Post My new Protomotive 996TT

After many months of searching and debating over my next purchase, this opportunity fell in my lap. I was considering another 996TT, Gallardo, or a GTR and weighed the costs of their potential verses a properly modified 996TT. I just couldn't pass up this gem. The previous owner of this car sent it to Todd Knighton at Protomotive and asked him to build a car that he would personally think was THE best set up. Here are a few highlights of this 2001 996TT Protomotive 3.8L Monster with 19,500 miles. It makes 914RWHP at 1.55 bar.

3.8 liter full motor build with the following:
McKenzie heads
Pauter rods
Custom cams
GT3 cam synchs
ATS Triple Carbon clutch
300M axles
GT3 Eng Gasket kit
996tt head stud kit
Protomotive I/Cs
O-ringed heads
Niro Rings
Proto exhaust
Proto intake
Profec B EBC
75mm tb/plenum
Garrett 3582s
Brembo GT-R brakes and rotors
18" HRE C20s with R888's
Bilstein PSS9 Coliovers
997TT SSK
Car has factory Navigation and full carbon fiber
