The "new to me" Flying Lizard Built, PMNA upgraded 2004 996 Cup Car! Well, about 3 weeks ago I took the plunge and went for what is by far the fastest thing around a track I will have been in. I competed in the koni challenge in GS for a splitsecond and got to see just how amazing the cup cars were that were in GT and ever since then have been addicted. Well, now that I want to go compete in GT, I figured I needed to move to something more that speed and found this absolute BEAST available for sale... Hopefully after a year of practice and getting to know eachother, Ill put down some times and get my sponsors together and go back in. (FWIW, this thing apparently put down a 1:55 at vir by an older non-pro gentleman, so this thing has some SERIOUS speed in it 
What do I find out about this car...oh, it has triple adjustable ohlins suspension, weighs 2585 lbs, has a nearly all carbon body, performance friction brakes (gave me sticker shock to look at the cost of those stoppers...)supercup gearbox (so top track speed of around 175)...and a DYNAMO of an engine...a 457 DYNOED hp PMNA upgraded engine with redline at 8800 rpm.
Car has a ton of cool tricks inside as it turns out the Flying Lizards built it (apparently the current crew chief oversaw the project) and competed in the 2004-5 and 6 Daytona 24 hrs (pre the engine upgrade) and actually sat on pole for gt in one of the latter years.
Without further adieu...
AND WHERE IT ALL GOES DOWN...(you can check out the adjustable sways right next to the drivers seat too)
