I will reiterate, Champion Motorsport knocked it out of the ball park with this build. Also importantly, JB Racing was outstanding in meticulous attention to details, machining and fabrication.
This engine has behaved and feels bullet-proof.
Now I need to step up my game to extract all this build can deliver.
Thank you Champion Motorsport.

Ranger, would you mind sharing where you purchased the decals (PORSCHE in orange) for the windscreen and rear wing from?

Can't argue with you there

Thanks for posting the vid.

BTW, first video I've seen of Oak Tree-less VIR.

I will tell you that I've never experienced such a precise shifter ever.
IMHO all others are childs play in comparison.
The guys at Champion were truly impressed with the craftsmanship and design. Two shifters were sold to other customers at Champion the day they saw mine and just went through the gates without driving the car.

Are you kidding me
Not a chance it would be the GMG car. Though I would love to run into it some time since it's such a great car done by the best.
That's a local friend who did the GT3R Cup body work.

Regarding my sons, the answer is sadly no. I would elaborate but don't want to get political here.

Your video made my day. Sweet music. Nicely done.
