Clearly this is not a 996, but I thought that the 996 group might be interested in reading this:

saw that, very cool car. Curious what it puts down in the 1/4 mile.

I read somewhere that they spent $100k to develop the car... Someone really has something against spending their money in a brand new GT4 for some reason... Too much spare time in their hand I assume Nothing like a one off hot rod build ! The dream lives on !

Yup! It's more than a little ironic that after blowing up the original motor and being shocked at the cost to replace it, the guy goes and spends over 100k to mount a $14,000 crate motor...

Love it! Having taken some hot laps in a coyote-mustang, the motor felt great, had excellent usable power, decent top end, decent bottom end, and ran hard didn't miss a beat. Aside from some silly issues like mystery ticking and oil pump something failure at very high rpm, they're fairly easy to mod ($2400 gets you +60hp at 7500RPM) and good used coyotes are only $5k and all over the place. Plus, a bigger higher-torque motor is a lot more fun to drive on the street, easily powering over into fun slides at regular-world speeds.

If they could get a turnkey, everything-working, well put together cayman swap for $35k, sign me up.
