All he needs to do to finish the job is a C4 chasis, GT1 bottom end, GT3 top end, yank the rear seats, remove the Nav system, change the seats, lighten the car, ditch the spare tire.....

Another $50k and he should have himself a GT3.

Very nice car though. If I was shopping for a Carrera I'd jump on it.

I could be wrong, but I wasn't aware that there was either a GT3 or Carrera S available in the U.S. in 2003???

380hp from the "special designed exhaust system"?

I think not.

I respectfuly disagree with you. Don't you know that this system was custom designed by Royal Muffler?

You are right. In US, 996 GT3 was only available in 2004 and 2005. And there was no 996 Carrera S either. Carrera 4S was available from 02-04 but that's the wide body.
