MY Race Car project is finally finished
Well after several long years of building and making changes, my race car is finally finished. Yes, it cost twice as much and took twice as long to build than originally planned but I am very happy with the outcome.
It statted life as a red 1978 SC euro non sunroof coupe.

Unbelievable. That is some serious firepower. There doesn't seem to be much left of the SC you started with.
I see a 993 rear suspension with a heim-joint multilink and JRZ. That is pretty slick stuff.

Yea- what everyone else said. Wow.
What does it weigh? And you're making maybe 350-360 hp out of that 3.4? It looks insanely competitive, and like a complete blast to drive. Do let us know...
