This is defintely not for the tame at heart. One of the craziest 996 to 997 conversion I have ever seen. This is defintely a hit or miss with most enthusiasts. You have to appreciate all the work that went into the build though.

Very cool.
I wonder what the cost was?

I like it...and the "booth bunnies", too!

An old 996 for a new 997 Turbo money. Looks nice!

Love it.....Sick

How is the project coming along?

Chads996

Interesting. Way too much money for what it is, IMO. But...as I always say, each to their own.

Paul 996

The one bit I really like on this is the rear lower diffuser where the exhausts come out. That looks pretty cool imho.

Blackness

I can't see spending that kind of money making a 996 look like a tricked out 997. But, it does look well executed.

What is with the rear wheel offset?

Looks like my old 996's offset..........

Chads996

The one bit I do find interesting is the front hood. If it is actually vented and functional. I could see a use for that with downforce and a properly placed center radiator.

you got to ask why?

JBRipps

very true...why?? with that, I love the way it looks. At first, I wouldn't have ever thought it was a 996, until I saw the close up of the nose on the back of the flat bed. I was like....hmmm...those lines are so 996. Very interesting shape.

I think even Ben C. would have liked this.

I need to wash my eyes.

Looks like they put on an entire catalog cf bits. Looks like one of those boxter cgt plastic cars. Another car for the Top Gear Carbage collection.

Are those even real girls? Maybe they are fake like the car???
