they have no idea that there's an event going on over there that's called "M Power and 911 Meet"

Can you explain this Hieu?

Thank you,
pin


checked if there's any event called "M Power and 911 Meet" going on either late July or early August. I also gave them the dates that Hieu posted here and asked them if they are having any events on those dates.

July 29th - Christian music concert

August 5th - Skip Barber Driving/Racing School


I sold my Nowack 500N a couple of days ago and I am already thinking of my next project. For powerplant, I am talking with Nowack about adding a blower to my next 500N. If anyone can do it, Nowack is the man for the job. For those not familiar with Nowack, Nowack Sr. was a BMW Engineer, he helped developed the BMW Braham F1 engine and later co-developed the McLaren BMW F1 engine. This man has the knowledge of what makes a BMW unique. I want the powerplant to be a V8 BMW powerhouse, but some of my colleagues have suggested something else. They want me to drop in a 550 GTO V12 @680HP, with the restrictor removed, you're looking at 740HP. Popping in a V12 is not a hard task, and it makes me giggles like a little boy everytime I think of a V12 M5. For transmission, Nowack is going to throw in an E46 M3 SMGII, the only problem is will the SMGII handle 600HP or 680HP???, I prefer the SMGII over the Ferrari F1 paddle shift system because its much faster. I test drove an E46 M3 SMGII in Italy and its sweeeeet!!!!, if it can't handle 600HP+, the Ferrari system is my second choice, its a bit slower, much smoother, and will handle up to 1000HP.

Hood, bumpers, and trunk will be replaced with carbon fiber pieces, I am also reinsulating the car with Ferrari fiber fabric, in all, I am looking to shave off about 250lbs.
Any suggestions???? especially in color choice.

Hieu
