For most people who dream of owning a supercar, they hope to just simply own it. Driving around a car worth more than most people’s homes is usually enough to satisfy anyone. However, in the case of Seattle-area car enthusiast Jag Matto, even a 2004 Porsche 911 Turbo isn’t a car that could be left untouched.
Jag is no stranger to modifying high-profile cars. In the past, he owned an E36 M3 and an E46 M3, both of which graced the pages of magazine spreads and won trophies. This time around however, his plans aren’t restricted to the show circuit. Instead of going big with in-car entertainment, Jag put his money into the motor. Complete with Evolution Motorsport’s GT700 turbo upgrade kit, Jag’s 700 crank-hp monster is well on its way into new Porsche territory.
Traditionally, Porsches were mostly scene on circuit tracks. However, Jag plans to unleash his monster upon the drag strip. Much to the dismay of many all-wheel drive enthusiasts and purists, in the works is a conversion to rear-wheel drive, since the current all-wheel drive system is hard to launch from a dig. Jag’s shooting for 10s easy with trap speeds around 135 mph, but until then he just plans to drive the hell out of it. After all, that’s what a car is truly made for: to be driven.
