Not a total sleeper, these side stickers will stay on at least thru this fall:

It’ll be wearing those stickers in Ohio later this month:

GTX3576... I like those turbos. There's even a twin scroll internal gate housing available for them if you like truck parts.

Top 2 award (whatever that means) for my 928 S4 twin turbo in an Ohio car show. Everybody loves the car! Just not as much as they loved that 58 Speedster Carrera next to my car (...only 56 were made, now worth over $1M).

Still an incredible job on that 928. The execution is beyond great.

Likely the final video update from John Kuhn on my car:

Thr driving impressions will be delayed by a week as I am in Europe on a personal real estate shopping spree and can’t drive the car home. It’ll get shipped to my wife who’ll give it a spin or two on my test track (I-95) before I get home.

I’ve been driving the car for a bit and I have to say that it’s not as fast, in any practical sense, as a modern supercar. But it is extremely fast, from a rolling start, straight line and it is way cooler (to me and my friends) than a store-bough supercar:

The younger generation... I picked up my oldest daughter Milla from swim practice today with the twin turbo 928. She was looking at it a bit funny as it’s louder than other parents’ cars. Merging onto my test track (I-95), I lit up the tires on the first gear, then on the second gear, and finally on the third gear. Now she likes the car.
