The GT3 has steel synchros and the all important dry sumped engine. I looked at several cup cars, but decided that cup cars require a tremendous amount of maintenance versus converting a street car into a race car.

I decided to hire Global Motorsports Group (GMG) to help with the build. They have experienced tremendous success racing Porsches in multiple series. I will document the build of this car from day one.

I hope you enjoy the documented build process.

Here is the car before tear down................
Do you have numbers for final weight? What was your target?
What did you do for a fuel cell?

I plan to strip my 997 C2 eventually and rebuild engine - are you going to run stock motor or get it re-done? If yes - do you have an estimate or a quote?

Went to the GMG open house over the weekend, what an awesome place. This project looks great, I can't wait to see the final product!

the cage definitely looks great, I cringe a bit looking at the interior getting torn apart but it's what it was meant to be doing
