Hi Kaizu

Just thought I should clarify, the 6:40s is correct but it was done during a flying lap trying to beat the record, not during the 24 hours. During the 24 hours, he did have 7:30s as an average for a while, to put things into perspective to some, this is the fastest Walter Rohl was able to drive the CGT on the 'Ring.

Alzen's car had more than $500,000 of modifications, I believe the 4WD and traction control system alone were about 100k USD. Specially dedicated Bosch race engineers, KKK motorsports division engineers and RS Tuning among many others, spent months working on the car. I posted an article about the car a while back on this forum, I don't have it handy.

Yikes, that car is fast, 2:11 at Sebring is major fast. I'm gonna try and get to that 1:28 here in the next year or so. Anyone know if these times were done in PCA races? I want to know what kind of tire (looks like R6's)

Good to see fellow scandinavian here!

Good luck with the project, may the luck be with you :D

Cool project but a lot of work. I commend your effort and can't wait to see the final product.

subscribed, great project!

Amazing project my man!!! Subscribing to the thread....... if you ever encounter any trouble getting a handle on some parts or tuning we would be more then happy to try and help!! Keep up the great work, we are all glad to see that someone would tackle a project like this!

Great project!

I have plans to build a racecar of a 996tt myself, so this is a very interesting thread!

I am wondering if it would have been cheaper to buy a high mileage 996tt rather than this crashed version and spend time/money on repairs?

Me too, it looks like very much work ! Also the 996tt is half the price in Sweden compair too Norway !

Keep posting photos of the rebuilding.

Good luck with the rebuilding.

WOW, The car has come a long way in short time. Thats a dam shame, I love the Int colour on that car. Great work so far! I cant wait to see the finished product.

Awesome project! Best of luck with the build. Subscribed!

Are you staying with AWD, or converting to 2WD?

Great looking project.
