I call for BS

Could it be the red flat 6-powered 951 from Sweden pictured here several years ago?

oh nooooo you're reveiling my secret!!!
I don't have the specific car in my position just yet so I thought I would lay low with the pictures for a while.

If you remember the previous threads where it was discussed what was needed to make a 951 beat a cup car. Well, let's just say that THIS is that car. It's almost everything I wanted to do.
A few highlights:
The complete rear suspension is from a 996 Cup
Front suspension completely redone with double a-arms instead of McPhersson struts.
Plus almost everything else you could want
Weight is around 1020kg, I expect it to rise to almost 1100 kg (+driver) when I'm finished but then again the 3.0l 16v will go into this car. I'm almost speachless when it comes to this car, I'm like a child at christmas times 10!!

Well you did let it slip out yourself Duke, sounds nice, and sure to be better value than doing all that to your own car.

Is this car imported from the U.S.? Reason I ask is that a car with similar specs sold in Baton Rouge a couple of years ago.

Gustaf, You really act fast, sorry about the plan considering Green Hunter though.
Lauri is coming over to Stockholm today with his student friends. (most likely ferry is just about to come to Stockholm when i am writing this) I asked him to take parts with him but for some reason he was not willing to take them... He claimed there is not enough room for engine block in ferry cabin they have. I always thought Serenade/Symphoney have huge cabins. Wasn't any problem last winter when my wife delivered that Turbo for you Today kids are strange, they won't help parents, after all engine block is rather small part to take with you to ferry
So i suppose we have to work it out as i wrote to you earlier.

So typical of todays kids, they won't even do a regular thing as carrying an engine block over the Baltic Sea for their father anymore
I can see the ferry terminal area from here, I will look out for drunk finnish teenagers
