tstafford,
Video of my 993 "R" and it has some thoughts by Janko about the 993 that may be of interest to you.

And I appreciate the compliments guys. Even experienced mechanics who work on these cars and dealers who earn a living buying and selling them couldn’t tell it apart from the real deal.
I can't believe you are thinking of selling your car ilko! Your build thread is what motivated me to do an RS replica. I love driving my replica and yours is much nicer!

Thanks so much!

A Dr. Jekyll & Mr Hyde 993 that fits just as well on the race track as on longer trips and enjoyable rides an early morning.
A lot of thought and help from reading on Rennlist!
Something not mentioned by Janko in the video is that I also switched to a GT3 crankshaft and custom built Pauter connecting rods. This engine should be able to rev 8000 rpm but I set a max rev at 7300. Without ITB and intake (like Singer) it does not give much to rev anymore and I prioritized driveability and durability.

993 "R" is a wonderful driving experience!
