As for tte remark about them being $100k cars? You are joking right? You can buy a Boxster with a popped motor for less than $5k. A popped 996 car is $10k and a good running one is $20-30k. These aren't 935s and 2.7 RSes they are converting. There is no great sin against the ghost of Ferry being committed here.

Like I said, not something that appeals to me in the least but let's keep things in perspective here.

A well running 996 can be had for $10K now. Check out this thread: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-996-997-forum/744063-996-prices-bottomed-out.html
