    It is definitely where the money and market is. I built my own Porsche supercar. A 73 with a tuned 3.6 engine. 320Hp in a 2300 pound car. RUF started my love of tuned 911s after visiting his factory and sitting in the original yellowbird.

      I prefer the original 911 torsion bar chassis myself as being more pure than the 964 or 993. There's just something in it's simplicity. Being a legend doesn't hurt either. Your build is very stout and is probably one of the best drives on the planet. Keyboard racers won't get past HP number. No one can describe the feeling so it's of no use to change their minds, lol.

    All wheel and good for the extremely wealthy but if you’re a regular slob like me get a 981 Boxster S or Cayman S. My Boxster S with lithium battery, gutted front trunk and light weight exhaust weighs 3000 lbs. with headers and stage two tune makes about 365-370hp. It handles better than a 911 being mid engined and is much easier for novices like me to drive quickly. It’s so good I honestly don’t hunger for these monsters. I’d worry constantly about damaging them and they can’t be utilized safely or legally on the street at anywhere near their limits. Extremely cool just not attainable , useable or practical.

      Other than that, nice video. It's interesting to see how and where each company chooses to refine our improved the design vs. staying true to the original. The Singer Classic is so subtle, then the DLS moves the engine air intake to the rear side window

    Not to be sour grapes, but the downside to these companies going after (predominantly) the 964 variants is that the cost of untouched 964’s is now through the Ruf (see what I did there?) and makes them all largely unobtainable to those of us that long for an un-Singered 911. Just my thoughts, and not discrediting the design and engineering achievements of Singer, Guenther Werks, etc….again, just my thoughts.
