My choice of words leaves something to be desired. Yes, they can definately build a hot rod. But since the formation of North American Porsche Racing with one the the partners (Alwin Springer, now retired) as president, many of the things they used to do in both buildings are now handled exclusively across the lot. So, you really do see a lot more mundane operations in the original facility these days. And, hold onto your hat, they WILL work on water pumpers. That was not always so.
Grady, I follow. Not promoting either. Benchmark is the word.
Dave, the path to the Andial parts counter goes within a few feet of the engine assembly area. It's sorta a public area, not really off limits. They have a waiting room out front I'm sure they wish you would use, but I've never been asked to please go in there and leave us alone, even in the nicest manner. They like people who are interested. Dieter and Arnold have been doing this so long that they may have lost some enthusiasm for kibitzing with the public, but the worst offense is to tell them you know something. You might, but not around there. It's like E.F. Hutton, they talk, you listen. You wanna put a 3.0 in where the 2.7 lives? Dieter will tell you about the clutch for 10 minutes. Don't ask me, I don't know about the clutch. I just heard him.
