2.3 Seconds, W and Project RSR
Thank you to our amazing community and supporters! New Porsche 992.2 Turbo S Drops 🔥 The Numbers: 701 HP / 590 lb-ft of torque Hybrid powertrain with dual electric turbos Displacement actually went DOWN - 3.8L → 3.6L (everyone's missing this detail!) 0-60 matches Bugatti Chiron pace Quarter-mile: 10.3 seconds Configurators showing ~$270K starting price Hot Take: While everyone's talking power numbers, the real story is Porsche achieving more with less displacement through electrification. Market Watch 👀 Wild Pricing Alert: 2014 Cayenne base model listed for $125.5K with manual transmission in Jet Green Metallic. Manual Cayennes are becoming unicorns, but this pricing is... interesting. Racing Update 🏁 IMSA at Texas: Porsche Penske took the win in wet conditions. Rain was definitely Porsche's friend - helped level the playing field against what we hear was a pretty heavy Balance of Performance penalty. Up Next: Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta is just around the corner! What's On Deck 🗓️ Event Season Heating Up: Luft gathering approaching fast Multiple rallies on the calendar Our rally participants: Time's running short to get your cars dialed in! Garage Updates: Host's car getting sorted this week 993 project: Currently running 700 lb/in front, 1100 lb/in rear spring rates (way too stiff!) Winter plans: Testing current setup, then switching to PSS10s GT3 getting Ohlins Road & Track suspension Big suspension development year ahead Cool Builds Spotlight 🛠️ Joe Rogan's RSR Project Delivery: Absolutely sick build from RSR Project (Northeast-based shop). They've been perfecting these restomods for 9+ years. What We Love: Long hood 911 restomods Proper RSR race car aesthetic Big flares, meaty tires, proper sidewall Old school racing DNA Personal Take: If we were buying a restomod, RSR Project would be top of the list. That long hood, wide-body RSR vibe with modern performance is pure perfection.
