Ok I'll admit it too...that roof scoop is cool (beavis voice there)...could you pull it off it a street car though? and is it really worthwhile?

The car almost scares me. Sick project. i cant wait to see the results.


Doesnt it cost you more to build than actually buy a 997 GT2?
I know at least here in the US, it would cost you an arm and a leg to have someone do that to your car.

What are you going to do to the motor, turbos, software? Can you run ball bearing turbos in your class or are you doing a hybrid KKK?

997 Gt2
Hello Erik, Can you tell me who supplied the various panels on the GT2?
I have a 996 GT2R which was built from a 996 T/T shell, and another GT2R under construction, for which I am considering going with 997 panels.
I am paricularly interested in the roof air duct and the front wheel louvre vents.
We tubbed our rear guards to get the car down to the factory ride height of an RSR, but in doing so, have severely restricted the air flow to the intercoolers.
We made all the carbon panels for our cars, as nothing was available here in Australia, but I would rather just buy the roof vent etc , if someone is already making them.
We have the 2 GT2R's, an '03 Cup Car, a 993 RSR, and a 993 GT2 (GT2 is being refurb'd.)
I'll send some photos of our cars when I work out how to attach the photos?
Cheers Wayne
