Awesome, congratulations and thanks for sharing !!!

Those brakes are huge, on the pictures it looks like they are made of 4 quarter sections, is that
true? Never seen brake disks like that before.

Nice beast!

beautiful.
thanks for posting details, work and video.

Awesome awesome awesome... Sweet project. Looks like a total blast.

Kelly moss racing plus 1. amazing. Great video and driving.
So motivating

Thanks everyone.

jdistefa the rear shock remote cans will now be mounted below the right rear quarter window. There will be a couple of small access holes in the window to allow for adjustment during pit stops.

Renaud the rotors are produced in sections and then "bolted" together. This is new technology still in the prototype stage. I can tell you they are amazing. You can see in the video that I was braking really late at Road America and able to out brake everyone fairly easily.

The rear bumper mock up is all but complete. This combines the profile of the original bumper with the functionality (air vents) of a 997 Cup bumper. It will now be used to make a mold and then a carbon bumper will be produced by Crawford.

I would be willing to use my car as a test mule for those brakes on the street:D

Thanks for posting the video!! I enjoyed every second of it!!:thumbup:

With regards to that bumper, would they be willing to make one for me as well? I had a little mishap with my bumper and I need a new bumper and I also need to do something the relieve the heat. That bumper looks business!!

Very cool!

I'd also be interested in one too. The center cut outs will work nicely with the 997 gt3 Gamroth muffler setup.

First off, wow, that is one hell of a gorgeous car and i love the mods you are making.. great choices!

how are running costs of this car compared to the 996 Cup?

Badass. So much cooler than another cup.

Nice driven' dude. I love the old air-cooled cars giving the cups a run for the money In equally prepared cars you would have clearly dominated. Awesome.

My pants are fitting a bit tighter now.

Juha and Paddy, I'll check with Jeff at Kelly Moss about producing the bumper for you. The bodywork on my car is a one off and very wide. My new rear bumper might work on a wide body car (using RSR/GT2 flares) or could be altered to work on a narrow body car. It is being made by Crawford using high quality carbon and won't be cheap...

mobonic I would guesstimate the running costs to be the same as a 996 Cup. After 4+ years with a 996 Cup I know what the real costs of running the car are. I have only raced KMR-RSR 001 at 2 events and so don't have a complete picture of running costs yet. Michelin's are being used on both cars and typically I would go thru 3 sets in a weekend. The new engine (being built by Rothsport Racing) will be good for 50-80 hours before needing a freshen up and a 996 Cup gearbox is going to be used. The carbon brakes are awesome, reducing rotating mass and providing unrivaled stopping power, and expected to have a long life before the rotors need to be replaced. So net net I think it will be a wash and running costs will be about the same. But this was only part of my decision making process. I also wanted something cool that could be tinkered with and developed along the way. And did I mention how much fun it is to drive? Way more than the 996 Cup which was a great first race car but lacked character. GT3R is a great class and there are a lot of really good cars/drivers out there with more cars being built. The air cooled short wheel base car is so much fun to drive. Our goal when the car is finished is to be competitive with the fastest 997 Cups.
