Speaking of shortsighted opinions "bone stock" meaning unmodified which it sounds like this engine is regardless of it's current location.

I do believe the 3.6 is a stock engine

I like the aerokit on it. I wouldn't mind seeing some more pics! Nice find at a nice price. Congrats!

My apologies, I took what Charles was saying as they only took the car and slapped some bodykit on it and other odds and ends and did nothing performance wise from the base car it started as.

front and side skirts are factory GT3 not sure of the rear spoiler and bumper diffuser origins.

The rear wing is the aerokit II wing. The diffusers would be an aftermarket add-on.

Charles is, in fact, correct. All they did was bolt on some cosmetic bits and put in a larger M96 for a bit more power. But it is still a stock M96 with a stock sealed IMS bearing that can fail with catastrophic results……………… Other Porsche tuners (like Ruf) go through an engine and upgrade many internal parts before it goes in one of their cars…………….

I understand, what I originally though he was referring to is that the 3.6L was stock in the car. I misinterpreted what he said, and I was replying on the basis of a 3.6L was not stock in the car.
