Sorry Jason, I don't have a camcorder. This car's been eatin' all my audio-visual duckets.

Suffice to say, I'm impressed with the power and especially the torque which starts to get beefy at 2200 rpm, and doesn't go away until somewhere after 5k.

The chassis feels much stiffer than the '71, takes turns much faster, and with far less body roll as well.

Thanks! They're 2" wider per side in front, and 3" per side in back.

Thanks Laz. To me, this car just looks plain sick in person compared to Sue's '71 because it's wider at both ends, and has all the stainless steel exhaust pornography hanging out from underneath. The Kerscher 911 dash and the 944 seats kind of give it an exotic touch.

I drove it to work today, and during my lunch hour I went for a 20 mile highway drive to see where the temps would end up again. I drove pretty hard for 15 miles or so to get a good heat load, and drove REAL hard leaving one stoplight. The right head barely made it to 300, and the left one was about 280 (inverse of what I expected, but maybe because of the heat shield under the left bank covering my oil plumbing), and the oil temp was exactly halfway up the gauge. I probed the dipstick tube with a thermometer for 15 min immediately after shutdown and observed 176 degrees, and dropping, and it was about 65 degrees ambient temp today.

Sweet looking ride. Glad to hear it is doing well.
Bring it down to Dyno Day in march and join in the Type 4 line up.
