The 912-6 rocks!!

Got the 912-6 on the track last weekend and it rocks! It flew out of corners and the carrera brakes were outstanding. Can't wait to do it again in December.



Corner 2 at Carolina Motorsports Park

Nice pic John! :agree: The 912-6 looks at home in that setting.

Helping out on the car, and taking a drive in it a couple of weeks ago really lit a fire under me to find one. Mabye it's the weight, I dunno, but that car accellerates HARD!!!

John told me I couldn't drive it anymore untill I finish and sell my @*%$#&^%$* Volkswagen.

Joe, I figured you would sell the TR6 first, watch out, I'll find you a killer deal before you know it, might not even require a trip to MI.

Jake, registration for the Dec DE down here is open, Carolina PCA, you're welcome to come and play with us.

Funniest/worst part of the event was the drifter boy with the ragged out Tercell on the track. Definit back marker material.

Zen, drop Rob at www.dcauto.com a line, he had a stack of torsion bars at his place, should have just what you need.

Didn't have time to get it installed before the event, but it will be ready for the next one in Dec.

I'll be sure to post some.

Zen,
If I can get enough ducks in a row I'll be headed there Saturday. I'll be glad to pick some bars up for you.

sorry guys. my reviewing postings has been shotgun method at best. yeti, thanks for the offer, but i think my ducks died due to lack of care and feeding. randy, any idea how much stiffer those are than stock VW? seems like they could be too stiff.
