No, Marcin runs his own shop and the man is a genius when it comes to these cars! He got my baby up there too, next to JC's monster. Just can't wait to get her back. It will be a totally different car it will be nasty!

No, like Outcast replied totally different tuner. Marcin is literally the most knowledgeable V12tt tuner I've ever spoken with

IDK his exact shop locale he's on the East Coast, his forum handle is "Dsmed"

Date for this?

Maybe the wife and I will make it a mini vacation.

Doesn't the front of your car get completely jacked up after one of these events?

This is only for those true v12TT fanatics. The rest will find this boring.

Thanks for these eyecandies - very interesting, there is hardly any carbon residue in those exhaust runners...... or maybe you had some really WOT runs before they tore into the engine

This is only for those true v12TT fanatics. The rest will find this boring.
