Went to our first Autocross of the season. Just a practice. One of the project cars that made its first appearance. A boxter with a GT3 motor, straight pipes and a mad man behind the wheel bouncing off the limiter, and loud!! Great times in the rain- standing water most of the track. GT3 did fine. A cone took out a 2010 turbo radiator. Poor guy.

No videos of the Box-3?!?! Shame on you hah jk, would love to hear and see that thing in actioN!!

mooty

Pictures???Video, had No idea it was going to be there. It will be sick in the dry. It looks like a Boxter. total sleeper until he fires it up. Not a street legal car. I will get a video next outing. You National AXers know him.

mooty

ah......
i want one.....
who build it?
cantrell?
rothsport?

Gregg Fordahl- He will be busy with ALMS since Alex Jobs is back. I did not ask but would expect to see a couple people driving it in Kansas later in the year. It is a fuc*ing rocket. John- you would like it.... like it a lot.

GT3

Damn....Boxter with GT3 motor More info please....

mooty

which boxster chassis?
986 or 987?

roberga

I will go to the shop Monday and get a download of info.

996FLT6

Is the 1st 996 compared to 1st 986 boxster pretty much share the same from
doors to front bodywise? Wouldn't it be easier to build a c4 chassis 996 probably a convertible version with a gt3 motor and then modify with a boxster rear to fit? Or
I'm smoking crack? Seems with a boxster chassis u need to cut alot of firewall to make
it fit. Mike ps- back to drinking beer and watching the winter olympics. Mike

I would love a Cayman with that build, MMMMMM!

My bust. I met with the owner: the car is a 3.8 997S motor. Still a sick machine. Makes sense since it is a autocross car not track so the sump is not an issue.

NJ-GT

GrandAm has been running M97 engines for many years. Accusump, race oil pan. A 997S engine is 40% the price of a GT3 engine, it has more torque and it is lighter, this is the right engine for autoX.

Building a GT3 powered Boxster/Cayman is a $75k+ project + a donor car. Pretty hard to justify.

^Rad, I am sure you will see the car in Kansas. I will get a video next month at the next AX.
