Hmm, if it wasn't the slant project, I remember them building a nice green IROC-look 911--could have been that one.

The car is truly beautiful, but they seem to gloss over the amount of money put into this car. (Probably because they got most of the stuff free for mentioning it in their magazine!?!) I'm guessing they do that for all their project cars?
Cheers...

The 911S project is the only reason I have read EC these past few months. Other than that it's got some small feature texts and some pretty pictures. There's no substance anymore.
