He must work for some hybrid car company cause that's whats on his shirt." %#@&*&%$#@!!!!!! jt[/quote'] I've bought the car' date=' the wife is hot however she is in desperate need of a new pair of glasses.

jt1 Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Interesting trip. Got back Fri evening about 11pm, tired and ready for bed, 1492 miles in the rear view. The car's good and so-so. Paint job is a 20 footer, sandblasted in front with some chips, and a few peeling spots in the clear coat. It looked silver in the pics, but is actually a silver with a brownish/greenish tint depending on the light. LF fender has been replaced at some point, but I couldn't find any damage to the chassis. Car is straight, and has no rust or frame damage at all. I crawled around under it for over an hour. Interior is pretty good except for some dash cracks and soso seat covers. The car was imported into CA, spent a number of years in AZ before coming to Florida. It has a big file of reciepts for work that's been done. Hot sounding wife is actually totally HOT. Turns out this is her car, she does DE events and a few club races, and drives it around on pretty days. She's got a new 996 twin turbo in the garage. Husband is a banker who thinks cars are just to get where you're going. Mechanically I was impressed. Engine, trans, and clutch were freshened last year, upgraded turbo and cams. Suspension has poly bushings, bilstein shocks, upgraded torsion bars, adjustable sway bars, and cooling ducts for the brakes. It drives great and has decent power. Not power like a V8Z, but decent. 12" straight pipe on the turbo is a little loud but not bad. We stuck a tag on it and drove it around a little this afternoon. Gail loves it and says she wants to do some DE events in it. This may get interesting! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Congrats on the new car! Looking forward to meeting your wife at the track soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Nice Porsche.... JT1.. I can't believe you are selling the V8Z... I still need an Engine, tranny, and brakes... depending what you want.. I might buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Thanks Mark. We'll see if she wants to track it. She did an event in my car back in 03 I think, doing quite well but hasn't been back. She drives like a maniac all the time anyway. John, thanks also. No danger of me selling the white V8Z, it's too good a time. I've got a 71 vintage Z, one of the factory sponsored resto specials, that I'm going to sell. It's perfect, and a collector needs it, not me. I want to see how long a black mark it will leave on the road, probably not very long. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
