10 points to whoever finds a link to that Porsche body kit and links it first. :D

TechArt body styling for 997
TechArt makes body kits for pretty much all the Porsches. I'm sure there are others around, but I had work done on my A4 at CEC, so I've seen their work on Porsches at the shop.

I'm disappointed... no one found the one with a hood scoop yet. :)

Why would you need a hood scoop for an engine that is rear-mounted...? :confused:

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!

I don't doubt that if you had the money (Sultan of Brunei rich for instance) you can actually have Porsche/Ferrari or other exotic car maker design and build a car just for you.

It's been done (Ferrari 456 Venice).

Viper GTS

Among others (for the Sultan of Brunei).

And yeah, the official name of the Enzo is the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari. Redundant to say the least, but whatever.

SVSi makes a twin turbo mod for the Viper (as does Hennessey, but his isn't as good, power wise that is) that makes 1100bhp. Its about 900 at the wheels and like 1100lb/ft of torque at the wheels as well. I'm sure you've seen it, it has a pretty sweet looking American Flag/flam pain job.
