Not sure if this is a repost or not.

I'll spare you the "enzo", but yeah, this was posted a couple of days ago. It's still awful.

Coolest pick-up ever! Only thing I would change is make the bed more scratch proof and useful. Oh, and those side moldings have to go!

And then I'd call "LEER" or one of its competitors, and ask for a camper shell for a 928 pick-up... LOL!

This video of it is everywhere also:

Wonder what was done to engine to make it 6.1L. At least some info says its 6.1L and has 390 hp. Installing 968 pistons or stroker crank alone will not give that much displacement.

Like it or not, you have to give the guy credit. That was A LOT of work and from the pics and the video he did a top notch job on it. Id imagine only the fwd set of wheels (original ones) are driven. The aft probably are just freewheeling as he drives? He needs 500hp in that thing to shut up the nay sayers

I'll take it! It would be a nice parts getter and would look awesome pulling a trailer with a nice 928 on it. What ever happened to that trailer that someone posted a year or so back of a trailer that was made from 928 parts...like the front and rear bumper covers?

Once again I say.......

I don't understand why people want to take a hack saw and a blow torch to one of the extreme few "perfect" cars ever made. I just don't get it. Two years, god knows how much money, what used to be a great GTS, some scrap metal, and all for what? A COMPLETELY USELESS PICKUP TRUCK THAT CAN'T EVEN HAUL BEER!! Nice.

DUMB!!!!
