...or for other guys who frown on these conversions. This car was professionally built by a Porsche tuner but even the parts costs were in the 6 figures.

JP,
Yes, in retrospect he could have bought a much better and highly engineered car (I quoted 50%) for his money.  Basically the story is he's a successful guy who has a friendly rivalry.....

Don't misunderstand, I'd love to have the time & money to build something like that......but I'd start with a clean sheet of paper.

If this is what you get with 200k with an existing chassis, in my estimation expect to pay 7 figures in R & D for a clean sheet design.

What's interesting is this tuner sponsor's a race Ultima. My guess is when someone comes to you with an open checkbook and an idea you try to accomodate them...
