Very cool, Robert. Who makes those throttle bodies or did you guys create them?

Thank you. Ever since I bought my first Porsche in 1989, this is something I have wanted to do and I am so very pleased to be doing this. For me, this is truly a labor of love.

Latest engine news is that a couple of cylinders were running a bit hot so we added some additional cooling which solved that problem but, as a result, the 2-valve, air cooled, normally aspirated engine is down to 451 HP on street gas and with a catalytic converter.

This is spectacular news!
You've already almost re-created the "modern version of a classic" with your America GS project. All you needed was an engine that was up to the level of the rest of the car.
I've long imagined how amazing a Singer by Cartridge Limited would be...
Someone please commission this car!!

But I don't like how our Dealer Friend's on Wilshire got the Pagani sales account out of all the dealerships in LA and OC counties! They do pay for your trip to Italy after your car arrives and the sale has been finalized.

Everyone has different taste. Personally, I have no interest in a Pagani for a number of reasons, not the least of which is how it calls attention to those in it. As to the Magnus Walker version of a Porsche, I never liked grunge and still do not. Singer is a good tuner car but, ultimately, that is what it is. Perhaps I am "old school," but I like Porsches and continue to hope that Porsche might find a way to issue a small number of modernized 964's or 993's.
