Actually the name of this model is the "380rs-competetion" or "380rs-c"...

Here it is in action...

I was under the impression that the HR had twin throttle bodies... Is this not correct?

std HR's do have twin throttle bodies, but the RS-C is a race car, with an extensively modified engine; it's nowhere near a std HR

I figured as much... But from kwame's comment it seemed like he thought the HR did not.

The normal VQ35hr in the 07+ Z are 3.5 liter motors with twin throttle bodies.

The motor in the 380rs-C is a 3.8 liter with six individual throttle bodies.

not for nothing, but an 08 911 cup car is significantly more expensive than $285k

that's a used car though....used race cars, especially ones without any historic significance (such as a cup car), hold no value relative to their cost new or cost to build

If you want to compare apples to apples, and '08 GT3 Cup goes for around $390k at today's exchange rate

me calls the GT3 without traction control, the "widow maker". That is some serious ish to drive aggressively. I didn't even want to ask for a test drive when I was at the Porsche Exchange, lol
