Does that mean I can get a 4.1 build for the price of a 3.9

And +1 for Sharkwerks and Mooty, makes owning a GT3 in the bay area even better.
Thanks man and I have to say these cars are so rigid and stout. Solid is an understatement...

Update:
The little White Shark now has a total of 65,523 miles on the chassis, the motor and transmission have total of 87,657 of which 50,495 have been as a 3.9👍 The motor still performs as strong as when Alex and James delivered to me in the sliver car. Life is good on the loop, although it's been a wet winter after 4 years of minimal rain here in Nor Cal. The last time I had an opportunity to do any serious driving was back before Christmas when Alex brought Magnus up for a couple days. Just ordered up a new set of MPSPC-2's, next up is a new set of Forgelines and some Bilstein club sports!

with the writing on the road looks like a US version of the ring.

Glad the miles are mounting uneventfully and just joy from the SW3.9, its a good testiment to the SW boys skills and time taken making sure their kit withsatnds road duty as well as track as both can be equally demanding for different reasons!

A good tail.

Thank you.

I really enjoy your posts, and I love the way you use your car the way it's ment to be used. 50k miles on the 3.9 build without issues, really impressive quality for such an extreme motor. Happy to hear you are enjoying the shark in good health, looking foreward to future updates - especially the 100k miles point :-)

Stay safe.

That's a great first read for me, and a very positive way to start 2016!
Please let me know if a California cruise is on the table for this year, would love to join.....along with a lot of camera gear.
