Passed Zwartkops yeaterday, I saw 2 GT-R's exit to the left and to the right (turning in ahead of me) was a Porsche GT3.
Must've been a shootout for a magazine or TV show.

Just thinking Adam, if you had bought this car 20 years ago you would have been forced to come on my weekend course on high speed driving! The course came as part of the package when buying a Porsche from LSM Porsche in the good old days!!

LOL...yes, I probably would have slowed you down a tad, and ended up with you going a whole lot quicker around the track! :D

Just happened upon this:

singer_630.jpg


Singer Vehicle Design rolled out its first prototype, plainly named the "Singer 911," at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last month. Based on an '80s-era long-wheelbase 911 donor vehicle, the company strips each chassis to its bare shell for "reinvention" into what Singer calls a "celebration of the golden air-cooled era of the world's most important sports car."

Incontestable is its vintage Porsche 911 look. However, the Singer 911 is far from antiquated. The complete reincarnation includes chassis stiffening, new active aerodynamics, and a lightweight integral backbone structure and roll cage to improve torsional rigidity. Most interestingly, nearly all of the steel body panels are replaced by full carbon fiber composite bodywork candy-coated in Singer's exclusive "Racing Orange" paint.

Under the rear decklid is an air-cooled 3.82-liter flat-six sporting six individual throttle bodies. With a GT3 crankshaft and titanium connecting rods, the powerplant spins eagerly to 8,000 RPM. The engine sends 425 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque to a proper Getrag G50 six-speed manual transmission. According to the engineering team, the 2,400-pound Singer 911 will sprint to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Top speed is in excess of 170 MPH.
