No thats a great question. Well i have done a ton of mods when it was just a 996 and being bored(retired) I just wanted to see if it was possibble to convrt to 997 with oem parts. After talking with a ton of shops none said it could be done so i challenged myself to build it. The development cost were high enough that I could have easliy purchased a new car but then i would have just another prosche in a sea of porsches. Here I've had the pleasure of building a car that I know everything about. It drives wonderful and sporting, has a great look and is a testment to the human will power of change. I dont believe its cost effetive for everyone thou, but if your looking to know everything about a porsche 911 the education and time you cannot place a price tag on. In the end product I think I've build a nice car which s a statement into it's self, yes pricy but my motto is" If you put more money in a car then it cost when new your not doing more then what the first buyer did." I dont plan on saling this car but giving it up for auction to benefit the research on my diease once completed.

Fuel&fire

I have a set of cts-v racer lower control arms and cross drilled rotor/pads if you need them, just pay shipping and what ever you think if your interested, not wanting what i paid just whatever like to see someone get use out of them. I have a 2005 cts-v and never installed the parts just sitting in my garage. Oh its a street/ track car and white is a good color.

In that case a Cup Car wing would be a nice addition.
