Hmmmm...engine is a 968,there's turbo with "stuff",but...the vented nose panel is a 924 Turbo/Carrera GT item. 
It has wide front fenders and hood scoop,so it isn't 924 Turbo.I'm not so familiar with 924/944 N/A cars to say if the chassis is real 924 Carrera GT or just 944 N/A with OEM parts.Or perhaps some really weird hybrid...anyway it's bound to be FAST! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
Does anyone have a clue of it,or maybe more pictures?
Cheers,Pete

So,your government is as insane as ours when speaking about taxing cars...
You've done nice job!

PS.I was wrong about the hood scoop,you've stripped off the insulation material from the hood (inside,of course),so it looked like it had a hole like Carrera GT...

The vented nose panel is neat as long as the rain and road water it takes in does not go directly into an air filter. Otherwise you will destroy the engine IF too much water gets taken in at once.
Now a little water may just be good as water injection is used in turbo charged WW2 fighters.
Road taxes: I paid $88 USD for my yearly car license. It was $58 USD but I was a week late. On a fill up of about 14 gallons, $1.70 per gallon, I pay $7 USD in directly related transportation taxes. Of the $7 about 20% is diverted to public transportation. I pay about $76 a month in insurance. If I fill up my car twice per month that's $170 per year in road taxes.
If you are paying more than is necessary to run the roads you are getting it in the shorts.

The wheels fit without modifications.
I can't help but laugh a bit when americans complain about the taxes on their driving, sorry guys.
In Norway gazoline costs about 5 US dollars for a gallon 80% of that are taxes.
The annual car tax are about 200 bucks per car.
A new car is taxed with a basis on HP (about 100 bucks per horse after the first 160 or so, lower rate on the first horses), displacement and vehicle weight. In additoin to the normal 24% VAT that goes for any commercial sale.
The only positvie side is that you get a high discount when a vehicle is used.
With so high car taxes you would recon we have magnificent roads and public transportation in my country, but no that is sadly very far from the truth. Most of the "highways" are narrow single laned twisty roads in poor condition, with speed limits at 40 to 50mph, 30-35mph when the "highway" goes through a town with pedestrant crossings and such. And I don't want to get started on the public transportation systems.
Not the best place to be a car freak, or just being a licensed driver for that matter.

I love that car. That car and Seb's car from asarus.com have been my two inspirations. I have a 931 vented header panel in my possesion now that will be painted and installed when the weather warms up here......

So where do your car taxes go to???
I'm not complaining about my taxes other than the 20% skim for public transit.
And I don't think that most Americans will ever hold still for $3 a gallon taxes either. Even the exorbitant value added taxes that some states have each year on car licenses are getting reduced if not removed.
It's this thing about taxes that we have from 200 years ago -- was called the stamp act.

Noone really knows.
Although being among the worlds top oil exporters it looks like our government needs just more and more money to perform less tasks, each year.
It get cuaght up in the bureaucraticy I guess
Did I mention the alcohol tax, and tocacco tax?
A bottle of the cheapest vodka (0.7L 40%) cost 35 bucks while a 20 pack of cigaretts cost about 8 bucks. 0.5L of beer in a shop costs at least 2.50 bucks.
Not that I smoke... <img src="graemlins/drink.gif" border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" />

And liberals in America look to your country as the zenith of economic achievement. One of these days, Americans will realize how good we REALLY do have it.

OK. So it's expensive to live in Norway, but:
* I can walk anywhere in this country in the middle of the night without worring about muggers and robbers.
* If I get ill, I don't have to worry about insurance to get the best treatment available.
* We don't have to dream about a white christmas.
* We work for peace, not war.
* We don't have a triggerhappy cowboy as our top political leader.
* Natural disasters are more or less non-existent.
* If I run a fast-food chain, I don't have to worry about being sued by lazy lardasses.
* I understand the language :-)
It's a great place to live, believe me.
