I'm wondering where you read that he paid twice as much as a new GT3. I know he said it was more than a new one, but I didn't see the "twice as much" part. However, I'm sure a major chunk of the cost was in the body mods he did. The rear was widened to fit 11" rims with 295 30/19 tires, the side scoops were totally reworked, and he had a yacht company in the UK build him a custom CF hood. On top of all that, the car he started with was a 97-99 2.5. I'm thinking it could be done just as well for substantially less than the cost of a 997 GT3.
