I am trying to collect as much info and data as possible on my car, specifically I am super interested in the mods Kadach did to my car as well as these videos linked on this page. http://www.968turbo.de/cupcarsforsal...rsforsale.html

Konstantin is no longer at that email address. Anyone know how to get information about this?

Thx!

Konstatntin died back in 2013 because of cancer. It was such a sad story...

I'd try to find others who were involved with the team back in the days.

kgorman

That's so sad to hear.

Thanks for the info.

I have a team driving suit for that year. It's kadach Oliver Mattei. Tim Henke (the original owner of your car couldnt fit into Alessandro's...😀

They used to run the car on the dyno for extended period to loosen up the engine and rear diff....

Farnbacher was rumored to hydraulically press their cars in a bit at the shock top mounting locations to alter the setup extremes a bit...

Let me know if you want the suit and we can work something out.

kgorman

Thx For the info Glen!

stujelly

wow that is really cool!

Glen

Ill be at shop later today and can send pics of suit and drop in mail.
Call or text me so I can send them to you.

Glen

Here it is, the suit that matches your car.
Let me know where to send it!

kgorman

So awesome! Thx @glenn!

Glen

Need your mailing address ...

Wife is sending the suit out to have it packed/preserved like her wedding dress.

Glenn you are a rock star man.

I also have one of the 2001 Kadach Supercup cars. It is the blue/black car of the two that ran the Brilliant Vodka livery. The other car (red/black) is in the photo link you have of the cars for sale although the "Brilliant vodka" logo is off the car when the photos were taken. Jim Sullivan bought the red/black car from Kadach and Joel Reiser purchased another 2001 (not certain which one). Both were purchased through Konstantin whom I met at Joel's house one day.

I purchased mine from Dave Webber who purchased the car directly from Kadach after the 2001 season. I am only the third owner including the Kadach team.

Photos of all of these cars can be found in the 2001 Porschesport book.

I am a little skeptical of Konstantin's HP claims. Porsche stays very much on top of the Supercup teams and it may even be that the engines were sealed although I do not know if that was so.

Good luck with your Cup.

Awesome! Thx for the info Ted. Nice looking cup you have there.

Yeah the Porsche Sport book is still for sale, I bought a few copies.

Nice Kenny,

Enjoy , great car and was very important to Alessandro as he used the platform to reenter racing after his horrific wreck at indy in 96 and the years of rehab following.

I have learned that 2001 SuperCup cars ran with sealed engines and transmissions. Not surprising considering that the Factory was at each race providing support and monitoring failures and performance. Konstantin's comments about superior Kadach horsepower are probably puffery however, their set-up was probably as good as anyones.
