A family member has a 2007 Porsche 911 turbo that had some mod work done. He was just contacted by European Car because they want to feature his car. It will be on the cover in the near future. Very cool.
I am not sure what exactly he had done (I know ECU chip and exhaust for sure... maybe more), but the car puts about 570 HP to the wheels!!!!
How good must he feel?! I thought it was pretty cool.

GENEaTALS, That's great ...

But, since you will be keeping one of your eyes out here's an extra so you don't go around bumping into things!
