Holy crap! Holy Crap! Holy Crap, it's FAST!!!!
Car is back. '83 911 SC Targa. 1997 993 Varioram.
Man, I really need to learn to drive now. Step on the gas and the front end lifts and you get slammed back into your seat HOLY CRAP! What have I done? One thing's for sure. It ain't your mommas 911. If anyone is considering the switch, be sure to budget for speeding tickets. I'm NOT kidding.

And we appreciate that. Thanks, Moses. The BBS needs more positive energy.
 So what was *mechanically* wrong? Just out of adjustment?

DME ($1000) was fried when connected to a faulty (but repaired?) harness. Timmins absorbed 1/2 the cost of the new one although I didn't expect him to. It's all behind me. Now I'm killin' bugs at an incredible pace!

Welcome aboard!
My best 0-60 so far is 4.3s, but I was cheating with a slightly downhill launch.
