Default 993 CUP with 3.9 400hp / 8,000rpm

Got your attention, hahah!!!

While my GT2 EVO project is finally looking like it'll be finished for this season, I am already looking at a next project.

Call me crazy but I would like to build a no-compromise 993 CUP creation, where less is more. i.e. narrow body, all CF. No wings, no flares etc.
Very light weight with 3.9 400hp 8,000rpm air cooled engine.

Woudn't that be a cool project and a cool car to hoot around the track with?

You get my vote. I would even keep it stealth. Nothing beats a low key car that goes like the hammers of hell!

Cool project indeed, and bonus points for duplicating the paint or wrap on this one!

Default 993 Cup Project, yes sir...

Yes please...

living vicariously via Juha's projects in the forum is the next best thing...




Flymo #24 or #25 would be a 2nd classic Cup livery choice. The multi-colored rims on the #1 / #26 was a one off seldom to be seen again. I understand the idea, but it was never practical.

But the heart wants what the heart wants, go for it!!!

Sounds like a great car, but I would't want to give up the Cup aero

With over 400hp on tap you definitely need the aero package of a Clubsport/RSR if you intend to use it to the limit on track. A lifting rear end causing oversteer over 150mph is no fun to deal with, just trust that you do not need to ask me how I know......
