Some of the comments are really funny

Thanks a lot guys, it does feel good to see the car that you have built from the ground up featured in one of the top Porsche magazines without having asked for it. It took one year to build from scratch and had everything from roof to tires changed.

Some of the things that were edited/removed are that this car has the lap record from a standstill (street legal cars) at the Dubai track with only a few laps under my belt, comparatively speaking vs. the competition. Trust me it was the car and its setup, not the driving. It is 6 seconds ahead of the fastest 996-997 GT3 (RS) and 3 seconds faster than the fastest track prepared 996 turbo/GT2 driven by a pro..

They mention a 15 second difference "only" vs. the fastest 997RSR that was raced professionally on this track by the winning 24 hour team, however they edited/removed that my lap was a standing start lap whereas the RSR was a flying lap, that's about 8 seconds here, so the real difference is 7 seconds or so vs Porsche fastest race car driven by a top professional...

My car has all rubber suspension still, 2WD and NO LSD!

993s can be very fast cars!

I wish the June issue of GT Purely Porsche would show up already. My local magazine store still doesn't have it.
