It's true that this car is one of a kind.

I have had the distinct pleasure of owning, developing, and driving the car over the last five years. The evolution from ordinary production 930 with some schmancy go fast parts, to a well sorted, very reliable, and extremely quick track car that can still be street driven, has been a long road, with input from a few valued sources, along with a lot of sweat and challenges on my own part.

It has taken me fully five years to get to where I feel I can drive it to it's potential, and at that pace it is extremely gratifying to smoke all sorts of contemporary and supposedly superior factory hardware. This takes a truly sorted package, something that doesn't happen by accident.

I owe a large debt of gratitude to Steve Weiner, for his bottomless pit of patience as he spent countless hours on the telephone with me sharing concepts and ideas, the class and consistency of his character that is second to none, and quite simply the generosity of his nature.

The final iteration is a product of Steve's collaboration, Jeff Gamroth's shop Rothsport, and not insignificantly, good parts suppliers like Chuck Moreland, whose suspension bushings and other well thought out parts have truly been a revelation to older torsion bar based cars.

I learned a lot over the time I had the turbo, and had a lot of fun.

Now it's Craig's time to start his own personal love affair with a car that truly has a unique character, to make it his own, raise his personal bar, and hopefully learn a few things along the way. His excitement is obvious, and it takes me on a trip down memory lane. I can't wait to see where he takes the car from here.

Good luck Craig.
