My old man had one identical in yellow, with around 400 horses from what I remember.

Just came back from QLD so could of dug them up from mums house, they are circa 2001/2 off top of my head.

Cliffs as I don't know the full story of the car by what I can remember;

- legit yellow from memory, matching number 930 from Victoria. Potentially been imported, have to ask the old man.
- had big coin dumped on it, motor/brakes/gearbag/wheels/chassis strengthening/suspension. Believe had been heading for track but owner pulled pin before cage and made it as street friendly as possible, even retained ducting for brake cooling.
- original interior
- I'm no expert but believe retained the 4spd as 5spd would of exploded due to HP???
- ran 2.1 bar boost

Funny story about it it went like the clappers as it was, then went to T&D for a look over and they found the carpet when put back in had bunched up around throttle stop and wasn't getting 100% throttle. Then it really was a scary ride.

Finally got my one home in the shed and spent an hour or so on it this afternoon.

These things are incredibly simple really.

Im generally a 911 tragic but reading the other thread about Gallardos got me thinking, what would you blokes choose if you had $150k to spend...beetle or Gallardo? Id still struggle to go past a 997 GT3.

Its a tricky proposition... If it was a genuine idle $150k to throw down, I'd want to make sure it was something I was going to get some use out of over the next few years, which probably means making it wife proof and child seat friendly... which probably means I'm getting the best porsche I can that has a back seat...

If it had to be spent on a single car that was purely a toy for myself, I'd drive everything I could in that pricerange, whittle my shortlist down to two cars, and then of those two cars I'd work out which one Turtle from Entourage would be most likely to drive, and I'd get the other one.

And I'm pretty sure Turtle has been Lamborghinis target market for the last 5-10 years... so looks like I'm in the beetle

Here's the alleged 991 GT3 RS



Theorized notes:

458 style guard arch vents.
Revised roofline to make room for helmets on track.
Big rear wing AND a ducktail lip.
Seats similar to the 918 Spyder.

personally I dont think that versin of the front guard vents will make the final cut but porsche do get a little more radical from an aesthetic point of view (even though they're obviously functional) as time goes by

[Shitbreak]

Guard vents look fucking nuts, but as spiller said, I'd be surprised if they make production.

Can anyone explain to me what the reasoning is behind the square/flat edge on the sides of the front guard (where it ends right over the wheels)? I see this all the time in modern cars. Is it a result of a certain manufacturing process? Some cars have it more than others. Its ugly as all fuck.

Possibly to create more rigidity in the panel whilst using less material, thus cheaper to manufacture, lighter etc etc.? I dont mind it, makes the lines look more dramatic from some angles.

[Uncle]

Porsche have been doing that flat edge on the guards since the early 70's AFAIK. Maybe before,I'm not a long hood nerd so maybe longer. I'd very much agree it's to add strength to a curve as the wider the rear arch the bigger the flat edge on the lip it would seem.

You can see it here on my old car.


Here it is again on a M491 option G series 911.


Kev's old 964.



Jim's G series 911.
