Thanks mucho!

PS Was thinking of you the other day when watching the Blu-Ray Wall-E (that had to be the best one yet).

I just received the magazine. The photos look great, congrats again to Jared! I saw your car in the other article as well (997 vs GT3) which actually features another member's car, Snowboarder54 -- congrats pal!. I haven't had a minute to read that one yet but as soon as things slow down I'm digging into it.

Great!

Snowboarder was so good to us. We got to crash in his amazing house in that amazing location... got to drive his amazing car. It's really, really well set up. Best GT3 I've ever driven. Just the setup alone is spectacular.

Did you guys do that?

He's such a cool cat and the reason we stayed with our RS order. He had the first GT3 we know of in Cali and of course "forced" us to drive it

Here's his car and we're guilty as charged (TC Design did the alignment for us) on his, wheels, exhaust, LWF etc..:

Congratulations to Sharkwerks, Jared and Synergy for an getting such an outstanding write up in what is considered to be THE premier Porsche magazine! You all have a lot to be proud of!

At this point, I'd like to rub it in to anyone's face who cares to listen.....I got to whip Jared's car around CMP at speed for several laps, without him even being in the car!
It was a thrill to drive and it handled like it was on rails. Great boomin' stereo too.

LOL! You know what there's a pic with the water by the side of the cars with some good sets rolling in! Ralph's told me to come up there and try out some big wave surfing but...

ROFL thanks Chris! I'll be thinking about that as I climb back into the hybrid to fight in traffic tonight:P

Thanks Dan, seriously I think the Excellence (and Jarod) were pretty darn brave to do this kind of thing... I'm glad it showed that for us tweakers there's always room for improvement and on any platform. I heard the stereo too... very good but I liked the Motons more

Great articles! Got my issue Saturday and really enjoyed the read! You guys have built some outstanding cars and products! JC, congratulations on assembling what everyone unanimously calls a superb build! No tellin' what a hillbilly an' sum money an' ideas cun do! You rock! Really enjoyed your observations on the other cars as well as the GT3. Reading sbout S Car Go's turbo and Sharky's RS350 Cayman was outstanding, too. Way to go, Alex! What great compliments on a fine design that takes a wonderful platform to a new level! Now, how do I get my copy AUTOgraphed by you guys?
