^^ Hope Scott doesn't think it too snobbish to link them here
Awesome! Glad he (Steve) posted them.
Poor guy drives an M96-powered car, so I'll let him throw whatever jabs he wants those of us lucky enough to have air cooled cars. Someone has to perpetuate the 993 vs 996 drama now that Johnny Irish is gone.
^^ Hah
Steve did a great job of controlling his seething anger toward 993 "snobs" at Friday's FD party!

PCA.org's driver interview for #001, a 1995 911 in the GT3 class from Oregon:

001 (and the sister car 002) was built by Kelly Moss Racing back in the day to race against the factory 993 RSRs. The objective was to use the Porsche Motorsport 993 RSR drivetrain but produce cars that would be faster than the factory cars. Kelly Moss undertook a significant amount of chassis, suspension, and aerodynamic development to produce cars that would be capable of this.
In their first event at Road America the story goes that 001/002 were five seconds a lap quicker than the factory 993 RSRs. Soon after they were banned from pro racing and were subsequently used in limited PCA Club Racing and other racing series. 002 was later converted to a water-cooled 996 RSR drivetrain with some success. Over the years both 001 and 002 have featured in several Porsche publications (Panorama, Excellence, etc.).
I purchased 001 in 2013, and with Kelly Moss Motorsport and Rothsport Racing, undertook a complete back-to-bare-metal restoration and updated much of the mechanical, suspension, and aerodynamic components. Since then I have done limited PCA club races, breaking the the GT3 lap record at Road America and Circuit of the Americas.

The owner kept racing the car that season and sold it to one of Alex Job's customers. At that time, Alex hired me to crew for him, and I continued to work on the car. The original customer who I raced the car with at the 24 Hours of Daytona bought the car back and hired me to restore it in 2004. In 2006 I made a deal to purchase the car. In 2008 I took delivery of it and continue to race it in special events.
