Thanks guys. It is a former K-Pax car, driven by Michael Galati in 2007.

Lots of trick stuff:
4-way JRZ's
PFC caliper & rotor combination
Upgraded Motec
Trick exhaust...Actually Porsche factory Inconel exhaust. Super light weight.
We also got to see the new Volvos they built for World Challenge. Talk about trick!
I'll post more photos soon.
The 3R and K-Pax guys have been great. No BS. The way it should be...

Keith,
Let's get to the Autobahn soon. Tell Johnson he's going!

Iconel is F1 stuff and crazy expensive. Are you keeping the graphics? (I like them!)

I plan on leaving it as is. The K-Pax and Toyo stickers that are on the car now will come off, but otherwise it should appear as it does in the second photo.

As for the car in my avatar, she's already gone. I sold the 993 to fund the purchase of a 997 Cup. I thought I was going to buy a new one from Porsche, but as I started to investigate my options, I found this car. My old car was damn near perfect (for me at least), and I loved running with the air-cooled racers. Truly a great group of enthusiasts.

I hope I'm doing the right thing...
