SAS pictures

Wow, that car is REALLY SWEET ! ! ! The shot from beneath the dash is especially interesting. As complicated, yet just as slick as any Ford or GM factory instal. Very clean and tight!

Congratulations, it must be amazing to drive ! ! !

I wish I knew how to do video with sound. At idle the car exhaust has soft sound of a late model Porsche, only sound from the engine bay is the cooling fan whir. When stepped on hard the engine begins to wail like a Formula I. It blows all the Hondas with fart cans away.

Nolan,
Invest in a new digital video camera that just does dvd's. This Christmas is so bad for retailers, you should be able to get one real cheap starting this Friday. Maybe you can rig it up as a helmet cam. Now THAT would be worth watching!

Nolan,
Congrats on your new car. Finally, eh?
I'm curious, the rear end looks like it sits a little high.
Is that because of the wheel/tire combination or perhaps the drivetrain?
Glad you're finally on the road. Now you can update your "shades" photo. ;)

"Now you can update your "shades" photo. ;)"
Yes. Please.

Yes Terry, the rear end is a little higher than I would like it. Steve told me it will settle a bit as the coil overs soften, there's also an adjustment to lower it but it will make a harsher ride. So Felix, you don't like my shades picture, well it seems Vince and I are identical twin separated at birth so I wear the shades to tell us apart.

Hey Nolan,
Haven't heard from you for a while.
How's your car running?

Car is running great! Smooth and quiet with a nice Porsche like purr at idle and then a formula like scream as you step on it. Never felt so much kick in an automatic before. Been holed up in the house for last couple days as an Arctic front has hit us, 38 degrees this morning with a slight chance of getting up to the low sixties. Yea I know she has a good heater, but I've got no place to go right now. Here's a couple pics I took when it was warmer. The two cabriolets under construction at SAS are coming along as weather permits, Lawling is still re-engineering as he builds, he redesigned the rear suspension for the wide bodies as well as a separate mold for flared models.

VERY NICE! Glad to finally see that bad-boy in your driveway!

Wow, looks awesome. Congrats.

Nice high-angle shot , Nolan. And that rear end shot is great. Like they say in Hawaii, "Sweet Okole( butt )!"

Nolan, That is a perfect looking car -- everything is spot-on, far as I can tell. Wheels are a real touch of class. It's a beauty.

Thanks for all the accolades, I'm planning on driving it up to Carlisle this year, hope to meet some of you face to face. It was a long wait but well worth it. Mechanically, it's perfect, however, the paint job could have been a bit better, I'd give a B+ grade or maybe an A- but it shines up good. Top seals out rain and wind perfectly and has the power to go faster than you ought to do. Very quiet at idle with only the soft purring from the exhaust pipes and the whir of the radiator fan. Lawling seems to finally gotten his art down to a science and is building 2 simultaneously so soon a cream and a red Cabriolet will be joining the group.

Nolan,
I'm glad it all worked out for you.
As they say: "Good things come to those who wait."

Nolan, glad you are enjoying your ride! That car is really the only option for South Florida. With the a real A/C and sealing top, you can enjoy some Florida days that change from nice to real rainy fast, and you can still have a good time. Enjoy! Great looking ride!

Hi Nolan,

This is Rob Young (an earlier SAS customer - delivery 2006). Just wanted to say congrats you on your car! looks great! Glad to hear its holding up well. I hope it was worth the wait. It's probably been a year since I've been to this site/forum. Looking forward to seeing you and your 356 at Carlisle 2009 (in addition to the many others I met at Carlisle two years back). Enjoy the ride. Rob
