It seems like the Stock 997.1 GT3 RS and the 997.2 GT3 aren't even trying in the roll I am amazed how hard it pulls over the stock!

I really hope I won't drive next to one someday, because I will feel terrible after it smokes my car...
Thanks and glad you liked it! We really wanted to show the "journey"... the live tuning aspect... It was a fun project start to finish

I saw you guys on "Supercars Exposed" with Tanner Foust on the Speed Channel. Do you have a copywrite on that paint-to-sample "Kermit" green?

Those twisty mountain roads are very appealing as well... *cruising* through the streets of Boston just doesn't quite cut it.

Looks like Big Sur. Can't be too hard to find - in the article it looks like they take a ferry ride somewhere.

Norcal is a tough place to beat. I bought an aircooled 911 in SFO about 10 years ago and drove it back up the coast on 101. Would love to head back there one day. We have a similar road here north of Whistler ski resort that offers awesome scenery, sphincter puckering twisties and little in the way of the po-lice.
