Let's hope I don't get ANOTHER morning phone call from Fred and this thread degenerates in a fashion he is happy with.. looks good so far!

And VR, getting tired of the ***** in plastic pants, lets try and do better.

I had a beautiful fairly stock 930 and that's where it would have been placed, just needed another $30K to make it competitive.

There, that should get the ball rolling.. I just want to show I can insult any class, just not SPBox.
And someday I hope to burn Soy oil and have my car fart violets.. " I wish all Boxster boys could be California girls"... (sung to the Beach Boys.. ahh fuget it).
How many of those are there? Let's see..........Dave Leong won a race not so long ago with a car that is in the $25-30K range. Should I reassemble mine, one of the first built for the series nearly 10 years ago, I'll have $20K all in. A winner? No. But that's all I think an early 911 is worth to have on the track.

Don't pro built SPBOX cost around $30-35k..... which is pretty affordable really....since a top pro built SM is well north of $20k......

Personally I like my ex-lemons racer....$256 car with "new" junkyard $300 engine turning SM times....

But for the cost of a SPBOX there is my old racer seen my avatar...500+hp 2800lbs..BIG tires....faster than spec911 too....

Why do 911's guys ALWAYS take shots at every other non 911 P car..... it must be something to do with hanging on to an outdated design....[/QUOTE]


Pretty funny, coming from a 928 guy....talk about out dated......

Gary: I won't have to call you to ask you to unlock this thread. I started it. Only a moderator can stop it.

VR: can you bring back the hot looking and well proportioned archer?

Can I build a tiptronic spec box?

No, sadly, the admins disallowed that one after the corporate geeks took this place over.
