Doesn't look like a particularly well attended C&C.

Nice. May I know what size (18” dia x ?, offsets?) BBS wheels are those? I’m looking to buy a set.

BBS E88, 18x10 & 18x12. Offsets are for RSR body work.

Very cool build. I would be hesitant to drive with a full cage and advanced race seats on the street - but in Jersey, maybe.

Interested to know more about the wing above the GT2 deck lid. I can’t see a thing out of standard GT2 decklid and that wing looks like it increase visibility and down-force.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Its a Crawford "banana" wing extension. Visibility out the rear is great.

Very cool. Did it start life as a 993? Do you plan to track it at all?

Maybe ill track it one day if i get really good at driving it.
It is pretty intimidating to drive.

Its a 1969 911 chassis/tub converted to a tube frame RSR spec 911 by the Racers Group & Wright Motorsports.

Very cool.

I learned to drive 911s on track by jumping straight in with 993 race cars and minimal prior experience. With a good instructor and the right mindset, there's no better way to enjoy that incredible machine you've got.

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to join us at NJMP.

Nice @RDS928S . Any race history?

Agree with @tjb616 . Take it to the track.

I also happen to have a period-raced 993 3.8 RSR build (Jerry Woods/Windward chassis build, Rothsport/Dick Elverud engine, etc). I did cut my racing teeth in the 90s with early 911s and G-bodies in POC, before moving on to karts and open-wheel Formula Fords/Mazdas. IMHO, the essence of the 911 really comes out when pushed closer to its limits at the track.
