I saw a TV show maybe 9 years ago where there was a Carrera GT kit put onto a Boxster. Looked good on TV, but you could see flaws also.
At Rennsport reunion IV in Montery I talked to Beck's son. They had a running 904 replica & said M96 engine was a option.
BBI/IPD is working on a 550 spyder replica with 500+HP potential from a Porsche engine. I realize I'm not directly addressing your OP, but it's closer than most posts here.

no idea what body to use, however. most kits are recreations of some sort, and the kits that try to create something new tend to look god-awful or way dated. something that riffed on a dino 246 theme would really work for me. I was thinking of a 904 body (keep it Porsche) Ginetta G12 body (lotus elise with torque) or perhaps a jag xk13 body, but the jury is still out for me.
crazy?
