Default Had a drive in a RHD 993TT Cabriolet yesterday

Hi Guys
I'm still lurking and reading the posts.

I had a gentlemen drop buy my house yesterday with what appeared to be a lowered 993 Cab fitted with Turbo wheels with two twin exhausts that had a bit of a familiar burble to it but a bit quieter.

Anyway to cut a long story short, it had a twin turbo TTP conversion to 480bhp hidden effectively in the rear bumper with a liquid intercooler in the nose of the front end. Anyway I got to drive it and boy was the gear shifts very smooth sand the power delivery even smoother with no lag and all the way upto 7500rpm (I think) was watching the road. I have to say I was well impressed and quite surprised to find it on std 265 tyres..

Has any one heard or seen this car before? pictures below

I would love to hear how to achieve those numbers without spending +50K$ ...

What a great experience you had in that beast!

Well the spec sheet says 315kph or just shy of 200mph, though I dont think thats possible in a cabriolet!!!!

Well regarding cost that I cant answer but the use the 993 engine and everything looks pretty standard except for the add ons!

So has no one heard of this car before!?
