We’re no strangers to building Porsches. Coming off his 1,000whp 1/2-mile 991 Turbo S and his RUF conversion 996 RTurbo, the owner of CSF Race, Ravi Dolwani, has decided to throw his hat in the ring for best Porsche build of the year. This time, going back through the pages of Porsche history with a unique 911 backdate – 73 RSR style with a modern twist.
The car will be debuted at the 2021 SEMA Show, showcasing CSF’s new line of OEM+ Performance Oil Coolers for air-cooled Porsches.
