Ben,

You are a very lucky guy, not just to have the money to do something like this but to has the kind of wife that is understanding enough to let you live the dream. She's a one in a million.

When in Paris take up Frederic's offer and buy her something special. Something that sparkles in the light.

Awesome Ben!! I'm so glad you/Brian bought it. It's definitely been placed in good hands.

STaSIS (Paul Lambert, Shaun Gillilan) and crew are first rate. You are lucky to have had such a great staff to send you out properly in it. Shaun is an ace and great resource on those STaSIS B5's for you. He actually was one of our head techs for a few years--small world! (It looks like you already have Willans harness so no need for Schroth's).

PPS--Nice sticker on the rear wing there.

Ben,

I am VERY happy the car finally made it to you and your Uncle. It could not have gone to two better owners.

If you like, I see Michael Galati quite a bit at the races and could ask him to sign something off the car for you since it was his old ride? Thought it might be a nice touch.

Also, here are some photos of your car eariler this year in the SPEED World Challenge Touring Car season. Jeff Courtney took very good care of it for you . Jeff is still in the points lead for Rookie of the Year, although the field has tightened up in the last few races.













And we will throw in a Flag Girl for you



Very glad to hear your first outting was such a success!!

Cheers,

Sweet Porsche (for Andy):

Hey, Ben, you are the king:king: , I just now saw this,...

Thanks, you'r the MAN!

[Benman]

Thanks guys, very excited to have the Beast. It's so thrilling to drive, it's really hard to describe. I can't see any car coming out in the near future that would upstage this for me. This will be the last "toy" I buy for quite some time. Read several years...

Leadfoot, my wife is closer to one in ten million (In fact, she's so cool, that after realizing the $$$ spent on this "toy" she said we could cancel the Q7 order and just get her a Civic to save $$$. Needless to say, she'll be getting the Q7. It makes me want to buy it for her all the more!)

Frederick, I may just have to get her something afterall.

Jeremy, yeah, I heard from Shaun that he used to work up your way and how Stasis "stole" him.

Ben, next time I'm up at a track where Galati is at, we'll see about that sig.

Ben,

Sorry to hear you will not be coming to the Infineon event but I totally understand the time constraints. Enjoy the car and don't be a stranger.

P.S. will you be coming up for the Laguna race in October?

Cheers,

Yep. My fam and I will see you there.

Hi Ben,

Congratulations on your purchase of this thoroughbred race car. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the map we generated @GIAC for the OEM Bosch street ECU and we enjoyed tuning with the World Challege Mahle Motorsports turbo hardware. Much of the performance mappings were derived from the Mahle Motorsports Pectel race ECU settings that were already proven on your hardware. Shaun@Stasis and I logged several hours of full throttle tuning and driving simulation on the dyno and we both agreed that the car is quite impressive! There is very early spoolup with exceptional top end. From a power perspective this setup should not do you wrong.

Here is a link to ~1meg video of some of the dyno testing @GIAC. It sounds great.
