Outstanding Bob! Really great! This is a mod I am definitely going to do down the line. The yellow looks great on a black 993, though I don't think it adds any more HP, but a black 993 is still the fastest of the 993 family (as opposed to the slower Guard's or Arena Red models for example) due to thermal retention and the immediate moisture evaporation the noir finish provides.

Slapshot,

There are some gross inaccuracies that must not go uncorrected... black cars are well known to be dust magnets, thus heavier and less aerodynmic than their Guards or Arena Red brethern. Sorry.

They also absorb MUCH more heat which expands the body, loosens the rigidity and also makes the engine run hotter....

OK, this thread has taken an ugly turn. I won't stand for baseless accusations like that, my black car is dust-free and furthermore, arena red cars like yours don't show the dust as much - so they are typically cleaned less often, and therefore carry a thicker layer of dust than any black 993...

it's intuitively obvious that the black cars are lighter (like hot air balloons), so our power to weight ratio is much better. that's we always pass you lighter colored cars on the track.......
