Yes if funny = looks fast as $h!t. No stigma of low cost but the intake does look too big.

How do you list a race car and not mention the engine size/hp/torque?

I like the wing though. I want to get one for my Accord.

Quite interesting. Not sure what to make of it...a 3.3L 930 motor perhaps? What is it....really a 996?

3.3L supercharged with intercooler no HP no weight and no list of wins or lap times times. Someone spent some time and $ building this thing. Good or bad?

$55k is most likely a bargain for that car. I'm sure it would cost 3 times that amount or more to reproduce from scratch. It looks like a real e-ticket ride. I wonder what class it would be elegible for with all those mods?

Is it just me or is it more like a 993 than a 996. Certainly interesting...

Most definitely. Why? Suspension described as 935 and 993, no radiators, looks like out of focus 993. Also, no one bid so still available.
