Simular to what occurs when a car comes up for sale and it inevitably gets made into a post then ends up being examined by the best in "The World" warts and all......has anyone in the group ever thought about putting their car in the danger zone only to wonder what those in "The World" would say? What pointers or suggestions might be made?

I'm not talking about the COTM, which is great, what I am talking about is having the cojones and confidence in your whip to put it on the block and receive unbiased feedback about it.

Could you Handle the truth?

Why would you cool a 914 with water?

For more power, to keep it running on four cylinders, to avoid the whole thing melting aluminum and turning into a frickin' fireball, and to irritate the holy hell out of PCA and/or councours guys. Wave as you go by, watch their faces, it's great fun.
