Sorry, I know everyone is anxious about pics. I will post them tonight after the 6speed/Akkurat Porsche meet that takes place today. Pics have already been taken but I have been instructed by EVO to hold off until after the unveiling today at the meet. Here is a teaser...

This was the very first 997S to be fitted with a S/C and took 3 months of R&D to perfect it. Armed with 500 hp this car now goes even with a stage 2 996 Turbo and runs absolutely perfect! The guys at EVO are simply the best!! Mucho Thanks Mike & Todd!! Here are the pics everyone has been waiting for..

Ko Kaine,
You have to do this to your car. You don't know what you are missing. You will freak out!! I raced a stage 2 Turbo today at the meet and it was like I was attached to him by the tow hook and I had a full tank of gas and my 200 lb brother in the car.

First of all, a big applause to Mike and Todd at EVO for hooking me up with the very first supercharged 997S and a big thanks to Alex at Akkurat for making this happen. After all he planted the seed in my head and I couldn't resist. Although my car spent 3 months at EVO, it was well worth the wait. The car has been transformed into a missle. It is putting out 500 hp to the crank and you can feel every bit of it. Start the car and you hear the beautiful tone of the fabspeed mufflers and the slight whine of the S/C which reminds you of the animal that is stuffed under the hood. Step on the gas and that whine turns to a whistle and before you know it you're hitting 100mph! This thing accelerates so fast and furious that you literally have 2 seconds between shifts! The car pulls extremely hard from 3500 rpm's all the way up to redline. The acceleration is smooth as silk and likewise during slow driving and stop & go traffic. More details to come on Saturday at the 6speed/Akkurat meet. C you there...

) today. Sounded great but went like a frigging monkey on redbull-dipped bananas... Seriously man it's always been a pleasure talking to you and I'm glad you had Mike/Todd takin' care of the car to do the very first one. The wait is longer than usual because of all the development work done but being no.1 is cool for other reasons.I'm just glad it's in the Bay Are so we can all get to enjoy it at those meets/drives from now on
