About 3 years ago, Fabian Roock scammed me on a set of mods on my car and numerous others. Back then I thought he was a con artist loser, and things haven't changed. However, Their lead mechanics, and product developer Neil Orton who tried to make things right, earns respect. He, though under the logo Roock, developed this car from soup to nuts. Mods went internal too.









Should have been called Orton Performance.

0-60 in 3.1 sounds good.

What's the best anyone here has done (0-60) with the Stage 4 GT?

Isn't this what Chris (CFG) got really pissed about since he was kissing Fabin's A$$ and so forth?

Amazing stuff. It's somewhat depressing that the even slightly modified 996TT is about the fastest car on the road, under $500k. In a straight line it appears all these stage 4++++ cars will destroy an Enzo or CGT (to be determined).

Every time I consider another car, lambo, ferrari, whatever, I never pull the trigger because none can outperform the TT, and aren't even in the ballpark of your Stage 4++ cars. Where do you go from here?

Thats one of the reasons i picked up the C4S, it was between my Speed Yellow C4S and a Red Turbo. Both cars brand new but i wanted something to "look forward" to. Despite many offers from people on this board, I won't even get in a stock turbo let alone a modified one since i'll probably look at my car as "inadequate" in terms of horsepower. I'm relishing the anticipation for as long as i can.
