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! |
Hey Mike,
Good to hear from ya. Was just talking about you with my dad the other day. He had the issue of Excellance sitting on the coffee table with your car in it. Looks like retirement is suiting you well
Yes I ended up building the FF5 car. Took it to the track and it was a blast. Then I started getting into the bikes more and never raced it. Just finishing up a dedicated track bike now to go along with my 5 other street bikes and I'm still on the bike at work. I'm selling the FF5. Still have the 911, but have been thinking about selling it too, just to get rid of some stuff. If I keep the 911(probably will) would love to catch up sometime at a event.
PS. I do still get the shakes alittle everytime I see a White Corvette. But I should be ok around yours.
