just yet, but that who knows.

Beat on the 3.8L this season and crack it open this winter to make it faster than 4.0L and the 991 GT3....
The question is, now that this is your second time around, what are you going to different? What ideas do you have that you can share our hungry minds??
