I'll have to go to the warehouse and take some. I currently don't have a pic other than the article on my car in Motor Trend. I believe May 2000. It's on the front cover as a "Porsche Eating Luxo Coupe."

Yes, that is my car. It was bought and assembled by a guy who was a co founder of Netscape. I bought it from him with about 4,000 miles on the clock. He added alot to it after the article. Racing seats, titanium exhausts, full interior carbon fiber, blower etc.

I am guessing you added the blower after this article? They only stated 408 hp in the article.

I expected to get beaten pretty badly since my car is stock still. I was happy that it was even. Those things are BEASTS. I'd love to have one as a daily.

If basically getting beat by a 4 door sedan doesn't prod you to mod that thing nothing else will.
Let's go get with the program my brother!

I drove my CLS55 AMG and TT GT640 back to back a couple of times. There is absolutely no comparison, the TT is way faster. I don't remember clearly how fast my TT was when it was still stock but I believe it is still faster than the AMG. The CLS55 is a beauty but it just couldn't thrill me.
