A couple of things there. Looks like he's got a Strosek hatch replacement, yes? GTS lights too. Also the 997tt has a camera on top. Be great to see the videos.
Luis, do you know this guy?

I also love seeing our cars keeping the modern supercars honest.

Here is one of the pics we have of the car:



Yes D9 GTS and Strosek hatch.

I've got some pics from under the hood which I'll go and dig out showing John's kit which looks very nice

Hi, if the owner didn't drive it in the runs, I know the guy who did. He's a drving instructor with two 951 track cars of his own. And yes, it's a Strosek hatch like Future said.

I can just imagine Herr Alois ringing John after seeing this video ...

How about this video where a 3l 944 turbo driven by our own "Weston" leads my 700hp 997 turbo and a friend's 997 Gt2:

yeah, I enjoyed that video / day. Yearns for more. Can't wait 'till my 550whp 3.0 @2300lbs gets unleashed. (813whp 997 equivalent) Hope it lasts for more than a day. We'll have to race on video for these guys. - Drag strip style.

Future, are you Switzerland or in England?

But honestly, you guys gotta get better with responding. I have room in my suitcase and will be Switzerland in January (if passport/visa issues get resolved) and need to stop by Zurich and get some parts.

It's worth mentioning that this car is fitted with a 968 gearbox with stock 968 NA gearing.

Still wondering how early in the rev range it sees 15 psi...
