Sorry if this is a repeat. I've been away from the forum for a while and it might have already been cited. I was at my local body shop yesterday. No worries, I was there to have a GT3 bumper transplanted on to my 997S Cab. Just can't resist. Very nice folks, and they specialize in Porsche's, so...

++1. And for me, the rarity of the gal makes it tough to enjoy taking her out for a good hard ride. But I am more than sufficiently satisfied peeking in to the garage a few times a day and seeing the most spectacular car ever built. Everything beyond that is pure upside. Yep, I think I'm in...

Took delivery of my FGT with 200 miles on it. Had custom mats at hand, in the waiting. Never put my feet on the rubber ones. They were immediately put away for posterity.

IMHO it sounds like a lot of work just to add multi-CD's. Mr Shadowman did a very tidy RCA/Aux cable (wrapped in OEM-looking mesh) to which I hang an iPod Touch and leave in the passenger-side 'shelf'. Other than looking like I'm texting in the car when I'm choosing a tune (a CA no-no), it is a...

I'm a big fan of the matte black/dark grey too. Alternatively, though this may only work on Lambo's, the kermit green looks spectacular on those cars:

I just received and installed mine. Perfect design and fit. My left elbow is very happy. Thank you again Shadowman for a perfect solution to an obvious design oversight.

Or is this the beginning of a new 'Shadowman likes power seats' threads....?

Dang. So when Shelby is listing those 'Rare 5 option car', he's not kidding?? :)

Power seats?

Well then my didn't come with one. Yeaaaaa, that's the ticket. Just wasn't there...

Agree. Perfect color. And 20 miles? Wow. Best of luck.

FWIW, I purchased my 200 mile FGT (in the Bony standard paint scheme of course) from Lambo of Houston. Not the lowest price, and had a bit a problem with the purchase, much apparently out of the hands of the dealer. They went out of their way to make it all right, and the car was ultimately...

Those wheels are one of the first things that caught my eye when I first saw (age 9 or so) the original. I had a visually similar set (American Racing I think) on my 914 in grad school (I know, many historic and good car taste violations here) to try to recreate the look. I know that some have...

This is a really nice look. It's really too bad that the stock wheels are significantly heavier than the optioned wheels. To me, they have a simpler, classic, utilitarian look (don't forget that for OCD's they are easier to clean). But the weight, unsprung weight DQ's them from the get go else...

Often you here stories about a classic being sold and then regretting it later. Very few times do you hear about the individual who had the wisdom to keep the heirloom - either for reasons of sentiment or valuation. And far more rare still when it's the wife of the owner who urges not to sell...

Plotting all of this? Is there an existing plot, or a way to calculate the variance in potential power output of the FGT motor as octane varies? and/or as 'energy density' (what are the units here?) varies? As Tim C. heard over dinner last week, my OCD nature gives EP a good run for top OCD...

Maybe so, but doesn't it also stand to reason that Hoosiers on all 4 would be better still? Since the folks in this crowd often goes to great lengths to maximize performance, which I certainly applaud, I must be missing something here.

First time there. It was even bigger than I expected. As a rookie, it seemed, not surprisingly, like a buyers market. Especially for anything foreign. I really liked that (Seinfeld) Porsche Speedster. Too bad I didn't sign up as a bidder. Tough seating and hard to get a good look at the action...

I'm very sorry for your loss Bony. My condolences to you and family.
