Thats a beaut all right. Any detail shots?

Not to sound uninformed (which I am), but what's in the back?

Here's a link that gives the RSRs specs

Yeah, Being out there today was kind of an eye-opening experience; it was like, "Welcome to the NFL". :D

Denis, I would love some closeups of the brakes, cooling ducts, center lock detail etc.:)

You guys have seen these right?

And to think, Porsche isn't building race cars any more...:rolleyes:

I know, what a joke. They're building the best sports/racing/endurance cars the world has ever seen. :cool:

I want one!

The RSR's took 1st and 2nd at Sebring for Alex Job Racing. I think that was their competition debut ...... :confused:
