Shank Red Beast Sighting

The cars looks even better in person with the black wheels. One of those things where the pix don't do it justice.

Furthermore, the Techart exhaust is probably the best exhaust I've heard so far. It's similar in tone to my Cargraphic, except the staccato is very tight, with no hint or raspiness. Most Turbo exhausts I've heard have some raspiness to it.

As the exhaust packing material settles over time, if the tightness of the pulses and tone remain, then I think that'd be the exhaust to have in terms of sound.

Stephen, there is no annoying drone on the highway, yet under Wide Open Throttle, it gets as loud as a fabspeed, with a tighter note. It does remind me of the cargraphic tone, but as you said...tighter.

I'll try to film some video clips today or tomrw of the exhaust.

Ryan took my Techart Race exhaust and it sounds incredible. It overtook my favorite position. It is the sickest, meanest sounding exhaust I have ever heard and the resonance is very little. At Wot and cold start, the car is sick. Much better sounding than the Cargraphic I used to hail. It also has a tighter rev, in other words, you rev the car and the needle moves quickly up and then back down to the original rev very quickly, unlike the Cargraphic which actually has a delay.

Ryan also took my Strosek Rear Wing, Michellin PS2's, and Strosek Front Lip Spolier. Let me prefece by saying I don't like red Porsche's, but, have to say Ryan's car looks sick. Mean and all business! Wheels look incredible in motion, love the much larger strosek front lip spoiler and the brake ducts complete the car. Awesome, awesome car that sounds pissed and mean! Techart Exhaust is the new king. I took some "videos" which are poor quality. Ryan and I will take some more videos later.

BTW, for those who haven't heard my car was t-boned on Memorial day by some dumbass girl. She tried to run but left her front bumper with licence plate at the scene Anyway, my two week Turbo is no more

Lou... that sucks big time... unbelieveable. After all the time waiting and anticipating, this happens... I feel for you man. Anytime you need a Porsche fix, just give Ryan a call... he's got enough to spare... then we'll go cruising. BTW, can't wait to see/ride your Z8... Z8 was one of the final cars I was trying to decide on. Awesome car.

I was with Perillo all day today driving one of his Z8's! That car is so sick! Went by Ryan's, he drove it, ask him about his thoughts. BTW, Tyson(Hamann7), Ryan, maybe Tim(colorchange), and I are getting together, you available tomorrow and/or Sunday? Any other Chicago guys wanna hook up? Dave, Joe, Vik, anyone else let me know.
