very nice project. It seems like money for sure isn't an issue or a limiting factor in this built. What is the entire budget you have planned for this?
Just adding up a fully built 3.9 engine with MOTEC, massive tub mods, full 935 suspension, paint, new donor tub, etc. I am wondering if you could almost buy a 997 cup car outright instead....
Keep us posted with lots of pictures on progress.
Cheers,

I don't know about a 997 cup, but certainly I am in 996 GT3 territory.
But the way I see it is that since I am not a pro this has to be first of all FUN.
I know I could have bought a faster, more powerful, newer car for less money...
But my car will be something special.. something different, almost unique. I will have decided every details of it...
It was not meant to go this far.. I just wanted to fix mine after the crash and get it back on the road asap....
When I learnt that it would take a while to fix the tub I thought abt "upgrading" the 3.6... I had some time and some spare cash... And the rest is history...
A little better here, a little cooler there, no budget and I ended up with this.
Sometimes I wonder if I went a little too far. In the quest of making this the ultimate fun 911 I might have created a "monster" and messed up the "balance". it takes more than a hugely powerful engine and light chassis to make a good car.
We'll see...
