My BBI GT2 Build
I will have more pics when complete but wanted to post the current status. BBi is doing the build and it is nearing completion.

I was surprised that you posted a picture of your credit card, but then it made sense because it must be getting a workout. Then I realized it was an ad, haha.
That suspension is wild. What advantages does it have exactly over the multilink and what software was used to model its kinematics? I hope it's pretty quiet but could imagine it being noisy inside the car.

+1. Would love to know more details. Wider tires and easier+more suspension adjustability? How much weight does it add?

Wow. That suspension really is impressive. 
Newport, what are you guys trying to achieve with the pushrod suspension? Nearly every advantage to a pushrod suspension that I can think of is not applicable here - except maybe longer damper travel for more precise control. Please explain!
What I personally find extremely interesting is the use of 997 GT3/2 front uprights. I am looking at doing this conversion myself. Is the use of 996 stub axles / ABS sensors not an issue?
Please post more as things progress!

Thanks guys. I will respond in more detail about the build shortly but, a major benefit to the inboard setup in highly improved resolution of the suspension using dramatically improved motion ratios. Think of each wheel inch of travel being the equivalent to the damper seeing 2x the travel distance therefore greater damper tuning etc.
