@HowS @Dipper17 You know it. I lost sleep over what hardware to use or how to route a cable. I put my heart and soul into this build. Thanks again for taking the time to notice the details.

@akellerdrew the attention to detail is what's always blown me away with this particular build. I know how hard the builder obsessed over the smallest of details.
@HowS @Dipper17 agree. the attention to detail on this car is a whole other level. this builder has a product that is just going to increase and increase in demand. outlaws really have a wide quality range and this is by far on the highest end of the spectrum!

@Mclovin Thank you for your kind words.
I have seen this car first hand a couple of times and personally know the builder. As others have commented, this is a spare-no-expense vehicle, crafted from only the finest components, accompanied by a lot of love and care.

I had a chance to see this car while at Amelia island this spring, it was a show stopper and might be my the best car I've seen on either coast. Good luck with the auction guys.
@rheaumesammy Thank you so much!
seen a lot of outlaws in the porsche world and its hard to find one with the same build quality as this. this is clearly built in the type of clean environment like a McClaren would be assembled in. Even if its not because thats just the vibe I get. respect.

I have seen this car in the flesh on several occasions. I was at Passion Driven when they started planning the build. I was there when the SC first rolled into the shop. There is not a single detail that was not considered, there is not a single system on this car that is not done to the highest standard. Every time I see this car I am blown away. The devil is in the details with any of these builds. He's in there on this one.
