Whaaaaaat??????

Paddy

HA, I was thinking the same

HalfGerman

So how much would it cost then to take a 1995 Cup car and send it back to Porsche for the exact same conversion? ( which is where he thinks it will cost a mill to do)

Paddy

Body kit, cams, and slide injection EFI with RSR plenum. All can be bought at FVD motorsport. So starting with a Cup car you're talking 15K in parts.

I thought all the body steel was seam welded on these cars. Just stripping the car down and doing this would be expensive.

I thought there were quite a few 993 cup cars (240) sold at one time and they are not that rare.

Paddy, I understand you can replicate the car, probably for much cheaper. But I was just wondering if you went to Porsche , just how much they would lighten your wallet?

Paddy - this makes your car a bargain. Now where's my checkbook?

My wife's been nagging me to tell her what I want for Christmas. Now I know!

Paddy's car actually has the correct G50/30 trans missing from that car

If I recall, was listed for $750k this spring/summer, guess the market is helping find a price point.

Note to self, buy Lotto ticket.

FVD also sells the RSR flare kit. (I have it on my white car).

I think the RSR engine is not based on the CUP engine. It must have different internals to rev all the way to 7,900rpm.

I did this with my GT2. It was about 100hours of labor to build the cage and reinforce the body by adding more welds to the seams + cleaning up the whole chassis from unnecessary weight. Add paint and re-assembly and your are looking at 200 hours of work. With 100$/hr it's "only" 20k USD.

I don't think Porsche would do this but I am sure Manthey Racing would build you a proper 993 RSR with genuine parts. I'm guessing that would be a 100-150k job + the donor car.

It's a shame it's so expensive. I suspect it probably will never see a track surface again.
