Of course all other things being equal, a 231hp Carrera will leave a 150hp 2.7 a long way behind in any kind of race. If you are suggesting otherwise, you are deluded.

I'm not suggesting, I did it and mine is not stock HP I would like to do a 3.2 upgrade sometime but that wont be stock either I dont wish to have a "sheep in wolf clothing" I once had a guy in an 84 85 corvette challenge me to a race I said okay and told him all he had to do was stay in my rear view mirror going up Tanalus drive in Honolulu and he won when he finally caught up to me I was out of my car and had lit up my pipe he didn't even stop he just ducked his head and drove on by. Oh by the way your car looks nice.

Friends:

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Why add flares to make your 911 wider? There's another way.

Back in the free-thinking '70s, the dreaded Alan Fritze and Pelikaner Grady Clay took an innocent Targa, applied a Sawzall to the centerline of the entire body/chassis, cut it from spoiler to rear bumper, then moved the two halves four inches apart!

Unfortunately the resulting gap remained unfilled, so the project was never completed. I have incriminating photos somewhere...

gsmith660 01-26-2008 10:41 AM

Has any one added reverse lights to the R lights last I saw you had to put reverse somewhere not in the lights you get?

You have a very good eye!

That is exactly what the next project will be. The front end is MUCH too high. Here are the current specs:

Front: Pavement to the bottom of the fender measures about 26 1/8".

Rear: Pavement to the bottom of the fender measures about 25 3/4".



Front: Pavement to the top of the tire tread measures about 23 1/4".

Rear: Pavement to the top of the tire tread measures about 24 1/2".

BTW, the tire sizes are: Front 225/50-15 Rear 265/50-15

Any wise advise will be greatly appreciated. :D Not even sure if I want to tackle this myself.

Where's the brown car Rod?

Rodsrsr 02-04-2008 06:38 AM

This "is" the brown car. If you look in the background, you'll see the old hood. I just put it on a major diet. Fiberglass flat hood, fenders, doors, lexan all around (minus windshield) 6lb braille battery and I took out all of the few remaining non essentials. Hence the respray. Overall I think I cut out 175-185 lbs. Havent driven it yet, but Im sure it will feel like a different car.

This car looks amazing. Very well done. The others look fantastic as well.

What would a body kit like this, this particular one -- professionally installed and painted -- cost? With the wing? A few years from now, this is the path I'd like to take. Thanks.
