Porsche on the Salt Flats
Some pictures from the Salt Flats earlier last week....
I'll post more as I upload them onto my desktop.
For the sad news...I blew the motor on my Boxster. It's now at the dealership to determine if they're going to replace it for me under warranty if not...it's going to FarnbacherLoles for the GTR upgrades....

Remind them that it is a Porsche and they are driven at triple digit speeds everyday in Germany.
Keep us informed on what they do.

I just dropped the car off at Pepe Porsche and we'll see what they say....
I just called for a quote on a 3.8L X51 & Tranny and it's only $12k...I may just go that route....380hp on a Boxster? Now that's POWER!

I'll have the ultimate sleeper car....I'm waiting on FVD for some more details on the setup, in regards to it's compatibility with a 5speed. If I do go this route, I'm doing it myself....I can't screw it up anymore. I think what it boils down to it software tuning....
On the way from Roslyn Porsche to Pepe Porsche...
Pouring itself out Friday night
