S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here? Build Thread

[Fabman]

Found that Sonoma video, this was my goto video for the Porsche crowd when they would bad mouth the stick axles cars. Would love to be able to drive like this when I grow up... but I think its way, way too late.

I was there for this, watched it first hand. Awesome performance.

You know, the next best thing to an irs is a cambered rear.

True,,,, to be honest, it was @blacksheep-1 who made me think I did not need one... Like his deep disdain for the Watts link. . But not to blame him for everything, always looking for a reason not to spend big money ..... (maybe I should not blowup up engines then.)

One fellow down here is putting a camaro zl1 rear suspension into his twin turbo S197 Mustang..... The car is supposed to enter our category, but reallly have no idea how that will turn out..

I remember that Cortex did that with a S550 rear end in a S197 but it did not seem to be worth it.

well, it seems to help, and is a lot cheaper than an IRS, and in the long run, I'm not sure that it might not be better

Looks like a Porsche Party in ITE this month at Laguna Seca.
3 of them are coming from Nevada. I don't recognize any of these guys.
I wonder if they all know each other?
Should be a interesting addition to our regular lineup.


Mustang in the middle....like a Porsche sandwich.

You're right - it's missing Sean Thibodaux with a total of 60 points.

The official response from SFRSCCA is:
"He is from the Reno Region so no points will be awarded to him from the San Francisco Region."
