so if i mount a a 997 front end conversion so the lights are round i can sell the car as a 997 gt2, nice to know that..

It's not anytning els then a 996 turbo with a body kit and a X50 engien....

Actually, you can buy it. I believe GMG has several Cup Cars for sale, or they can build you one. However, probably not as fun as doing it yourself. Can't wait to see the finished car.

Nobody said anything about claiming it to be a 997 GT2. I think you will find it has a little more than just a body kit and an X50 engine!

Yes it's a nice car but it's not a 997 gt2 that someone think it is....It's a 996 turbo and alot of more parts but it has nothing to do with the 996 gt2 or 997 gt2 to do

It's a race car guys so does it really matter if it's a true GT2 or not? Ambitious project with some exotic parts as well. Thanks for posting the pictures.

**** Dudes - lets appreciate this thread for what it offer (WHICH IS A LOT!) and not get caught up in what badge is appropriately being placed on the car. It's obviously full race - very cool!
