Just take a five week vacation. The first days you drive to southern California. Drop the car off along with a check for $7500. Come back four weeks later and pick up you car. Lastly, drive back home. That is all which is needed.

which should be covered cause it has nothing to do with the motor or turbo.

Actually the E55 traps higher than the Modena and just about the same as the 911TT. I have heard of E55's running 11.9's stock but then again... who knows! They probably run around 12.2 to 12.5
on average. If I get a better launch.... and with 2psi more boost, 11's is possible.
