Cool New Toy!

New addition to the family today - and joining the SC crowd.

It's a '79 SC steel widebody with RS 3.8 wing, fresh 3.0, 46mm Webers, Electromotive Ignition, RSR spec close ratio trans, solid bushing suspension, 993TT brakes with floating rotors, full cage, ATL cell, and 3 sets of Fikses - completely sorted for PCA E Prepared. 247 rwhp! Can you guess how many hours I spent in the garage today?

That's the smart way to do it! Let somebody else set it up and sort it out first.

Enjoy!

Congratulations! Very nice. Just pull the refrigerator, sleeping bag and your computer (for access to PP) in the garage and you won't have to leave your new baby. Enjoy the ride!

I'm jealous Mike, I continue to dream of a dedicated track car. Assuming you have corner balancing paper work, can you tell us what the car weighs in at?
