996/GT3 race car build
I searched all over the country to locate a low mile, clean, well taken care of 996 GT3. I chose to build a full race car out of a 2004 996/GT3. The GT3 has steel synchros and the all important dry sumped engine. I looked at several cup cars, but decided that cup cars require a tremendous amount of maintenance versus converting a street car into a race car.
I decided to hire Global Motorsports Group (GMG) to help with the build. They have experienced tremendous success racing Porsches in multiple series. I will document the build of this car from day one.
I hope you enjoy the documented build process.
Here is the car before tear down................

This cage is an EXACT replica of a Porsche GT3 Cup car. Except, I have modified the driver side doors bars for safety, and I have attached the cage to the front shock towers. Other than that, the cage is EXACTLY as a Cup Car cage comes from the Porsche factory.

It will have carbon doors, lexan windows and carbon decklid and wing.
With lightweight wheels, it should weight in around 2800
with a 1/4 tank of fuel.
