It’s not a matter of PC or news outlet. The truth cannot be twisted anyway. Otherwise lies prevail and that’s one of this Forum’s objectives: Truth and Transparency. Much like a 911 that’s described as one thing, but in reality is quite another. Can’t see that being scrutinized.....

sad. No one ever destroys out of protesting.....truth

Regarding the 911 in hand, I’m trying to look up the original article? Anyone have a link? The interior (dash) didn’t sustain any high heat. At the very least, could be a good donor or one for an AC build out with modern touches.

That tow hook looks so ridiculous on a street car. So Fast and Furious.

Even if it has been tracked it doesnt really matter as long as it is maintained properly. I have tracked the hell out of my 3.9 at Sebring and Daytona and not one hiccup. Granted I religiously maintain it so I wouldn't worry too much. These are meant to be tracked.

For real... I don't know why some people get so twisted if this car was used as intended. There's a difference between a Track Car and a car that's been Tracked.

To be clear, I fully intend to do a few HPDE's a year when I get one. But I don't leave my tow hook in it when I go home. I also never saw a Fast and Furious movie so that must be the disconnect.

Hey the guy likes his tow hook. It's not hurting anyone so no need to throw shade on the guy for doing what he likes.
