What’s it sell for?

Dang that’s hot! I’m not a big fan of the interior, but the rest of it is mint.

Very cool build that even has what Nathan likes most in a Porsche engine bay (a yyyuuuuuugggeeeeee intercooler covering almost the whole topside! ).

It would be interesting to ask the guys at Patrick Motorsports why they retained the curved blade fan (used by Porsche to reduce noise at a significant loss of air volume), especially considering the actual Turbo engines of that era still used the superior, straight blade fan.

I think I would have been disappointed if they built a short hood RSR NA. However I would have still hid that giant sweater box or have two smaller ones or something.

Nice build. I would prefer RSR Fuchs but that is just me.

Patrick Motorsports seems to be the Kings of 3.8 turbo builds. They've built some sweet rides. I'd love to work there and soak up all the knowledge in that shop.
