Danny,
yeah thats my 951, and the 911 is my fathers 965 (1992 C2 Turbo). We have a nice deal worked out so that I can buy it from him in a few years when he gets bored of it.
As far as the BAR / ATM thing, I was using a conversion calulcator when I saw his sig, thats why I decided to nit pick, and to be honest the bunny made me do it.....

Isn't the 965 what Will Smith had in BadBoys? more specifically, a 3.6 Turbo?
"It's $105,000 and this happens to be one of the fastest production cars on the planet -- 0-60 in 4 seconds sweety. Limited Edition."
"You damn right it's limited.. no cup-holders, no back seat, just a shiny..."

Would you believe I saw a $1500 distributor rotor and a $1000 distributor cap on a 911 engine? Sure, it was for a twin-plug engine, but still!!!
"I would imagine the 1 thing that keeps even used turbos for a 996 high is the price that the owners are willing to spend."
Yup, I bet that amortized costs of producing a 959 doesn't even approach the $1mil+ that was paid for those things.
If you look at car modifications as a whole many times a higher quantity selling part for a higher end car is still higher priced than the same part for a lower selling but cheaper car because they know they can get it. "
Some identical items on our cars can be had with Mercedes or Audi part# for a lot less.

BoostGuy951,
I'm running a custom one off K29. It worked out so well, David ordered a second for his own car.
Ian,
You are absolutely right. looking back at my dyno sheet, it was at 1.45 bar. I left off the .5 bar not knowing it would make any difference. My fault, thanks. The bunny made me laugh out loud. Thanks
