I just spoke to Roman at ESS and he gave me all the answers I was hoping to hear.
I pulled the trigger and ordered it.
I told my buddy to forget the Alpina. I want to try his Porsche MO700
I know he is faster then me, but he has a racing clutch and he has a very hard time leaving the line with the lightweight flywheel/racing clutch setup.
By then I will be long gone!(I hope!
