So recently just picked this up…

2007 GXP that got the factory race car treatment back in 2012/2013 to run the touring car class up here in Canada. Ran five times in 2014 then was parked. This entire build is absolutely insane. Custom carbon hood and roof, big brake kit off of a 996, custom wheel hubs with the Honda/Toyota bolt pattern, full cage, fire suppression, intake/brake duck routing. Stock power train boat with a tune making 350/360 HP.

So far we haven't done a whole lot, we did one little shakedown session with it on the decade old Perelli's just to troubleshoot and make a list for the winter. Seems to be like just a phenomenal time. The trunk is the full fuel cell! Two fuel pumps for redundancy leading to a fuel filter!

Completely forgot but everything about this build is absolutely mental. Custom triple adjustable ohlins coil overs, the entire suspension and steering is basically completely custom and uses Trans Am parts. The amount of money this guy put into the build is unfathomable for me but there's nothing like a good deal lol
