SharkWerks under investigation for

contributing to my delinquency.

I should have known something was wrong when I showed up and Sharky had that villainous smile on his face. I just stopped by their shop with my 996TT Porsche from HELL for a minor exhaust adjustment and NOTHING MORE. And then... Sharky turned into Mr. Hyde! He held me down against my will while James tied me up and gagged me. They put me in the corner of the shop and proceeded to engage in many nefarious activities.

First they completed the installation of an AWE exhaust (completely against my will). Then they tore out the stock headers and bolted on the new EVO headers. Sharky kept walking around saying, "More horsepower, hea ,hea, hea." Then he went and got his laptop computer and gave my car a GIAC flash. The next thing I know, to my HORROR, James is installing new EVO diverter valves, and after that an EVO intake!

Who knows what other abuses they applied to the Porsche from HELL, but while they were at lunch I managed to get the gag off and chew through the ropes I was tied up with. I grabbed the key to my car and sped off as fast as I could, which was quite a bit faster than I've ever sped off before. I couldn't believe my car. I must have been doing at least 100 MPH just in the parking lot before I slowed down to merge into the street!

Something is definately wrong w/ my car and it's shocking! As I hit the onramp to the freeway I shift up to 3rd gear and accelerate through about 3500 RPM's and then... my head hits the headrest, my eyeballs sink into my skull and I feel like I'm falling backward. In an effort to overcome inertia I grab for something to pull myself forward. I find the gearshift and pull it into 4th as I fall back and it feels like I'm being SHOT OUT OF A CANNON. I've never felt THAT kind of accelleration force. It's unfrigginbelievable.

I finally made it home safely.

I'm posting to see if anyone has had the same experience w/ Sharkwerks. Maybe we can band together and notify the proper authorities so that these maniacs can be stopped before they modify ALL the turbos while their owners are tied up in the corner. They're outta control and something HAS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY!!!!

All in fun of course.

I can't recommend SharkWerks enough. Alex and James are a couple of talented guys who know their Porsches and take their work seriously. James is just a really meticulous guy who handles his tools as well as anyone I've seen and does an outstanding job. He even spotted a couple things and fixed them even though they weren't what I was there for. Not many wrenches will do that.

My car is now even more amazing, thanks to SharkWerks. I can't believe the power increase. I wish you guys all the best and thanks for the great work. I'm more than satisfied.

I know exactly how you feel! Our cars have the same engine mods. I just don't get used to it! I can handle it, and I'm no longer afraid, but I'm not used to it.

Heya David, you scared the bee-geee-zuuus out of me I didn't want anyone finding out about those farm animals. We were only helping them over the fence...

After the nightmare you went through originally with the car I'm really thrilled to see you get some enjoyment out of it. As I was saying to you, with that new engine of yours (who new Spain would be so good?), the light weight flywheel and clutch and the rest of the gear, James was saying that Stage II pulled as well as anyone he's ever driven (and he's done a good few of those lol!). Try not to get any tickets and if you do send them to James. Funnily enough he has more than I do.

Seriously thank you so much for a very touching/fun thread. We really do work hard and take pride in what we do (I'm just an "office boy" as James calls me but man I can do 1/4'erly sales tax like nobody's bidness!) but the most fun part of the day was waiting for your reaction after hammering the throttle. EVO/GIAC have really nailed that Stage II down and we're really lucky to be with them. They've been so darned supportive of what we do. And if you think we're finished with you yet you're sadly mistaken! PSS9s... PSS9s and then more PSS9s!

We'll all meet in at the same Performance-Clinic when we're 85... I'll still be driving something Porsche-esque... A sweet 924 with 4 turbos.
