PCA.org's driver interview for #25, a 1995 911 Super Cup in the GTC2 class from Florida:

I purchased the car in 2006 and rebuilt it from the ground up, and I’ve raced it since the PCA Club Racing 48 Hours of Sebring in 2008.

Similar to giving Nick photo credit:
Big kudos to eGarage.com's Frazer for emailing their latest Rennsport work!

Sure, everyone can find the yellow 993 RS,
but how about the black 993 coupe?

The numbers are in, & it's official:
531 enthusiasts were not smiling, as reported by sportscar365.com:
An event record crowd of 57,531 Porsche enthusiasts were on hand at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to witness an unprecedented display of motor racing history and heritage.

Porsche Rennsport Reunion V is the largest gathering of Porsche race cars and drivers in the world.

“There is a spirituality about Porsche that is unparalleled in any other marque. But looking at 57,000 people’s smiles this weekend, you go away from this saying, ‘Let’s do it again in four years.’”
Here's one. Find the other 530

I totally meant to introduce myself and say "Hey!" at the MOMO party at Magnus's place the night before the Rally... I got caught up with everyone and everything. We ended up following the rally in the rental car(s) and had a blast for the entire weekend. Amazing Car Overload! Maybe I'll drive out next one

Glad you had a blast. Would have been too cool to meet you
My loss, Rich. See you down the road!

Based on a 993, Kelly Moss Motorsports' RSR 001 is the car of Porsche dreams.

Update:
IIRC, PCA HQ only produced two Rennsport Reunion videos. One (referenced above) was of Joey Chang. EBay seller 'jwchang911' soon after listed 'Jennabelle' for sale, "1995 Porsche RWB 993 911 Carrera 2;" Dec '15 - Jan '16.

From dpcCars.com's "Wide Body 1995 Porsche 993 by RWB selling for $175,000:"
Originally Posted by DPC Cars

We have stumbled upon a rather intriguing Porsche 911 of the Porsche 993 generation featuring a plethora of aftermarket parts, including a RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF 993 super wide street version body kit. This utterly fat Porsche 911 also has a massive Kamiwaza double deck wing, bolt-on fender flares, and big bumpers to complete the beefy look. It rides on the tuner’s 18-inch three-piece wheels shod in 265/35/18 front and 335/30/18 rear Pirelli P Zero tires.

This rear-wheel drive Guarra Red example has been driven for 131,000 miles (210,824 km) and also has a lot of mechanical changes. Some of the most important ones include Fabspeed Porsche 993 sport headers, BMC air filter, H&R front and rear sway bars, GT2 strut brace, and a Fabspeed 993 Supercup exhaust system. Stopping power comes from a Brembo GT kit with type III rotor (355-mm front & 345-mm rear) teamed up with four-piston front and rear calipers.

It’s the same story inside the cabin where the modified Porsche 993 has full Alcantara upholstery, Momo steering wheel hub with Sabelt steering wheel, along with a RS rear seats delete and Rennline full adjustable pedals.

It may be in “showcar condition” and with a ton of aftermarket goodies, but we’re not sure why anyone would buy this over a brand new Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991) that costs $175,900 MSRP in United States.
