I love all the press that Jeff Zwart's GT3 received for running Pike's Peak. Yes 911s can do it all...more rally racing please Porsche!

Just saw this over at Excellence-mag.com:

if they're climbing a mountain, I'd sure want the SUV ride height

that smile looks to have seen more punches than Rocky Balboa.

I wouldn't mind having the 4 extra headlights for night driving. Might look a little weird coming down the highway though.

Love the video! I have Randy Owen's artwork of the 964 rally car on my wall. Its one of my favorites.

would have loved to have Jeff's 993 pikes peak car..... i believe it is a track rat now that looks far from what it once was.

I was very fortunate a couple weeks ago to have met Mr. Zwart when he was in town for a Porsche event. You should have seen the smile on his face when I asked him about his 964 rally machine. He just loves this car and started to talk about the build in great detail.

It's been a couple weeks since, and I'd hate to misrepresent what's been done to the car... so thanks to Petrolicious for providing these details:

1990 Carrera 4
Engine specs: 3.8 RSR motor, 300 HP, original fuel injection
Modifications: Lightweight exhaust and a pressurized bell housing to keep the dust out of the clutch
Drivetrain - AWD system details: Paris Dakar drivetrain from the 953 program. Manual torque split adjustment changing the torque from front to rear and side to side. Paris Dakar Transmission with a 125mph top speed in five gears.
Suspension: Special Koni shocks on the front and rear has custom suspension with shock absorber reservoirs.
Wheels: 16 x 7 with Michelin Rally tires for gravel
Top speed: 125 MPH
Number of victories: 7 overall victories in the US Pro Rally Championship in 1993-1994 and an open class championship at the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb
Ownership: Jeff Zwart is the original owner and has owned the car for its 23 years.

Additional details from Jeff Zwart: The car has a full Kevlar underbody for rock and stone protection. Rally communications and CB radio for service. Most of the rallies were at night so it has PIAA lighting with two spots and 2 floods combining with the factory lighting. This was the first Porsche I drove and won with at the Pikes Peak Hillclimb.

When I raced it at Pikes Peak, Porsche Motorsport provided a single turbo IMSA motor with 550hp for that one event.

love that shot ^^ in the dirt - car so alive and the cup 1's looks great

and the re-inforcement detail around the rear exhaust (video) - flame resistant!
but odd he seems to be running a noise reducer - maybe better for shopping trips

Gotta love it when Porsche ships you a box with a special turbo engine for a race ... just to try it out

Loved this video, really great
