Quick update, car is now on the lift and under work right now.
I'll update with pictures.

All the red accents are coming out and silver will take place of the red look.

I saw the fiat but did not see my license plate today. Orbit is an interesting place. I should have taken a picture of Rodger today. Looked like a crazy professor in the engine room LOL

Went to try and make a last ditch effort on 4.0 and GT2RS.
Orbit had a party come back who they had spoken to before I bought it.

Confused indeed. Car going on the lift with offer standing and my offers pending on faster stuff, but I'm out of time I'm afraid. Being RS less is not an option I found out, I'd die from stress.

2RS didn't work out?

You need a GTS...yep GTS...reliable engine that's winning in Grand Am Conti series...I know who can build you some nice custom sway bars, KW coil overs and GT3 brakes and your good to go...whip up on higher HP cars and never be let down. Think of all the money you will really save...plus it's the best street 997 going!

Wait, you *did* make a last ditch effort on a GT2 RS? And no luck? That would've been a monstrosity. I think you'd have really enjoyed a 2RS on the track as your trakcar.

I'm feel for you after our quick chat today. So many "almost" deals, and in the end everything fell apart. I would LOVED to see you in a GT2 RS. I agree for $200 - $220K, it is better value and I think you'll have a lot of fun trying to master forced induction.

Good to see you in a 3.8RS (lol about the RED). You saved others a lot of money in the Florida Arms race!
