For what ever reason they didn't write about any updates to the project in the last issue. It was frustrating because I was looking forward to seeing what new stuff they had done to the car.

Yea. Not sure if in the actual magazine there is more info. Have to hit the news stand and see.

Really want to see what kind of results they get with the water injection.

With 300rwp getting laughter, I guess they will realize the potential of these cars.

No, that's what I mean. I have a subscription to that magazine and in the last issue they didn't have any updates. They have been doing this project for about 3 months now and each issue has had new updates.

The Aquamist upgrade is intriguing.

I saw this car at Precision Motion in Riverside. It has a lot of whistles and bells to be sure. From what I understand, most all the mods (parts and labor) are donated for the magazine exposure.

I want to be Pablo when I grow up.

The 951 Project has been done for some time. Vitesse was involved in the last chapter:Part 13

I read about that car back when I was buying my car, that's how I learned about most of the companies I've used actually

That is correct. Most of the parts for our 997TT project were donated by the companies for exposure, or sold to us at a greatly reduced rate (thanks to Pablo, he has a ton of connections). After talking with Pablo about the car (he is also local to KC, so he was a common fixture at the shop, lol), I am sure he took up a lot of John's time getting the car running correctly, so support guys like Vitesse so they can recoup that time and money!
