Love it, how is it to drive compared to a normal 911 ?

J4CKO its stunning to drive a Carrera AWD on steroids with a soulful sound track. As a TVR passenger friend once said this cars got soul .
The engine is lighter than the 3.6 that came out so to drive it feels no different. I will be very interested to see what the feature on the car says because it feels no different to me. The power delivery is awesome with instant low down performance and it pulls so well. The biggest thing is it feels like a factory built car and it drives so well that any one getting behind the wheel can't help but have a great big smile on there face at the performance and the awesome sound. Mine is quiet loud but that's my choice Dyno Torque do build quieter exhausts.

Thats good to hear, I love the whole idea, and I wish you the good health to enjoy it !

Drive me mad when people moan that its not right, I love the variety and interest of a different engine, suspect there will be more as various 911s break.

J4CKO Added more detail to your post. Totally agree Porsche owners can take it very personally that we have done this to a car. However things are changing and the interest level is getting very positive. I firmly believe the car does the talking its stunning to drive a Carrera AWD on steroids with a soulful sound track.

This is a top notch job! Anyone who can not see this for what it is are not a Petrolhead!!!! I have had Porsches for the last 30 years and understand that it is not to everybodies taste. What joe public does not realise that 996 and 997 where built to a budget ( not including the Mezger engines) and this has to be the way forward!!! I to had TVRs and they needed improving so why not Porsche

therevday thanks very much for your comments a lot of time and effort went into this build. Since mine was finished DynoTorque have built a Cayman LS3 and are currently building another 997 LS3 for a customer. Craig never seems to have any gaps in his build slots and is always very busy building cars for customers. All these cars are top notch jobs with very happy customers.
