Question Looking for information about a car... pics inside.

Anybody know anything about this car? I found it on this website http://membres.lycos.fr/viensurlautoroute/ but it's in a different language and well, I suck at different languages. The BMW I've already managed to gather information about, but I'm looking for information on the Porsche now...

Anybody?

I am not sure what you want to know about it, but I will share what I feel is the obvious.
It is a 996TT outfitted with Gemballa parts. I see a front bumper cover, lower splitter, carbon fiber hood, wing//deck lid, rear bumper mods, widened front fenders, widened rear quarter panels and rocker panels.
It has a Gemballa top mounted intercooler, Gemballa exhaust and if the stickers are indicative of the internals, 650 hp. The interior has many Gemballa components as well.
The widened rear quarter panels are a $27K option done only through Gemballa. They will not sell the bodykit to users to insure control of quality of installation. I must say I love that damn hood!! The front bumper cover is pretty nice as well.
Any other questions?
Oh, by the way, I love the exterior!

The seats are Recaro Pole Positions covered in Porsche leather by Gemballa. THe Pole Position seats are almost the same as the GT3 seats except the headrest area is different. Both the PP and GT3 seats are made by Recaro.

Many thanks... that's the info I was looking for. I'm not too up to speed on Porsche parts, but that answers my questions. I was just curious if the 650 indicated 650HP.

Kevin where is that?!?!?!?
International... I found it when I was browsing the web. Apparently it's on the website with that girl that owns the Twin Turbo M3. Yes... a girl owns that 630PS ( )Twin Turbo M3.

BTW-I am still burning oil, gunna need some in a bit
Let me know...

So are the rear fenders - those are custom Gemballa air intake not standard 996TT!!
Also, if any of you have the latest November Excellence, check out page 3!!

Here are some additional pictures of this car. The hood is carbon fiber, the front bumper is fiberglass and kevlar, the front widened fenders are galvanized steel, the rear quarter panels are steel overlays that get welded on, the rockers are fiberglass.

Anyone know how much the whole 650HP engine kit is??
I am interested in getting parts of the kit including: additional fuel pump, air intake pipes, carbon pressure pipes, connecting pipes and headers....

Do you still have the white M3? If so, did you ever put the AA turbo on it?

Cheers.
Sold it to get the new E46 M3. I was sad to see it go until I picked up the new car.
