Cup Car difference?

from Glen..."The most important thing to know is that if You are looking to buy a 996 Cup you had better get one with a sealed motor by Porsche(there will be a SUPERCUP sticker on the lower case bolt) and You better get it bought within the next few weeks..."
Why do you say this?

Not that artificial. vet stock 405hp, RS6 stock 450hp. viper stock 500hp
the porsches without the motorsport upgrades are in the 400 hp range, but all of the above in SpeedGT WC trim ,with exception of the viper, have more than stock HP, even the porsche factory race car, due to the motorsport upgraded engine.
not to hard to see the parity in these cars if you start adding weight to the big hp cars and give the porsche closer gearing.
by the end of the season, the cars were pretty darn close, with the edge going to the porsche.
It surely wouldnt have had to been that "artificial" if they actually ran the production cars, eliminated the factory race cars (viper/porsche gt3) and just played with the weights. I bet they are much closer as a group than most people would think!

As a note, 7 U.S. drivers were allowed to participate as "guest" drivers for the Porsche Supercup at Indy this year. In 2003, I believe they allowed 5 "guests"? Patrick Long adapts ammazingly fast to any car he has the oppprtunity to drive.

This is kind of like therapy!.... My name is Tim and I've bought an awesome car from a great/honest guy (Glen), just ask anyone who has ridden in the car. Now I just want to keep buying stuff for my car or maybe just buy a 996 Supercup or maybe just sell my M3 and buy a Gt3. Ya know, it's not my fault, I just wanted to have some fun and Glen made me into some kind of crazied maniac who can drive 15 hrs just to drive his Porsche for 3 hrs. I don't even think twice about doing it!! And I am usually driving all Friday night just to get to the track. I need HELP!! Please....HELP!!
I must stop this nonsense.
I think I actually feel better now.
By the way anyone know where I can find a good 02-04 Supercup?
I can't believe I just wrote that!!......I must foocuuus.....
Or a 04 GT3?

This is your fault Glen!
