He is leaving for Leguna Seca next week to run his 997 GT3 CUP in the speed gt/rolex cup.....DROOOOOOOOOL. Once he returns they are going to call me and discuss options. Apparently Bob is a good frriend of Steve Dinan's (its Steve right?), so at first suggested Dinan parts, but I nixed that idea pretty quick. One of his shop tech's wants to pull my turbo's, replace the turbine's, fabricate carbon fiber downpipes and let her rip......I like that tech's thinking  . However, without even asking I know that would be over the budget I want to allocate to exhaust mods and turbo changes are not on the menu until after the warranty period...too hard to return back to stock if something happens.
So, I will have another update next week. I have a feeling what will happen is a full custom exhaust that they can replicate at will, but no mass production. His concentration is on building one off race cars for his clients, maintenance, and aftermarket installation/fabrication, not parts production. Maybe that will change if I push the right buttons.
Once I work out the details for myself and see if I want to go this direction, I will report back. Perhaps someone else in the area would like to meet me there next time I meet w/ Bob and his employees??
OH YEAH, Bob showed up in his Ford GT w/ license plate reading "AtSpeed"...white with blue stripes.  . |
Let me know when and where and I'm down especially since I live in laurel and I think you said his shop is in laurel as well.
