Coming from an outsider and somone who is in sales and does not own a porsche it is nice to read this about any vendor that cares so much about their customer. I have read many magazine articles on Sharkwerks and have been extremly impressed with the way they run the business and the quality of their parts from this forum as well. Being in sales and dealing with passionate people all day every day is something I can relate to and I can tell you sometimes it really is not an easy thing to do. We can all learn from these guys who are not only passionate about their parts and Porsche in general but are also passionate about doing the right thing for their customer because they want to not because they HAVE to.

While I dont own a porsche I have sold and driven many of them in my life and it has been a life long dream to own one of these great cars one day. I am also a huge car nut and into just about all cars. I know there will be a day when I will own my 911 S or GT3 with a manual transmission and I will be calling sharkwerks for any aftermarket parts after seeing how great they are to all of their customer. Great job guys and I wish you the best of luck in sales during these tough times.

 

When I first read the title of this thead the word INSTITUTION!!! stood out the most and my first thought was it would be about the crazy guys at Sharkwerks and that they should be in an INSTITUTION!!!

It is good fortune for all of us who know the Sharkwerks crew that they are still roaming free.

SHARKWERKS ---- "There is no substitute"

 

Wow honestly guys and Slowcart, I'm seriously speechless (and embarrassed heh!). This is so nice to hear and it's nice to be wanted/appreciated

Thank you very much sir... thanks for understanding where we are coming from. This thing we have and do is really a choice rather than anything else and it's become a way of life for us. We're happy to be in it and you can't get a more passionate lot than you guys!

Thank you 1Gunner (don't want to give away your real name hehe)... James gets a kick out of this being Canadian... Dan's been picking my pocket lately though. He made me buy a Speedster

Thanks jenk12m:P Eric was/is awesome so say hi

Thank you and I've had a pair of 996TT's, which admittedly were not stock so I've been around the block and back As long as you don't do what I did to mine you'll be fine The way those pick up power is scary quick... Got a 05 Turbo S here today that we're doing a Europipe, EVOMSit, DV's etc.. on but even that bumps the power up by 100hp

LOL thanks! I can promise the weather (and roads) are pretty good out here. I feel so bad seeing all those news stories about the East Coast chill right now

996GT3 excites the heck out of us... I love the fact it's lighter, got no PSM and other electronic stuff (wait till you guys see the plate we got). The motor is apart and what we do know is the heads aren't quite as nicely flowed (valves aren't the same either) as the 7's. The intake manifold is different, the TB smaller but I think we've identified a way to make up a few more ponies there as well. The exhaust/headers could be improved but with it being lighter I think she'll give our green Kermit a run for her money. SnowBoarder54's going to bring out his old-school 930-turbo skills out for us when testing, right?

Yeah CPA's and wives don't seem to like us very much

He's a smart guy then isn't he

Thank you Kenny. Seriously man it's pretty much my version of the American dream. Doing what you want and how you want it doesn't seem possible in some countries (even in the UK where I'm from). This country (and especially you guys) has been so supportive not just once but twice actually. The second time being now

Haha... yes she does. We noticed a whole new head on one side. I should have told them to just leave it off in a box to save us time Monty Python... damn that's old school. It's all about Top Gear these days my friend.

 

LOL, again i watched top gear again. i dont understand why ppl like clarkson. some seem to think he's funny. i rather stare at a blank wall.

 

oh that's just his speil... he's acting like a plonker (and the guy we all love to hate). Kinda grew up with him from the original Top Gear in the 80s/90s.... Tiff Needell etc.. The other two make it work And we all know Clarkson hates Porsches but if you know that going into the show then it's all ok.

 

perhaps i should venture to UK sometime then i might understand the brits better.

 

Hehe yes... Or you can probably see why we're so weird here in these short movies... It'll help break you in:

Agree totally with Op but will referain from using "insitution" due to the madhouse definition...hehe.. altho that may well seem to be the case on occassion im sure. My dealings with SW have always been absolutly No 1., and being in Aus, for me, has meant a great deal to be able to do biz with an outfit that is trustworthy and reliable on all fronts...so keep up that P car passion and service Sharkster...youre making it a hard act for the rest to follow and, best of luck to you guys for that.

 

I've been a fan for over a decade...

 

WOW!! very impressive remarks and accolades. I hope to be a customer soon then. Congrats on a wonderful reputation.

 

That's way cool!! Who would have ever guessed back then where the Sharkster would end up!!

 

LOL, you are much easier to understand than monty python.

 

I wish they sell their stroker kit outside.

I am willing to purchase one for my overseas customer, but I guess no chance.

 

Thanks so much for saying that- means a lot and likewise... you have a lot of passion for these car(s) so you make it easy

Haha now there's an image I haven't seen in a long, long time I was actually getting wheels for a client that's rather high up at Nvidia last week and we were looking back at the olden days

Thank you ever so much... You guys make it possible and worth it. That's the truth

No kidding eh? I mean fiddling with computers... Luckily Dan does that now

Good... I see I'm being Americanized now

hey redpunk, it's not so much I don't want to sell the parts it's that they require custom tooling to even install so it wouldn't be fair to just ship parts out etc... On the engine builds we also like to test, break-in and so forth. Want to make sure etc... In terms of parts we do sell our exhausts etc... as separate items

 

Damn ain't that the truth about a few east coast "Tuners".....we just do not have a Porsche Tuner that comes close to what Sharkwerks can offer and 100% customer satisfaction to boot!

I am telling you Alex you all could double your business and revenues here on this side of the mississippi river......
