Me taking my turn racing a 2005 PCA club race enduro in a Chicago based 944S2. I put it on the Pole for the race team, and we came away with a solid 2nd place finish in class. I raced my own 1983 944 in SCCA years ago. These cars are really balanced well.

Misc. detail shot from under the car... Starter motor is cozy with this header. It will get a heat barrier wrap as well. That loose wire is the O2 sensor connection. It will plug in once the exhaust is fabricated.
