Where's My RedPill?

[VoodooBoss]

Probably not until Aug 25th at Sonoma. I'm waiting on my new 19x11 APEX wheels.

Another photo with the lowering springs installed. So far I'm liking the ride and although I'm being careful I haven't scraped on anything.

I got a couple of those. I opened one of them up and used my RR Ford Touch Up paint to paint over the stripes. Now it's almost matching my car! Surprisingly, the OE Race Red touch up paint is almost an exact match.

Noticeable difference in gearing between the stock PSS and R spec SC2’s.

 

[302 Hi Pro]

A definite difference in tyre height, how is the throttle, any noticeable difference?

 

[VoodooBoss]

Yes there is a noticeable difference in acceleration.

I have listed my car for sale in the For Sale forum. Unless you're interested in buying my car please ask general questions in this thread and not the For Sale thread.

Wow, cool car. I've been offline for a bit, just viewing. What are you replacing it with?

 

[VoodooBoss]

I purchased a 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera S with lots of go fast goodies. This is my third 911.

So, what's the story....spit it out man, inquiring minds want to know.

Well the story is that losing an engine in my Boss 302 and then 2.5 years later in my GT350 has taken the air out of my spare for tracking a dual purpose car. Shortly after purchasing my GT350 several TMO members and I attended the GT350 Track Attack program and drove the race cars on the second day. It was clear to me then that a race car would be a better option for me than a dual purpose car. After the oil pump gears failed in my GT350 that came into clear focus for me. Many TMO members have gone down this path and I’m the latest. I’m taking a break from tracking this year and if I get back into it I’ll look at buying a used FR500S or 302S.


In the meantime I wanted something that I would enjoy driving on the weekends and I can still use at an occasional track day. I’ll probably be either buying a Mustang for my recently turned 16 son or possibly a Focus ST. Stay tuned.


As for TMO there will be no changes in my commitment to running the best car forum on the internet or my devotion to Ford. Hopefully TMO members won’t mind me hanging around the track in my Porsche. Frankly, the Mustang crowd is more to my liking than the Porsche crowd. My two favorite cars have always been Mustang and the 911 and this is my third 911. From my perspective both Mustang and 911 have a lot in common including winning a lot of road races, virtually the same life cycle and rabid devotion from their fans. Lots of Porsche guys own Mustang’s and Mustang guys own Porsche’s.

You mean you don't wanna be dumb like me and have 3 dual purpose cars?

TMO wouldn't be the same without you.

If I were younger, I'd consider having a dedicated track only car but I'm not. Younger that is.

GLWS Rick. The car looks outstanding. The Porsche ain't so bad either.

My Boss is crying....................

 

[302BOB]

Rick, You may like that red line more than most of us here..be careful with that Porsche.............

 

[Mad Hatter]

Say it aint so... LOL .. Now we can't say mean things about 911's...... but its terribly sensible and grown up of you!! I have no hope for such sanity any time soon. But you convinced me to slowly keep evolving to a track only car.... Shame to hear about the GT350, I missed that. But glad you are sticking around to keep TMO alive and kicking. Really is the best car forum I have seen.

 

[302BOB]

Hey, Mustangs aren't the only crown jewel on the block. (maybe on my block) Let Rick enjoy his new fling and let him sing...............

But glad you are sticking around to keep TMO alive and kicking. Really is the best car forum I have seen.

+1 and enjoy the 911!

 

[Grant 302]

Now we can't say mean things about 911's

Not about the 911s...just some of the owners!

I don't expect that to change.
