Exactly why the aerokit is only for 997 coupes.
Take my c4 cab...no wing would work on the car to come close to the gt3 esp. since the aerokit wing won't fly for the cab. Also, the widebody of the c4 would make the sideskirts/rear wing look asymmettrical.... Agreed a GT3 cab might be a far stretch but how does one achieve this look with a 997 c 4 cab?

BTW, 10 years ago I bet people would of thought of a turbo cab in the future, only because Porsche had already done it 10 years before

Michelle from Cargraphic has the "low" GT3 wing replica on her 996 cab, I think from an aesthetic standpoint it just barely works. I tried searching for some pics, but the search feature isn't complying.
What Porsche should really do is bring back the Speedster on the widebody cab platform + GT3 drivetrain (If it did happen, I think we'd most likely see it with the standard Carrera engine for economic purposes) with a clamshell and a spartan interior with minimal options......Dr Bill, you'd buy 2 of them, wouldn't you?
