The 1:24 was done a few years back now. That was with a modified stock 968 motor too. Last year the car did a 1.21:48....and this is on street legal non slick tyres! To put this into perspective, a 911 Cup car will do this track in about 1:31....think about that for a minute!

It started out as a Porsche 968. VERY little left of the original donor car though.
