It's been a very good year...

I just wanted to thank all of you on here since it's been a fantastic year at SharkWerks and so I figured I'd treat myself to a more comfortable daily driver. Kermit is great and all but I'm getting older, my bones ache more and the roads aren't helping the stiff suspension. I miss England so please welcome my new daily D:







It's got suicide doors and a button to open and close them. It's also got a couch for seats:


Extra fluffy sheep-skin carpets perfect for the track and no sport chrono:


I am so over carbon fiber interiors and hence I spec'd out a couple of trees as well for the interior:


For wheels I decided to go with 21s. 22s would ride too firm plus I wanted less rotational mass and better braking performance. It already weighs 5400 pounds so I don't want to get too heavy.


Best of all this Phantom Drophead Coupe is actually a convertible:


Anyone know of a bolt-in roll bar? I will be tracking occasionally... So maybe I'll check with Tony@TCD.


Anyways keep those orders coming my friends it takes a few dimes to fill her 17.6 gas tank up. Very fuel efficient with 11mpg city & 18hwy

Damn dude, you are definentaly balling. One of my buddies called you guys not too long ago asking about starting a tuning shop like Sharkwerks, but in Atlanta instead and he told me that you guys told him there wasnt much money in it. Obviously there's some type of money in it. Congratulations though.

The entire time as I was reading I was thinking to myself "what kind of Porsche guy drives around in a Rolls....?"

A Bentley would already be a long shot...

Funny. I read your sarcasm in the thread but, if I'm honest, I was hoping it was true. I was ready to put an offer down for Kermit!

Alex - LOVE my sharkswerk bypass on my 2011 GT3, and LOVE the 'big' black baloney-sliced tips that you offer. Aggressively climbing RPMs along side a half mile or so of jersey barriers is a glorious experience....lasts so much longer than the underpass/bridge experience!
