Anyone know anything about this car?

I'm looking for a modded 996TT and came across this on autotrader. Anyone have any information on this car? It is currently located at a dealer in Miami.

Looks like protomotive Kit with a blow through MAF. Air filter isn't there (probably has dual intercooler filters).

Nice car. Suggest you get a PPI. I doubt their hp claims, but I would ask to see the list of 'mechanical' modifications.

The car does look great. Before I picked my car, I did inquire about this car. Here was the response that I got from Car Depot:

"Thank you for contact us. The car has 2 Garrett GT 35 R turbo, custom
stainless steel exhaust, H&R suspension, the company did the work is TD
Autoworks and the mechanic name is Damian. feel free to
contact Damian for questions about the car, and also to us for the deal."

Last time I checked going from 580 on Pump to 715 is only a 135hp jump, not 200hp as you stated. But yes with GT35's, this is VERY ascertainable jump between pump and race gas. The pump gas tune is probably only for 93 octane, which greatly hinders how much boost you can run without detonation. Whereas, the Race tune will be for c16 race fuel and he's probably hitting insane boost levels with that! So going from 580 to 715 isn't only very likely, but with bigger injectors, the difference may be even greater and closer to that 200hp difference that you originally stated.

Obbie1 is on a distinguished road
^^exactly. When going from 93 to a very nice fuel such as VP C16, the tuner could have easily given the car another 10-15psi more and then some. That along with the extra timing and ability to run leaner, 135whp more with twin 35r's is actually kinda low. IMO
