That being said, Also have another buddy who just had to have an engine replacement on his Legendary Iron from germany. So maybe your buddy got a Monday built Z06 and my buddy got a Monday built 997.

Hi Mike good to hear from you.
Surprised you don't hold a little hate for Vettes after Rupart rammed your 911 at Big Willow years ago.
This year Vette had a recall for a problem with piston rings.
A few years ago this car too was burning some oil so the owner took it to the dealer.
The dealer said no problem we'll replace it with a new engine.
The service writer walked out to the car saw a roll bar and told the owner, no dice.
Track work voids your engine warranty.
So the owner did what any good car guy would do and spent 10k on a performance rebuild.
Hope to catch up with you on a fun day at the track in 2011.
Did you end up building a Factory 5 car, still on the bike at work?
Stay safe, Happy Holidays!
