The motor came out of a 2012 997.2 cup car which has the same output as a .2 RS. Looks like the motor was rebuilt within the last six months which is a big deal as these cup car motors require rebuilds at about 50 hours at a cost of ~$30k.

50 hrs is not a lot of time.
would think repair of 4+ liter would have been prudent
Edit. and no AC. Gets hot on track.
