Mamma mia.... Bellissima!

Fantastic! I have been following your project... You must be very proud!

tom, that car is really a model for how it's done right.

How is that door bar tied in to the rear roll bar and/or chassis?

Rufblackbird 10-18-2005 04:01 PM

wow...just over 2100lbs and 245rwhp...I'm so jealous!

car looks really awesome...2 years is well worth it!

pa911 11-03-2005 02:16 PM

One of my favorites.

Consider writing a book with pics from early dreams, the rotten frat boys, to the build, and completion... There must be many good stories. The car is definitely in the top 10 RSR projects (maybe even 5)!

Here's another chapter on the book about dreaming the RSR.

My son Matt,who is now 21 wrote this little note for a school project back in the 2nd or 3rd grade. He didn't quite get the model and year right but the color is almost spot on.

He always has been a good listener.

Sounds like he was raised properly!

You must be the Tom in CT that I sold some 6"x16" Fuchs to. They look a little different now...

I had the pleasure of meeting Tom this morning and seeing and riding in his RSR. Tom's car is outstanding. The fit, finish, and detail are 1st class. This is one of, if not, the nicest 911's I have ever seen in person. It sounds really good too.

Tom's car is very inspiring, makes me want to rip my 911 aprt today and start my project
:)

Thanks again Tom

My Excellence has not arrived yet. I'm chomping at the bit to see it!

Elombard 11-07-2006 02:32 AM

Its a great article - great car!

How are the tires holding up? Do they turn into rocks after a few months of heat cycling or are you getting a few years out of them?

Porsche Doc 11-07-2006 11:32 AM

Very Nice Man!:D
Great job. ;)
Great artical in Excellence?
The C4RSR will be in soon.:)

I just joined the BBS but I've read everything out there on Tom and this car and I'm just blown away. Not only is the car perfect in every way but the story behind it and the father/son bond is really touching. My son is 4 and he's a bigger car nut than my father and I combined and we're certifiable. We talk cars every free moment of course his favorites are Porsche and Ferrari. Someday I hope to work on a project like this with him and also go to the track and share those experiences as well.

That is absolutely priceless and confirms to all of us outsiders how much of a dream-come-true this project was for you.

Congratulations on a gorgeous car.
