Of course LRP has been re-done since that day... haven't driven it since so I have no idea how this impacts lap-times, and of course, cars get faster every year, but all things equal, he was an easy 1 second faster than anybody else... and 1 second at LRP is a lot.

How about some stories from the guys in the old "F-troop"... or from the guys that tried to beat them? Where is Larry Herman when you need him? 
F-troop ran in "F", which would be the current "E" class. I believe Humpfer had the hottest euro 3.0 car back then, but the northeast "F Troop" guys all ran 3.2s before the change of the chip rule. Mike Ellis and Greg Merrill ran prepared US 3.0s, but didn't quite have the top end I don't believe. Was some of the best racing I've ever seen in PCA. Unless you want to go way back and talk about the old GT3S class... Trombley and Bavaro, or maybe Pablo has some videos of his car when Savenor would go at it with Zitzmann? Great times to be a kid at the track with his Dad...

If it happened before 2004... it doesn't count(not on Rennpoints)

No one has bought this yet Sean?? Nuts! It's costing me close to what your asking to fully rebuild my "new" 3.2 without the engine core cost included!! A bolt-in, 190 RWHP race winning engine with very low hours? If anyone has a tired motor, you are waaaaay better off selling it as a core and dropping this in!
