## Resource

This week, Joe sits down with Peter Nam, founder of Gunther Werks, to talk about how a finance graduate and former tennis hopeful built one of the most respected Porsche remastering companies in the world. Peter explains the philosophy behind transforming the Porsche 993 into a modern hyper-performance machine, how Gunther Werks builds cars by hand in California, and why performance always comes before looks. They get into carbon fiber manufacturing, an 840-hp twin-turbo 911, insane six-figure paint jobs, and what it’s really like running a boutique car company in Southern California while Porsche purists scream online.
