I am driving a M6 (and loving it).
Yes, I sold the Porsche. There were many reasons for my decision. Ultimately, the process of building and maintaining the car, and everything associated with that, took a pound of flesh from me and taxed my patience, sanity, serenity and quality of life to such a degree that I simply had to eliminate the proverbial monkey on my back. In the end, I lost the will and desire to continue. I was no longer deriving the same enjoyment from the car that I once had and I was no longer willing to make the necessary commitment. Those who have substantially modified their cars will know what I am talking about. This was the first car that I ever substantially modified and I did not know what to expect. In retrospect, I went too far and, in so doing, I undermined the enjoyment that I once derived from the car. In retrospect, I should have stopped the modding process many moons ago and been happy with a mid-power car that was a blast to own and drive. However, my OCD got the best of me and I went farther than I should have. It was a difficult decision to sell the car but, six months later, I do not regret it one bit. Yes, my M6 is a far cry from my Porsche is so many ways. On the other hand, my M6 is easy/mindless and, for now, easy/mindless is good!
Regards,
Craig

the hp looks like it is legit,but if you look at the torque it is the only Porsche motor I have seen that the torque rises after they intersect at 5200 rpm,which would lead me to believe that both values are hp on the graph.I don't know 
Can we see the whole graph and know what the lines on the graph are representing?Either way I am sure the owner doesn't run from a roll under 5k.LOL

not cool.
there are those of us who have a few cars and eight figures tied up in them. everyone has a "rounding error" on their net worth and that's where the car budget generally sits.
i could buy anything in the world as a car but at the limit, only one of them. i have to agree with craig that when the car gets to 900hp and runs you 50k annually after-tax to maintain it's probably no fun. thus the EVO guys with their 40k cars that do 500hp.
big fun on a more modest budget.
love my p-car. going to 900hp, definitely not. doing rods in a few months and going for some ~700 kit? absolutely.
everyone has a limit. we have to respect craig for finding his, for the time being. and what we DO know if that whenever craig does a project, he does it really, really right, so you respect the passion and commitment as well.

I drove the car and it's really really special.
The point in posting the graph was not to show off but rather share my experience at proto and what I seen.... RWHP numbers on the dyno and not flywheel...

JOe both lines are HP lines.. that is because different hardware was tested and then compared...

Man, curves like these make me dizzy and reinforce everything I think of lightly loading chassis dynos. I bet that this car (I think I know which one it is) has at least 20-30% more torque downlow in reality than what this graph shows, and 20-30% less peak HP also most likely 
Typical quick-run-light-load dyno run.
