I always wonder if is economically doable on a 993tt sunroof delete shell. A friend suggested that. If you going to call a 993gt2 , then it should be everything in it or not do the job. Can we discuss this in a respectful manner. What’s your suggestion. ???

No way are all the parts available though?

Its been done... Jochen Rohr build probably the most accurate rendition of a GT2 several years ago but he had amassed most of the parts necessary from his racing days.



I don't see the point today... Even if you managed to source all of the original Porsche parts to build a GT2, you still won't have a true GT2. You will have a cool 993 but4 the sum of its parts will always be more valuable than the car as a whole

.👍 Did they ever posted all parts it took. The rear wing as a factory one, it’s price very high this days. I found a few pieces for a friend years ago. I have to say that he’s very close. This guy went from team to team buying parts 20years ago. I went true the parts manual from his motorsports book, there’s so much is overwhelming. But like I said he’s close.

I guess your goal is part of the answer. It will not have OEM pedigree, so is an accurate GT2 "reproduction" of more value to you than a better GT2 "tribute" with newer tech / less costly 3rd party "tribute" parts?

But it is a free market to do as you choose. Enjoy the journey which ever path you take. Rarely is the investments in upgrades (OEM or 3rd Party) recovered at resale.

I guess we never know what the engine specs where, same in transmission . My guy had a real transmission out of a gt2 that was a spare g50/54 yes with external pump.

Cemoto

I took these photos back in 2015 when the car visited my home track in it's inagural season. . . . not great photos but it is the car.

If is not build by Porsche they are all mods , you can only do this with original parts not like the restomod , they go all out in rendering their version not backed up by Porsche, you have one with a wide body that look like a peanut butter allergy, the other one took all 964 and dump a bunch of money in it to make their own idea, then the cigarette smoking bandit with a hack saw doing absolutely nothing but ruined this cars. You have to realize that Porsche made the 993 with everything a super car needed. To the point that you go to the track with very little you can be where other car manufacturers spends millions to try to get near of what’s a 993 can do. 993 a true work of art as it sits. Everything else is just poor imagination. Example: lower the car , you just made the rear axles work harder therefore shortening their life. big brakes, big mistake, to the ignorant owner that read an article of a aftermarket company claiming you get better stopping power, yes is true but what they fell to say was only awd n turbo with the powerful hydraulics are the aplicación because regular brakes will over Heat the fluid to the point of boiling to loose brakes in the track. There’s a ton of aftermarket items that look good but when they are apply to the wrong application now all the problems show up. If upgrades have no value at time of sell , then why all this restomod people make so much money of ignorant hype feed buyers. If you want to verify what I just said , then talk to a real Porsche gt2 racer that have all the inside as of the amazing car Porsche build.

Blah, blah, blah…Porsche made a really nice STREET 993 Turbo. If you decide to do more with it then certain enhancements make the car that much better for the owner. Your last statement said it all…talk to a Porsche GT2 racer…key word being “racer”…a car MODIFIED for its intended use.

Unless the post what tge engine n transmission where, is hard to claim that.

And you will never have the right vin and tub with whatever you end up building. We can go around and around on this all day. Not sure why this is really a conversation piece. The closest one "non GT2 but a GT2" is that yellow one in Switzerland but still from the factory. Think it was for sale a while ago

The street GT2 and CS engine share the ECU and K24 turbo's from the Turbo S model rated at 450hp, same part numbers and same ROW engine. The original factory GT2 tail is very heavy and very expensive, your better of buying a good quality lighter fibreglass tail from FSH in Germany and keep the original thicker 993 glass to compensate the weight. The key parts are the aluminum doors and hood to save the bulk of the weight. Like chsu74 said, if you don't have the original tub from a GT2 it will never be a real GT2 even with the factory parts package.

Being there, done that.

On 2nd note I have a G50/54 and no pump and external cooler, the G50/54 as a special RWD nose housing with internal oiling passage that feeds oil in the middle of the main shaft like the AWD turbo trans, the 993 C2 G50 doesn't have that oiling feature, also the GT2 EVO and R! as the tranny pump and cooler.

Still lots of street factory 993 GT2 original parts are still available, unfortunately the inner wheel well plastic shrouds are NLA now days.

Not sure what the debate is “ is it financially worth it to build a GT2 from factory parts “ ? Since I also have a tribute mine being done right around the time Jochens was done some five or more years back I’d have to say HELL YES ! I am financially still able to do other things I prefer to do and also have a GT2 clone damn close built on a ‘96 turbo .
I don’t care to go into all the upgrades and alterations to my specific vehicle but needless to say the exterior , interior , suspension and some necessary mechanical 2WD etc
were brought to either RS or GT level and yes it is an incredible experience to drive without the necessary financial hit of a real one should you get the chance to find one ..Bert

C4Spolar

I totally agree!
