CJV- is this it? 924 Carrera GTR
Kraftwerk,
No that is not it. Again similar. The pics look a little different in comparison. Besides, the car I have is one of two produced specifically to be run by the Porsche factory team in La Mans. In addition the power rating is far in excess of the 375 hp in the article and I have not done a thing to the car since we purchased it from the Porsche library. Windows are different and so are the fenders.
It does have mechanical fuel injection, dry sump and large intercooler up front. It also has those brakes. It is also about 100 kg lighter than the cars pictured.
I'll have some pics posted as soon as sharkster comes over tomorrow morning.

In conversation he let on that he owns a few cars including a Jag XJ220. I think I remember that it was still in Canada due to import issues, and it sounded like he had a small collection up there...

You guys are too funny. No 962 Dauer. No way to federalize one at a reasonable cost yet. Sharkster will see a few cars. This warehouse is one of three used.

Thanks Chad it was great catching up and that was really fun seeing those two P-cars and probably (one of the only manual AMG Mercedes in the US?)... Chad is right at first glance you think it's a street/road car. You really don't know it until you start getting close and then actually sit in it. The doors are so light I thought I was going to take them off with my hands.... Then if you tap around it's all fiber glass. No wonder it weighs so little.Originally posted by cjv

I haven't heard this much 1/4 mile chatter since spending four years on the Funny Car circuit. Damn Boys this is P-Car country.. not NHRA.... Let's all switch feet and hang on..... Never really lived until you've done the 1/4 in 5.87 249.32mph.... Ride that sona*****.... Originally posted by Benjamin Choi

It's about time Chad!
Always wanted to see pictures of some of the exotica that you own.

Kraftwerk,
Looking at the papers, Porsche took two CGT S's and prepared them for Le Mans. Part of the changes included installing the CGT R motor. I was also mistaken about the rated hp. These two cars were rated at 405 hp from Porsche.
We picked up the car from Porsche through Olf (sp) Lang in 1990. It required posting a bond to enter the US. I understand the second car is located in South Africa.
