I think a few of you are missing the point. There is a huge difference between "heavily modified" (like Jack's car) and the wholesale changes some make. Hey, my car is "heavily modified", but it is done with "period correct" parts that were in widespread use on these cars back when it was new. No one racing a 911 in 1972 would look at my car (or Jack's) and wonder "what on earth is that?".
We're talking things like this 996 transmission swap, requiring the total elimination of the torsion bar tubes and all surrounding structure. We're talking a car that was recently in Excellence that began life as (I believe) a 3.2 Carrera that now has essentially a 997 GT3 suspension under it, along with its brakes. We're talking LS swaps. Electric motor swaps. Carbon brake discs.
We're not talking swapping your 2.0 "T" motor for a 2.7 RS motor. We're not talking welding RS or Turbo flares to your car. We're not talking heavier torsion and sway bars. We're not talking going from M calipers to aluminum S, or A, or wide A calipers. We're not talking adding a duck or whale tail. None of this fundamentally changes the essence, the character of the car.
