Great news and perfect build. Thanks again for paving the way into the future. When my time comes, this will be the way I am headed. BTW, the ultra-light straight pipes photo almost dropped me out of my chair! YES!

I can honestly say I am a changed man (Porschephile) after riding in this car this week with Sharkey. This project; sound, looks, seat of the pants feel, responsiveness of the rev happy motor, and price is an OUT OF THE PARK HOMERUN !!
This is the best Porsche that I have ever been in (I have owned 8 911's myself),
and I am no stranger to power/handling/etc.
Alex, you, James and Todd really have a winner here and I am hopeful to someday do this!
After having 6 different exhuast systems on my 996Turbo, I can tell you this is the
BEST sounding Porsche motor ever...This exhuast system that Sharkey sells for the street (with Cats), screams at 7000+ and cruises with no Rezz on the highway.
Nice Job!
After driving Kermit with the new 3.9 kit I have deceided to pass on the gen 2 GT3 and go for the 500HP+!! If I had one word to discribe this mod it would be "perfect"!
Thanks so much Snowboarder... this GT3 passion we have has a lot to do with you. Remember when you brought your car a few years back? I'm so stoked and can't wait to get your car in for the build.

What a beast...after driving this animal, made my Stock RS feel_a_bit_LETHARGIC!
It's amazing what you're able to squeeze out of this motor, WITHOUT compromising the daily driveability.
Hehe thanks JWGT2. Means a lot and you can come drive it anytime:P And the other one too (also lethargic!).

Thanks Sammy... it really turned out so well. We spent a long, long time speccing/planning things with EVOMS and the icing on the cake was having the emulator for the live on-site tuning. We got literally weeks worth of work done in days because of that and she purrs!

Thank you Joe... We're all so thrilled/proud with how it turned out. It's going to get even crazzier sound-wise I've got the videos in the Editing station so hang tight for that.
PS The icing on the cake was feeling the force in yours while we were waiting:P

If I have my way, we will be stroking it soon. 4.2L is totally possible. We already have the crank made
Hey, careful now... I have you on video replying to one of my questions with, "Now Alex, let's not get greedy here and call it a day" Seriously though everyone that's driven it can't believe how well she just drives "normally" let alone when you go up to 8800. The tuning process is on another level so big pat on the back for ya.

Its not as if I would have drifted it around the parking lot - Oh I would have - maybe that is why.
Damn everything I just said above... Well you drove it a bit on the dyno didn't you? You can drift in your dreams on the dyno next week then with the "other" car....

Thanks Harold. Keep pushing the car/engine a few miles but if you're ever here we'll go for a ride

Seriously Marty that's so nice coming from you and really means something. I'm so thrilled myself with the way it turned out that I couldn't be happier and I'm off the sauce (otherwise known as Turbos) for good now:P
We just need to get you into a 3 now eh?

Thanks Marty... James had that thing on our car on day 1 lol and as soon as I heard it I figured we might be able to make one or two more

No the stroker isn't what I'd call right behind:P We're going to enjoy it this way for some time to come

I also believe it can be done to 996 GT3 ??
Alex ?
That's exactly right Marty. There will need to be some fine-tuning and exhaust work done to a 6 GT3 but I can't imagine the difference with one of those. With the 7GT3 and a dual mass it's going to be so night and day
