I will definately check it out and get a proper balance when I put the car in it.

Just got a new (to me) 10k GVW 28' Pace Pursuit. I brought it home from San Diego last weekend, and cleaned it this weekend. So the 964 has a new cozy transporter now. It's a bit overkill for my application, but I will 'grow' into it. ;-). I plan on adding cabinets, g-floor flooring, etrack on the walls, and some more 12v lighting. The F350 SD Powerstroke tows it like a dream, I went over grapevine (empty) and she didn't even break a sweat. I can't wait to fill her up and see how it goes.

Thanks Larry.
Yeah, I wasn't looking for a 28'. I wanted a 24', but when this deal came along, I went for it. I am sure I will find something creative to do with the extra space. hehe.

i saw some crazy truck @ track yesterday. it's a little monster diesel. it weights 7200 lbs w/driver, and it ran 12.6 @ 107 mph in the quarter. the owner said it makes about 600 whp and 1300 ft-lbs. ahh the crazy american's.... i'll post some pix later. i think it'd be a peppy little tow truck.
