Pics of my Tail of the Dragon photoshoot

As I posted before, the Dragon was covered in cops. I got a ticket. So we had to take 28 a little out to get some good pic time. This was done by another forum that voted my car Ride of the Month. With that, winners get a free photoshoot. Here's what I've gotten from the photog so far.

Nice, Jared.
I like the first one the best- the clouds reflected on the hood.

Thanks everyone!

Wheels are 18" C93, not C21. Fronts are 18X9 et46 with no spacers. Rears are 18X11.5 et65 with 7mm spacers holding 315 Toyos. No scrubbing. I've had 4 sets of 19s and one set of 20s. Love the 18s. I'm a big fan of the smaller wheel setup now.

In case anyone's looking at this and really likes the car, it's for sale. Check my signature. These pics were taken Saturday, so this is EXACTLY how the car looks now!

Looks awesome Jared! I thought you had big Brembo's on the car?

What's next a new GT3RS?

Yep. I DID have big Brembos on it. They sucked at the track. Wobbling. Too much bite when driven well meant that I stripped 2 caliper bolts out. They got too hot. They faded more. So now I have PF rotors and pads all around, with Synergy rebuilt calipers and they are awesome. Much better, and lighter too.

Don't know what's next, actually. I'm at a crux point in life. Gotta make a decision, but not yet. First decision was that I needed to sell this one. I don't think I'd sell this one at such a loss to buy another 911 though. Possibly something sedanish, and a cheap race car. Dunno.

Yeah. This will be one of those things that my heart remembers fondly but my brain hates to think about. Someone's going to get an amazing and well sorted car. I think it looks pretty darn good too. Kinda rare to have a good looking car AND one set up to outrun anything in the turns too. That was my goal with this car.

Thank you so much for the props.

The car looks even better in person! It's very impressive, and always a fixture at the local Cars and Coffee.

Jared, I'm getting a wheel bearing replaced in my Bimmer this weekend, then I've got to take you up on a dragon run before you part with this bad boy.
