Anyone fancy a 996 Techart GT Street XL...

[Erik997]

I drive past Straight Eight every day on my way to work and they usually have some very nice exotica in the showroom. This morning noticed they're selling a 996 Techart GT Street XL (bit of a mouthful...!). Never seen one before.

Apparently based on a 996 with widebody conversion and 525bhp (0-62mph claimed in 3.8s). Only done just under 7k miles and on for just short of £90k (seems expensive...).

Not my cup of tea but something a bit special for someone as I doubt there's many in the UK.

I like the sound of the spec, but the car is a litle bling for my taste. They should have gone the whole hog and amde it purple.... ;-)

the spec sounds really good, but im not keen on the rear bumper or side skirts, the front bumper is alright but i wouldnt have one.

Wanna go halfers on it??

[gumballer]

just to pike it up, how about 10ths on it 35 days a year for 9k

I like it.....funny that!

Don't think the interior matches the exterior, needs bucket seats. But I have seen one at a dealership and if you need the extra space (ie no rollcage and rear seats) it is a good compromise!
