Default 3.8L x51 PDK Race Car wins PBOC Championship

What started life as a crashed PDK Cayman R with 7700 miles that no one wanted to touch, turned into one of the most well performing cars we have ever built. In his first year of club racing or any sort of driving, car owner Jim *** won almost every single race we contested. Jim dove head first into the deep end and ran the Winterfest 6 hour at Sebring as his 1st race ever and never looked back as we proceeded to run everything we could in the car from SCCA to NASA to PBOC. He was my first true student and all we did was guide him in the right direction. We didn't have 1 single mechanical issue across 6,000 miles of abuse. This car features every single modification we sell for our street customer cars so that we can truly say "we race what we sell!" Thanks to Guard Transmission, Revolution Mini, Road Sport Supply, Forgeline, Tarett Engineering, Pro Systems, HRP, Getty Designs, PWR Radiators, MSI Racing Products, Pirelli North America and everyone else who helped us along the way. I am quite proud of my first graduate of the BGB Tadpole Motorsports Program!
