Can you give us an update on how the car is doing?

Any issues or has it been been trouble free for you?

Bump. I would like to know a turn key option for a shop with experience as I would consider getting an RS and having this done.

Thanks for the mention!

The owner took delivery of a .2 RS and then sold it 30 days later because he said it didn't excite him as much. He is not as active on the forums as of late; I will see if I can get him to chime in.

Thanks.

I drove the car when I visited Road America a couple years ago.
No lights on dash, everything worked and drove just like my PDK.
It all felt and drive like it came that way from
Zuffenhausen.

Probably the most impressive part of this build. He beat Porsche at their own game. In fact, this car might be the final straw that brought manual transmissions back to the GT3.

No , not this car, but the 911R and its demand, it also brought the touring option.

"The final straw." Not the whole reason, not even most of it, but I don't doubt that AP read this thread.
