Yep, we are going right there, even though the front wheels are turned to left lock. It was a close one, but I caught it. RAT Power, gotta love it. If you look closely, you can see the heat coming out the rear and the rear wheels spinning.

No problem Chris. It really is a beautiful set up. I have had people tell me I need to put a mirror under it so you can see the exhaust. I put a nice Boxster heat shield over where I had to cut the 916 bumper, but the plate is just tall enough to fit and covers the shield. I figured that I would not cut the plate just in case Johnny law saw it and wanted to make a big deal about it. When you come down to Road Atlanta again, let me know. I will bring it up and you can take it for a spin.

I handn't realized that the shape of the 916 bumper forces the liicense plate to be quite a bit lower than on the stock bumper. It would look perfect with a European plate, long and narrow.

Ran an autocross this past weekend in the 90+++ heat. I had to let her idle for several min. to get the oil temp up to 180 before my run. After 1:50 of hard driving, oil temp under 200 and CHT below 350. It was running strong and I was less than 8 seconds off the FTD and I was running street tires to their race rubber.

SWEET!
It was hotter than HELL this past weekend in our neck of the woods!
