FNG in Dallas...

I already posted under new member section, but someone suggested I post this here as well.

I just picked up my new (to me) 2002 911 4S last night. 15k miles and red with black interior. Its been my dream car since I was a kid.

Anyways, a little about me... I like long walks on the beach, sunsets, pina coladas... oh wait not that kind of site.

For the past 10 years I've been a motorcycle road-racer, not on the street, but on the track. I was an instructor at the Calif Superbike School for 3 years. Won a couple of regional championships, and had alot of fun. Now I've got a daughter in college eating up daddy's racing budget so I've retired for now and moved on to other less dangerous toys. I've raced at most of the better tracks in the U.S including Laguna Seca, Virginia International, Barber Motorsports, Daytona and Road Atlanta, and alot of the smaller tracks around southern Calif, Nevada and Arizona. Hoping to take the car to some of those in the near future.

I moved to Dallas about 2 years ago after living in Phoenix for 15 years.

Anyways, the car hasn't quite been in the garage 24 hours yet, and I'm already looking at the GT3 aero kit, ecu flash and an exhaust... I just can't help myself. Its raining right now or I'd also post a couple pics, but I'm sure you guys already know what a C4S looks like.

But I will throw in a pic on the bike for your amusement...



And a little video from a bike's perspective on the track

Post up some pics when you can!! Welcome to the 6!

There is a yellow C4S 02-04 around town I have seen! You would be the first RED C4S.

Out at Motorsports ranch ? I couldn't agree more on the school. I know how to make a bike go fast around the track, now I'm going to have to find a similar school for cars.
