Default Class 1 Tow Hitch for 996

Anyone know if they're out there? I keep comming across the occasional pic of a 911 towing something and am wondering where these people get their stuff from.

There was a FS thread https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale-ads-member-to-member-fs-wtb-free/697657-sold-f-s-willwood-hidden-hitch-system.html a few days ago, but it has been sold and pix taken down, the thread it refers to is https://rennlist.com/forums/996-gt2-...ood-hitch.html which may be helpful.

Considering it. Mazda2 goes back soon and don't think i'll buy another beater for a bit. Doing the math right now between doing this and just paying my friend who has a race shop to handle all my bike race logistics for me.

It's almost worth it just for the sheer awesomeness of seeing a 996 towing a gsxr down yonge st.

Well... there's a hitch for the 997 and Boxter apparently.

This won't be of any help, but here's a free bump I guess.

For what it's worth, I think using a Pcar to tow light loads (correctly) is cool. It's unexpected, and you're getting even more $$ worth of utility out of the car.

A lot of people tow tire trailers for track and autocross, it's not at all uncommon to see Porsche, Corvettes, S2000s and miatas with small trailers at autosports events.
