I like the color. Hood looks strange up near the windshield. That antena eats up about 15 HP at speed.

that looks like a secan intercooler core, which as we all know, is worth more than my car.

the wiper mod is serious too.

What exactly does "raked" mean? Shortened? Angle changed?

Why keep the sunroof, when doing all that roof work?

Given that it's parked in front of RS Tuning, I am wondering if this is not the famous 533hp 964 Carrera 4/993TT that did 0-300 kph in 25.9 s back in 1997.. in an updated version and different color however. Looks like it has a secan now, not the race one though.Yes sloped windshield, no gutters and a modified 5 gear gearbox among other things..

Looks purposeful, it's no doubt rapid, come on Toby spill the beans...... Interesting to see no sealing at all around the intercooler, guess it doesn't need it

The red rocket was a 964, this one is a 993. It has the sloped windscreen conversion and bizarrely keeps the sunroof. The dash holes are part of the new extended dash since it is wider to reach the edge of the new screen.

The intercooler looks like an EVO Secan with the intakes coming in the back but I think it is a custom Secan rather than an original Porsche MS (as Jean points out) I am told it has high 700s hp and longer top gear for 225mph top speed....

It had GT3 seats and rear cage, carbon doors.....

It is good to know that however crazy you think you may have gone on your car (in terms of $/time) there is always someone crazier

BTW it has red Porsche calipers so looks like it wasn't based on a turbo S...

Is the hood carbon fiber or fiber glass? Why does it look different, and flare up at the windshield line?

Awesome car, must be unbelievably quick with that kind of power! Intercooler looks the same as the Evo one doesn't it? Or am i missing something?






Shame the owner doesn't post on here, would love to see the performance figures

Very cool.

Just when I thought I was done with my 993TT, now we have thoughts of upgrading the GT3076 turbo's to Tial Alpha 3076's, and I could always blow some more dough on a Secan IC, and then....

Perhaps, it's an S with brakes swapped out to a Brembo steel clubsport setup?
