Trust me I get how you are feeling about cost. I once modified a 996 turbo cab and a cayenne tubo at the same time to the tune of 1200HP combined. i'm sure that an ivy league education went into those 2 cars. I drove a caymen for 150 miles for a friend and thought about half of the things that you have done to this car. I'm inspired. do you have any idea what the 0-60 and quarter mile times are? your car is closing in on that Ruf that costs 500K.

Congrads on a great build, anymore magazine articles to expect? I was upset when the write up on your car was finished in European Car Mag. The devil is in the detail, and this car is sinful!

Michael Levitas at TPC is working on setting up another MUCH more in depth article with Excellence and some others in the near future.

Its possible but with this car being one of a kind I doubt I'll track it much. I WILL however be setting up some get togethers with the Cayman Club (Now Porsche Planet, Cayman section) once I get the car back to Houston. I'll post info here too as they develop.

Tuner Galleria pics, Houston 2009
Since it was right here in my backyard I entered my car in the Houston 2009'Tuner Galleria' which is a subsection inside the Autorama car show. To say it was well received would be an understatement since it pretty much cleaned house! Heh! 4 awards: Best custom bodywork, Best custom paint, Best in category (European Luxury), and Best overall in show. Best overall in show also gets a magazine article/cover with 'Performance Auto and Sound' which will be shot in the near future. Mike and Casy at TPC are still working on setting up the Porsche Excellence photo shoot/track article too.
Here are a few great shots that a young photog named Max Chiu was nice enough to send me.

Heh! Glad you like it! I'm a big fan of car porn myself.
