Excellence mag on my 993 build

Finally made it into Excellence mag after years of waiting and trying to coordinate with one of their contributing photographers/writers.

Hits newsstands on 3/22 but here is the online version for now.

Thanks to Jason, Brad and the rest of the former Autologic crew.

Awesome.

I love the naked rear view of the car. That's how I'd drive down the street.

Nice! Wow, years and years, huh? How long was it between the photoshoot/Interview and the publication? I guess I should take heed and be more patient .....

Outrageous,

Princeton,

why don't you bring your car to MMC this spring & let it rip on the long course.

Amazing build!!!

Why is the HP so low? I would expect 800+ HP out of all that hardware. Stock internals maybe? What kind of boost pressure are you running. If you stay low boost GT28RS turbos would work a so much better that the GT30's.
