Driving home today on 85 (south) and I spot one of these

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) heading north. WTF?!?!? I must admit I swerved quite a bit while rubbernecking to get a better look. Anyone know whose it is?

Bad ass!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

There is a company currently making tube frame 911 6-cylinder powered 917 replicas that are much closer to the real thing than those horrible old VW based kit cars. Maybe it was one of those. Sorry, but I don't have the specifics on the current replicas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
