Bunch of slackers- nobody else noticed the 996 shifter and Cup shift cables?

And that is not the same Clubsport cage that I know? What is the deal here?

LOL...looks like they got the weather stripping for the doors at Home Depot.

OK so now we know the inside is gutted, light weight doors and so forth. Anyone look in the wheels wells and see what is going on with the suspension?

Looks to be the two door bar front section instead of just the one door bar like in the past.

Is it just me or do those tips on the exhaust look different from the OEM's also? Are the OEM's polished? those look a little more "raw"

WOW! That's amazing. Those speakers must have really small cones and magnets!

Is that per door or total?

Keen eye! The shifter and cables are 996 CUP!

The front cage has had a custom door bar section welded in.
I would say that either Porsche Motorsports could not source the 997.2 front cage in time and used the 997.1 section instead OR with the CUP doors they decided to have something stronger for side impact and thus modified the front half.

It was funny to see this as i also had to use some sort of weather strip for the CUP doors on street body. It is the only way to seal the door to the body.

OK then, if they "removed" about 150 pounds (75 x 2) from the car, forward of the engine, how do they balance it out a little? Considering the 911 is already *** heavy. Thanks.

It is way more fun not to list all the modifications and allow us to discover them

The Porsche Motorsport staff is probably enjoying our banter while drinking beer

Anyway this is a "one off" car and only 133 street versions available, not many will modify this car in the near future.
