$40k is good money for that kinda mileage. What is different about a 993 Cup's airbox? Is it just drilled like the motorsound version?

Nah, but they owe the buyer $29k. I'll take it off their hands for $15k, it's the Christmas spirit!

Tim

Your car is an outstanding deal for someone looking to get into more serious track time while being able to drive the car to the events. What sort of lap times where you seeing compared to your new RS?

Thanks. Jean
