If you were going to buy a 911 (any) and make it non-standard, what would you do to it and why? No strict criteria except that it has something you could see yourself doing in principle if you had a wacky moment and some cash burning a hole in your bank account. But it has to be reasonably realistic, you can't say you want to buy a 60s 911 then put a 991 GT3 engine in it.

One of my ideas would be to created a 996 C2S with attitude that was still primarily a road car but would be good on track. I love the look of them and the interiors have finished aging I think

996 C4S with no satnav
+
3.9 Autofarm conversion for ~380bhp
+
deletion of front wheel drive gubbins for weight saving
+
Carnewal GT Exhaust
+
Bilstein B8s with M030 kit (think C4Ss might already come with M030 springs/a-roll bars etc?)
would think about PSS10s but they might be overkill
+
Brembo big brake kit
+
Switch to hollowspoke Turbo wheels
+
Center Gravity setup

That's all I can think of for now hehe

Well screw you then, I'm taking my ball home and not playing *walks off in a huff* biggrin

Perfect 911 for me would be a Singer 911 body and interior on a 997 GT3 chassis cloud9

996 Turbo
Converted to GT2 look
All the aggressive looks but drivable and practicality, if like me you have kids
Get it breathed on by DMS and few other trick bits

Call me a criminal if you will but for me, 964 RS with a backdate to 2.7 RS Carrera bodywork and interior. Possibly my perfect car for looks, based on one of the best cars I ever had the pleasure to drive (but sadly not to own).

A bit cliche but pretty much the Singer look...perhaps slightly less wide rear wheels and arches, with a fixed ducktail rather than a powered spoiler. Switchable exhaust and that would do. Pretty much my idea of automotive perfection.

A proper track rat 997.1 GT3 with bits falling off, but with a Sharkwerkes 4.1 conversion, Cup car bits and some proper suspension.

964 C2 narrow body with a twin-turbo 3.8, liquid charge cooler (to retain the classic C2 silhouette), Guard LSD & six-speed 993 gearbox.
