We had a good laugh. I'm excited to see it and drive it. I wish I had found Vince earlier and not the other knuckle head.
Yes, it was me. He knows I have a fondness for Porsches - he takes good care of my babies. I sold my RS a few months ago, so he excited to get another one. I am down in Joplin. Let me know if you ever want to come down this way and hit the NW Arkansas mountains. In fact, ask Vince about the group he was going to get together this fall. Lots of fun!!

Enjoy your RS, it's a beauty!!!

Thanks for all the kind words Ryan, glad to see things are coming together to finally enjoy that beast!

Here are some dyno graphs of tuning. One is on a stock RS, the other is on an RS already equipped with our Long Tube Competition Race Header System (Green vs Red). The gains are quite noticeable, especially in the top end as you crest 6k. The powercurve becomes more responsive and pulls harder and smoother.

Got it back, will put up some picks and sound clips.... Few things

1. Vince at Blackhorse Motorwerks is a stud. Incredible job, would recommend them to anyone in the midwest... http://blackhorsemotorwerks.com/

2. BBI Rollbar....bada$$ I love the fit and finish and the look is great. These cars look so good in my opinion with a cage in them...

3. Fabspeed......sound....amazing. Valves open it's a monster and it sounds like the car should. Will get some sound clips but it is fantastic. Speed....it's faster.... pulls harder in the butt test above 5500-6K no doubt....I had a couple of pulls in it on long windy Kansas roads and I thought it was well worth the $$ for the headers/exhuast/tune. Very happy with the outcome.

Minus the GO-LOUD parts, how much was the cost to bring the car back to life?

Glad you're finally enjoying your RS, as you should've been with your first. Hopefully now it will only be a distant memory.

Thrilled to hear our upgrades met your expectations my friend! Put them to good use at that local track you were telling me about
