Son with a 2007 911TT and wife with a Mini both had their cars outside at their house.

The mice got the wiring harness on the Mini, but left the TT. Go figure.

^ Interesting that the dealer just rolled it out to the parking lot without the engine in it.. at least they put the support brace back in before moving it..

Engine harness must be a long lead time item and they didn't want your car taking up a valuable lift

Looks so high with no weight back there. Are those 991 wheels?

Yes... 991 Turbo wheels. A little wider, so they fill the arches out.

Thats one way to reduce weight. Speed will definetly be sacrificed. Looks like they are doing in right.

I always wondered how these would look on the 997. Looking good!

Wow you have taken adding lightness to a whole new extreme. Did they cut out the floor pans so you can power the car like Fred Flinstone?
