Hi guys, been away on business so I weren't able to check this forum. thanks so much for everyones contributions...especially for that pic dani sent and the link inso gave me!

Why would you want to build one though? Its true they're fast, but they're also 930-types with an old-fashioned and laggy 500hp engine mated to a welded rear diff. If you can drive (i.e. power oversteer) a 500hp 930 fast you are macho to the fingertips. I've driven a BTR and they're more scary than fun actually.

I'd much rather look into building a retro look 964 like the PS Retro 300R. Now this is how a 911 should look - and they drive like something remotely recent
Acknot, its what the car represents more than its everyday drivabilty that hooked me, anyone with a little ruf knowledge must have seen that famous video of stephan roser pushing that car to the max to get a 8m15s around the nordschleife! I've got a porsche for everyday use (996 4S), so this is going to be the car I drive to get my adrenaline flowing, btw I've driven a 930 turbo with bigger turbo, 964 turbo and 993 turbo with 450bhp conversion...so handling the power is not going to be an issue and I love the turbo lag effect where all 469 horses hits you in one big "blow"!!!
