And I've just seen Marcel Fassler named on one of the cars. One of my racing heroes.

Thanks for your amazing in depth videos! And I'm really sorry the interview didn't work out. Is it okay to ask what your profession is? (if you don't want to answer that openly on the internet I can totally understand!) I personally have no problem talking about mine, I am an automotive engineer, working directly for a car manufacturer in the development department.

Thanks! I'm a strategy manager with a background in analytics and demand planning, spent the last four and a half years in CPG - got laid off back in August and just haven't found the right role yet. Happily not pressed for cash but would still rather be working. Haha

4:10 - Called Velocity stacks. They are connected directly to the individual throttle bodies. They are different lengths to tune a broader power band for each cylinder.

Ah good to know, thanks.

Sorry about the job interview, it's their loss. But to know you have a 928 just makes me envious. Fantastic car, you show your class yet again. And it's another great video. Thanks

[@lenslr]

Thanks Paul - Yeah, disappointed but it happens. Something will come along eventually. The 928 is definitely my problem child car, working on converting it over for track use. The previous owner really did a number on the wiring and I don't have the patience or skill to return it to its original state. Still great to drive though.

@@lenslr. There's a English channel on KZbin by a guy called Harry Metcalfe. He was the publisher of EVO magazine, which I don't know whether you got it in the states. He does car road tests. There's a very interesting one on a 928, which the owner, who's in the video has converted to a manual. It's a very well done video which may be of interest to you.

@@lenslr. The Channel is called Harry's garage.
