Two of course.








We recently began developing our line of Parts for the Porsche 996/997 Twin Turbo platforms. Having owned our Yellow 996TT for over 3 years , we decided to purchase a car that was a bit rougher to push the envelope and build an all around monster turbo. This car will allow us to test the parts we currently have in development much quicker while still allowing us to keep the yellow car in tact.

The first step was locating the right car, we searched across the country for the past 1-2 months searching for a good base car and eventually found one in Charlotte,NC for a fair price. We where heading to Rockingham last weekend for an ADRL race making the transaction even easier. The car is a 01 996TT with 64,000 miles on the clock. We wanted to start with a higher mileage car as we will be tearing it down to the tub eventually, and a car with a bit more mileage will truly test our kits and the limits.

We plan on building the car in multiple stages, the first to develop our street parts on the car, and then eventually the car into a street/race car similar to our Supra. The street portion of the build will happen over the next few months and we will be updating the blog every step along the way with pictures and new product releases. In Florida we normally test and race our street cars in the winter as the weather is perfect and our pro cars in their off season. This new acquisition will make this winter one of the most fun yet. Hopefully we can have it ready for the mile in March in a quest for 200+.

This is going to be a fun project. The first test drive was definetely fun and the car gets up and goes. Definetely doesn't look or handle like the yellow car, but its going to be fun getting it to that level and beyond.
