Message	I have been working at a shop where besides numerous amount of Supras, 300ZXs, an NSX, super charged Denali there is also two Racing Porsches one is a Lemans GT3 there website is [ www.j3racing.com. ] And I see go over pick up parts like the fenders, hatch, doors, hoods, intake box. The race car itself only weighs around 2300lbs and has 450HP (limited by regulations). I also have to work around these cars that have these huge 14.5" Rotors with carbon fiber shrouds, that are incased in one piece magnesum wheels that are 18x12 and weight less than 18lbs. There is some cool technology in these races cars I just want a bit of it :-) Ofcourse there money and budgets are huge :-)
