i just reread the article in Excellence.

Besides the half cage versus full cage, why does this car weigh so much less than a factory 964 cup?

Great car especially with the no compromise approach!

This might be a typo...

The NA Cup Cars weighed in at 2,500 lbs ( http://carreracupusa.org/Documents/Tech%20Specs.pdf ), and mine weighs in at 2,535 lbs with fluids...

Hey A, you've been MIA. Happy new year.

Aircooled breakfast drive on Sun 22 Jan. Maybe we can do round the island.

Keep an eye out on porschesgforum.
