Bittersweet day...had another nice drive, but when I got home I discovered a nice nail in the right rear tire. I don't have a lead hammer to get the wheel off. I called Superformance and they have them in stock for about $20. Now why wouldn' they give one with the car...or suggest you buy one with the car?

I also do not know where the proper jacking points are. Other than the ery front and very rear - I dont have that kind of jack. Anyone know whre I can get one? Or where the car can be jacked from otherwise?

The clearance I measure is 4 3/8" at the sides. I can't measure the clearance at the bellhousing.

The info I got from Olthoff regarding the switch functions is wrong in teh A/C area. My lower left knob controls cold/heat, the center knob controls das h/floor and the right knob controls defrost/floor. Nice to find this out! Nothing like adding heat to the cockpit on a hot day....

Tried to register it today only to find out the car has no VIN plate. I have to wait until Monday to call Superformance again as they are at the Long Beach Grand Prix...just my luck. I may have to wait until my next visit.

I took the opportunity to put the GT next to my other replica - 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder. 11 Years span the designs.
