I don't get Excellence magazine, but I heard that one of our members cars was featured. Anyone see it yet?

Went out and made 2 purchases. As Flash mentioned, its an LS1 swap. Read through a few paragraphs and I like the direction there going. Theres also a shared thought by all of us on the 968T RS in the ICON section.





Pics shot w/ a camera phone so it may be a little dark.

It's Tom Egan's car. Not a bad article at all and an awesome car! It's very nice to see the swap shown in a somewhat positive light.

I'm glad to see a v8 968 mentioned in a positive light, too.



I thought the article left me hanging a little bit -- I really wish we could have been treated to some real numbers (dyno, accel times, track lap times, etc). They were at a track, so the least we could have been treated to would be the author's impression driving the car on the track. Oh well....

Almost like Pete Stout's 968 makeup issue - nice modification article and a pinup picture.

I finally got a hold of the magazine and read the article. Man that is a NICE looking car <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/ohmy.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> And it would be nice to read some more about it too.
