About a decade ago, Roock Racing was one of the most dominant GT racing teams at Le Mans and a short time later in the ALMS with their Porsche GT2 race cars. Since then they have focused their attention on tuning street Porsches, the latest of which is the RST 600 LM that commemorates their victory in the GT2 class at the 1996 24 Hours of Le Mans. The package includes upgraded turbochargers, a titanium exhaust system, and an upgraded ECU good for just over 600 horsepower and 611 lb-ft torque. Performance numbers are a claimed 3.1 second sprint to 60 mph and a top end of 211 mph. Roock also adds a carbon fiber clutch, fully tuned suspension, and massive 380mm drilled and vented brakes. Inside, the RST 600 LM gets carbon fiber trim, oil and temperature gauges, and custom seats with four point harnesses. Finally, subtle exterior modifications are added including a new front splitter, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and lightweight aluminum racing wheels.

Tuner Porsches rarely turn my crank. This is no exception.

The figures make me wanna wet my pants, but the exterior styling just doesnt do it any justice IMO. But a great car though(on paper at least)

Other than the rims, I struggled to see the difference between this and a Turbo visually.

^ The side skirts are different. It has that very odd (IMO) back bumper extension. And to be honest, it's the colour that gets to me the most. Gold rims just don't work unless they're on a Subaru, or they are deep dish BBS on a racecar. Not on a Porsche, especially a Turbo, which has, as standard, possibly the hottest rims in the world.

^I'm not seeing a difference in the length of the rear bumper...also, gold wheels are not required as shown by the picture of black wheels...

I didn't even notice that. Ok, black isn't too bad.

Check out a picture of a stock 997 Turbo, and youll see that this one has a lip type thing attached under the back bumper
