STG, your too funny with these, with the interest on this car over the past 48hrs I'm sure the biggies at porsche are seeing this which I'm sure has people rolling in their offices in Germany.

Thank you very much neanicu, you were one of the first to comment on the build and followed the whole way, much appreciated.

Thank you Frank, can't wait to get it back into my hands so I can install all those beautiful trim pieces and seat protectors you and your company Supplied for the build. Very Grateful you decided to sponsor the car and believe in me that the interest surrounding this would be great. You've been a pleasure to deal with and operate a fine world class operation. top rate quality.

I can't speak for John but i think you'd be right in assuming so CAlexio. There really isn't anything like this in the market at all today. Minus the R which is very subdued in the styling dept there really isn't anything super fast, flashy looking and with all the aero Plus a Manual you can buy. (newer cars that is)

Congrats to both of you on such a fantastic project. Bravo to your enthusiasm, patience and bravery! You've highlighted the best part of 911's from the start...their modularity.

I can't wait to see some in car video of this car being driven in anger!

Car story of the week! Lots of coverage. If a real video review happens by one of the big guys, will be a real treat. How can they resist?? Harris or Bovingdon should be fighting for this honor.

Maybe Andreas Preuninger should drive it too He can have first honors.

Got the Porsche e-brake email blast and it was addressed with a link in there.

I just read the whole thread for the first time. What an awesome project. If I wore a hat it'd be off to the owner and to the amazing techs at BGB, too.

My fantasy car would be a cross-breed of the GT2RS and the Turbo S. And I'm only one well chosen lottery ticket away from getting it!

Whicih means....I'd be thrilled right now just to own ANY 911, which I don't.

Maybe our friends here can do a limited BGB Manual RS T-SHIRT

They've got some cool t-shirts and stickers

Now this is NOT a real t-shirt here. Just a spoof for entertainment based off one of their designs

Veery nice. I have bought the "grid" and also their "PSM OFF- symbol" one. Creates smiles among those in the know. Also wanted to say thanks to RJ both for doing this and also starting the thread. It warms my heart. Fantastic job by BGB of course. (a little OT but if you guys would pour the secret squirrel sauce into a map that takes away the annoying exhaust farts/crackles/pops on a 981GTS, I'd be very interested...)
