I've seen the name mentioned before. There are a few members that have work done by them, but thats about as much as I know.

 

( 623HP/634TQ at the wheels (see dyno sheet) on 100 octane gas at 1.4 bar of boost )

Not to Bad. But I have not heard of them before. Nice looking car though.
And sounds fast.

 

There was a new member here that has a few cars by that tuner. I can't remember his name but search the tuner and it should pop up - just within the last month, I think.

 

I have been watching that car myself on Ebay.

 

spoke with Switzer personally. car had ORIGINAL clutch at 60+K miles. who among us can attest to THAT? car was driven by a VERY mature guy and Switzer checked it thoroughly. has zero issues. would not normally put a high HP kit on a car with miles, but in this case would not hesitate. truly, these cars are super-durable and when babied, and left STOCK, they have the ability to last forever. for the same money, it's noteworthy that you could puck up a cheaper 996TT with 15K miles on it, cam, turbo and GT800 kit the car after doing say, ARP studs and bolts... and maybe have 15K more into the build than the full offer price here, with perhaps many fewer miles overall on the car. in this case, it's just an insta-rocket vs something you'd have to assemble yourself and wait 3 mos to get back from your tuner.

 

The seller is a 6speed member, just posted about the car not to long ago.

 

Yup he is. I pm'd him. Let's see if he chimes in.

 

Surprisingly, I can...I went 68,000 miles on the original clutch - 5K stock, 51K stage 2, 12K stage 4 with over 20 1/4 mile passes at stage 4 and it still barely slipped in 4th at WOT - so the stock clutches are pretty durable. I drove very spirited for the entire 68,000 miles.
