Stock the turbo is blazing. Wow. Those numbers are very impressive considering its rather heavy at 3500 pounds. I wonder what the top speed is.

Their website lists the top speed at 210+ mph. Not sure what the others have actually recorded.

awesome. Its been a long time since I've heard any news about Roock. Good to see they're alive and kicking and still making some kick ass cars

Seriously this is one of my favorite tuner porsches. I read about this a while ago (and there was a long period where i was obsessed with this car and this tuner) and i'm just enthralled by it. It's also easier to get 911s tuned by roock cuz they have an atlanta station, unlike many of the exclusively euro tuners.
I dig the body kits, and the performance is stellar. Thanks for the scan.

^The beauty is in the subtilty. While the salient difference between most tuners is not all that great, it definitely matches the ideology of Porsche - why else would they have so many different models of the 911, from the regular Carerra to the GT2, that all look similar? It's to separate the wannabee automobile cognoscenti from the legit aficionados.
I dig it, deeply.
Tho if you really want something different, check out Hamann's kits and tuning. And even more extreme (to the point where you can hardly tell it's a Porsche,) check out Patritti.
