If one was to take a stock 911 tub, what else would be required other then roll cage to make the tub GT3 cup compliant?

Anybody know an approx. cost of these goodies?

Also, is the 996 911 turbo tub wider then a 996 gt3 cup tub? If so, would the turbo tub take a wider set of wheels then a gt3 cup? perhaps gt3 r wheels?

A stock 911 tub will NOT accept the GT3 drivetrain...will need to be turbo or GT3 street tub..

Aside from the doors I think you will have a hard time finding some of the other stuff used. Why not just buy and 01-03 car and sell the engine. I think Rick Deman has a Synergy car that fits what you might need, or you can buy my 04 with a fresh motor,tranny etc for 95K. Not sure what kind of money you would get for the motor and transmission but Im guessing high 20K+

interesting how a stock 911 tub wont accept a gt3 drivetrain..... i did not know, and the fact that a turbo body probably can is pretty neat.

thanks for the tip.

The reason i asked was that if cant find a gt3 cup tub to convert to rally specs, i considered useing a 2001 turbo street car and adding the gt3 doors, hood,suspension, oakley design cage and cup wheels....
for rallying the all wheel drive on wet pavement would be great. although i really want a gt3 cup so i can DE and track event it when im not rallying.

id rather have a cup in five years time then a conveted street car. but im pondering both.

thanks agian for the advice guys

Im told that Mantisport set up alot of older porsches for paved road rallys and also including their caymen s racer.

Now, i know a couple of shops in europe do as well especially for the gt3 cup.

So im sure something can be done.

Do a search on youtube for gt3 cup or gt3 rally and watch the cup cars going flat out in paved rallys through little town streets! awesome!
