Why is this car so cheap?
It's an oddity...it's not a 914, it's not a 911....due to the way it was built, it would be hard to place it in some racing orgs....

different and I bet a blast to drive....I couldn't afford to replace those tires

Damn you for posting this!
Think I can pull it off without the divorce, but will cost me a hell of a lot more than $55K

Nope... not today

Why do they call it a 996 ? Nothing on the car remotely is close to 996 ?
It isnt legal in SCCA for anything but SP class (which is a non points class basically)
Cool car.

You can race that car in PCA GTP class, I was just at the roebling road club race and a fabcar 911 was running, it did very well, third overall I think.

Not unless it has a log book dating back to 1996.

You can spank ricers with just about anything that has more torque then an impact wrench. They just put it in drive, hit the gas, and wait for turbo. If you get them off the line, then back off and act like you've already won. Then if they bitch, challenge them to the twisties in your 914!

I emailed the seller about some pics of the engine bay. I got 6 pictures, huge resolution, so these are shrunk pretty good. If anyone wants the high res, i can zip and email.

pretty cool, it has a 993 rear subframe, but CIS? and what looks like a reworked 930 intercooler
With CIS you run out of fuel at about 475hp..

Really must stop looking at this thing. It's working like Viagra! Buy this and a salvage 74 for the VIN. Sell the race motor, put in a stock 3.6 and enough street stuff to get it thru DMV as a rebuild.

Please, someone tell me that they are 'kinda' interested in buying the "996" so I have an excuse to check it out!
If the car is actually located in Dunedin, it's minutes from my place!
