Planet 9

While I love my daily driver CS, and the Mrs. loves her RS 60 Boxster ...

I just can't wait to take my track car/weekend fun machine for a spin. It is a 1988 Carrera Club Sport that was ground up rebuilt to Jerry Woods to PCA F class specs. It is set up for the track with race seats, harnesses, roll bar, and the engine and suspension have been completely revamped. It is such a blast to drive I can't wait to oversteer my way around corners on the track.

If I can drive this fast on the track I should really be able to fly in the CS.

I saw it at Momentum this week, that's one hell of a toy! Are you going to sign up for the PCA June DE?
How about some pictures!

Is this the car?

"A couple of years ago I asked Kevin to create for me the ultimate, no expense spared street/track classic air cooled 911, built specifically to the PCA rule book for stock class racing. We decided it would be a fun diversion from the usual GT3RS efforts. After an exhaustive search, I located an exceptional one owner, low mileage sunroof delete coupe in pure stock condition. We sent the original 3.2 liter and G-50 to Jerry Woods Enterprises for a complete blueprinted build to spec. The $25K build up(engine alone)might seem a little excessive for a stock spec 3.2, but in our experience, JWE is the best in the business. (For those who do not know, google Jerry Woods + Porsche). Rich Walton @ JWE will document all specs of the build and dyno run-in. The suspension and brakes (in excess of $15K alone) represent (in our opinion) the best available within the rule book, the interior w/tan leather Sparco Pro seats (courtesy of Hennessey Motorsports), fuel cell, roll-bar, safety restraints, all represent what we feel are the best available for a street legal car.

The car is just amazing. When finished, Kevin sadly protested that the car is just too nice of an example to place on the track in competition.
I have driven the car on the street only during a restrained 2000 mile break in. I have never placed the car on the track, even for a DE, however-I'm very tempted to have our race engineers do a track side set up during upcoming testing, put Andy Lally (talk about a ringer) in the cockpit and assault the PCA class/lap record at Barbers (just for grins).

Of the more than 50 911s I have owned, this is perhaps the best classic example--certainly the very best available for less than the cost of the build-up. I'm making room in my Birmingham garage for a new GT2.
Somebody is going to be very, very happy."

That's the car. Where did you find that "blog" I would love to read the entire thing.

June DE may not be possible. I am going through Chemo right now and my energy level is hit or miss. My treatments run through the summer so I am looking forward to really driving this dream car in the fall for sure. I bought this to motivate me to get well and really learn how to drive. Do you think I made a good choice?

Sorry to hear about the Chemo, hope your back to full strength soon.
Awsome car, Carl was raving about it. I'm looking forward to meeting you and seeing that thing out at Barber's some day.
NASA is having an event May 30th, they are supposed to have a car show and are asking Porsche to be represented. You might want to show some of those cars off if you feel up to it.

Good luck,

Dave
