BlackHorseTurbo is BACK and better than ever!!
I'd like to introduce you to BlackHorseTurbo 3.8.
After many months of searching and debating over my next purchase, this opportunity fell in my lap. I was considering another 996TT, Gallardo, or a GTR and weighed the costs of their potential verses a properly modified 996TT. I just couldn't pass up this gem. The previous owner of this car sent it to Todd Knighton at Protomotive and asked him to build a car that he would personally think was THE best set up. Here are a few highlights of this Protomotive 3.8L Monster.
3.8 liter full motor build
McKenzie heads
Pauter rods
Custom cams
GT3 cam synchs
ATS Triple Carbon clutch
300M axle
GT3 Eng Gasket kit
996tt head stud kit
Proto I/Cs
O-ringed heads
Niro Rings
Proto exhaust
Proto intake
Profec B EBC
75mm tb/plenum
Garrett 3582s
Brembo GTR brakes
18" HRE C20s with brand new tires
Bilstein PSS9
997TT SSK
Car has factory Navigation and full carbon fiber
Working with Peter and getting my car to Texas was as GOOD as it gets. He is a great guy and even washed and waxed her before she was loaded. What do ya know? Even tire kickers actually buy cars.
I expect delivery mid next week. Stay Tuned.

Congrats bro! A very special car is headed your way. The build is top notch and he took amazing care of the car.
I know you've been looking for awhile and the deal on this car was too good to pass up. Actually had a quick conversation with the wife about it before divorce was threatened. LOL.
Enjoy the beast. Don't forget the pedal on the left is not to just rest your foot.
