I've been trying to push you into a 3.8L for months... I think I'll have to get fast enough to beat you at the track to make it happen... nothing else seems to be working. Should be doable with 230WHP in an Elise at Thunderhill. Watch out next year Better get that 3.8L before then... ha ha ha
I haven't heard any issues about ForcedFed delivering cars recently... dunno for sure though... don't want a turbo.

GTS is 118k, aghast.
included a new cayman s, pccb, jic coil over, sway bar, custom header, exhasut, ecu, 19" fikses, carbon mirror housing, rear spoiler... i may be foregtting a few things but that's about it. oh LSD too. no interior changes (that's extra).

I am not sure that I care about the cosmetics, or about having a real GTR. Having a sleeper, well, as much of a sleeper as a viper green porsche can be, is really appealing to me. Can you imagine the look on people's faces when a debadged Cayman eats their lunch?

i dont car for the 997 nose in fact i like cyaman nose much better. and i hate carbon parts. they are all fake. i have enough carbon bike frames, no carbon on cars for me.
i also dont care for jic coil overs or 19" wheels.
just give me the motor and the LSD and call it a day ;-)

So the GTR or GTS is 118K
So if I get this straight, if one would want to reproduce this kit on is own he would....
A- Buy the car (cayman S) 60+K
B- the motor....... +/- 35K
C- suspension +/- 3.5K
D- Wheels and tires +/- 4K
E- Nose job... Humm +/- 4.5K
F- LSD +/- 2.5K
G- Sway bars +/- 1.5K
H- Misc. +/- 1.5K
Total: 112.5K
I might be way off on some prices but this gives me a rough idea on how much it would cost. You could lower the purchase price of the car since the entire engine will be trashed but still.....
So any of you guys really considering it!!!!
