Those are some legendary good looks, there. And that thing's got the guts to back it up.

Well done, Matt!

(How can you resist simply dropping everything and driving the 12 or 14 hours it would take to complete the break-in?)

This has been an awesome story. We really appreciate sharing this with us. I almost find myself wishing something would happen to my engine so I could watch/help it being rebuilt. Almost.

Well done! Thanks for keeping us in touch with the story, I've been following it avidly. Gorgeous car. The day I see a lime green 2.7 Carrera for sale I'm having it! (Incidentally, there was at least one lime green one, got a picture of it in a brochure.)
Now we should get the 2.7/Middle year registry going??

Matt!

Well done! Gotta get the miles up before the "President's Day" outing on the track this Sunday, man! I like Jack's idea of an all-nighter to get the miles up!

I'll be going on the weekend, but I'll be watching from the sidelines. I'll bring the camera though!
