Porsche Profiles: Ross Vincenti 1998 Porsche Boxster 986 Spec Racer

Ross Vincenti's 1998 Porsche Boxster Spec Race Car speeding on track

If there is one thing that Porsche does better than pretty much any other car manufacturer, that is providing their customers with race cars thinly disguised as road cars. This has been the way of things since the original 356 Speedsters and 550 Spyders, to the Carrera 2.7 RS (RennSport literally means “Racing Sport”), to the modern era where Carrera Cup cars are stripped out Type 991 911s with racing bits screwed on to them. Well, it’s a little more complicated than that, but that’s the gist of it: practically all Porsche cars are, to some extent, race cars.

As we at Stuttcars do so love our Porsche race cars, when Ross Vincenti sent in his car to our site, we couldn’t say no to pointing a spotlight at his amazing 1998 Porsche Boxster 986 Spec Racer. Well, we should say “their”—while Ross is the one that contacted us, he went half-and-half on purchasing and running the car with his friend Alan, so it’s only fair to mention him as well.
