986 with a 3.8L GT3 Engine

I think it's worth every dollar.

Why buy a 997 Turbo everyone else has when you can have something unique, and truly your own.

i'd be interested to know where the costs, issues, etc., were on this project. i'm thinking more gt3 than turbo engine, so I presume less space required.

also, a lot of guys seem to go through a lot of effort to match the metzger engine to the boxster transmission; would it not be easier to use a g96 transmission and reverse the final drive? fitment issues? modified engine and transmission mounts?

one issue is the location of the oil filter - is there any way to relocate it? otherwise you gotta cut the firewall.

otherwise, it should just be fueling and ecu issues, no? adapting these to a Metzger should be no different than some of the 996/997 conversions already happening.

Where do you live that everyone else has a 997 Turbo?

Sorry, let me rephrase. Matt Le Blanc sang the same tune when he was on Top Gear.

If any regular person can go out and buy a nice sports car, wouldn't it make sense that a petrolhead have that same car, but a little better? :P
