Wow! Never been a Targa guy, but I love that car.

the video could use less face in the RV mirror.

pretty apparent the driver watched sweetstump's shifting video...

Pretty apparent the driver in the in-car video has zero HPDE/track experience. Five minutes of driving and not one second with his hands anywhere near where they should be placed on the wheel.

Five minutes of driving and not one second of it was on a HPDE/track surface. Pretty apparent that not one second was spent with hands on the wheel that shouldn't be anywhere near where the driver didn't want them to be.

Yeah, never been one of those posers who does a couple track days then tells people he's a race car driver. Not my thing. Thanks for the kind words about the car. Now off to my weekly manicure.

Some posers do track days to learn new things and have fun while doing it.

Some people think they already know everything, and display their ignorance for all to see.

I'm a little of both--how 'bout you?

I have Warren's 911 Tech Spec booklet with his annotations if someone knows the new owner. He may be interested.
Thanks, Dan

Provenance matters. That’s nuts.

Oddly, I don't think the buyer knew or knew of Warren. But I'm quite sure many of the under bidders did. 4 bidders at $200k+.
