@ 11sec: Nope, we built it and was tuned for drag racing. Sold it eventually for an Evo 5.
@ evotec: Yes I am selling the 993TT for a GTR. why is this so?
I am the type who wants more out of a car. To modify a 993TT with an RUF supercharger and techart parts will be costly. Now I know what you are thinking of, the amount of money i had spent for my cars already just to modify them. Lets say I throw in another $20k into a porsche, i may not be able to get as much power and performance than throwing in $20k into a GTR that may even give me more than 600whp. 
Besides, my 348TB is already bone stock, one stock car in my stable is enough. I just love the fullfilment i get whenever i modify them. to me, modifying and tuning is not only a lifestyle and hobby, it is an art. Lastly, i got manuals on the RB26DETT and had read many articles about it. I had wet dreams after reading it 
@ Evo 990: there is now quite a big number of Skyline GTRs terrorizing our roads already, especially the skyway and nlex. they are mostly R32s and R33s. The most famed road monster here is the Autoplus R34 GTR. It made 1200whp 2.5bar C16, 880whp @ 1.9 bar C16, and 700whp @ 1.5 bar pump gas 96octane no alky. It even beat the Autoplus Ford GT at the 0-300kph time test held at the NLEX durng a funrun. Though of course the Ford GT will always beat the Skyline in long runs.

And I must say, I AM GETTING ONE!!! Contacted my friend from JApan to send me prices of used R34s.
I need to fit this all in at my garage. My Evo 5 is now too precious for me, my Ferrari is even more precious, the Porsche 993 is somewhat precious. Im getting rid of the 993 for an R34! Crazy, yeah? This R34 handles better than my Porsche, though not as powerful bonestock, but an R34 can be modified to more than 1000hp easily. 700whp will be enough.
Anyway, enjoy the vid! Taken here in the Philippines. Check out the plates.

As for now, Im still looking for a good GTR. The black GTR is great but if i can get a better deal on a GTR Vspec, then that would be it. I got a Motec M800 sitting on my drawer for almost 6 months. it was supposed to go on the Evo 7 but did not push through. So at least the GTR already has a Motec M800 EMS waiting
now canvassing also for twin HKS GT3037 turbines and a Veilside manifold.

Porsches are great cars, but when you compare it dollar for dollar to the Skyline GT-R, it just doesn't keep up. I think Porsche has become just a status performance car, but not necessary a wise choose for your money. If you have money to burn, then buy a Ferrari, don't bother with the Porsche.
