Thank all you guys for kind word~

Every since i see the 993 GT2 when it first come out. i know one day i wish i can affoard one.........( but look like i still cant affoard one now )

Few year ago. i co drive one of my friends C5 Z06 with head and cam swap, at autocross n do some HPDE driving. at that point i know i must have V8 power car but not with the American sports car handeling

So this is what i come out with. just like one of all time great racer n designer
carroll shelby combine Euro car handeling and style with good old fashion V8!!

I can't think of many 968's with an LSx motor in it. I see you retained the Porsche cruise control. Does it still function?

You have done a really good job there. I've seen a few half-assed conversions done by dreamers who thought it was a cheap option For a 944 but you have spent the money and done it right.

I also like that you have made it "yours", in that the flares, wheels and paintwork identify the car. Excellent!

The cruise control is easy to retain; the original cruise control servo acts off the throttle pedal.

Love this build also, what kind of brake setup are you using? Looks like it may be manual.

Some quick video of my 968 Dyno session

sorry for the wind noise. never know the dyno cooling fan will be this loud

car made close to 380WHP with untune ECU. by looking the dyno graph, i can see

with some fine tuning i should get a bit more then that
