Cayman or 996?

Not sure what tipped the STOMPer off (or whether she's saboing a "friend"), but yes, the car is actually a Cayman according to the LTA website.

 

If the owner actually bodykitted a Cayman S into a 911, I'm wondering:

 

1) WHY?!!!

 

2) Why a 996 and not a 997 or even a 991?

 

3) The technical details, like engine placement.

 

If I see something like this, my logical supposition would be that they guy has a 996 and a Cayman, and just swapped plates for the fun of it. I can't conceive of anyone actually mangling a Cayman to make a pseudo-911, even though both models are beautiful in their own right.

If you think this is a goddamn awesome mod, wait till some guy turns his Cayenne into a 911.

Actually I think it's a goddamn awful mod.

 

As for someone turning a Cayenne into a 911, Hell has to reach 273.15K first.

Think this is a pure sabo case. Period.

I think the owner has lost more then fewer marbles. Just get a 911, why mod a Cayman S for?

I, too wonder who's going to buy this piece of mod sheet.

Exact sentiment.

i hope the stomper doesn't see that mitsuoka that's being shamelessly rebadged as a rolls-royce.

I'll say its a 996.

High chances of it being wrong since I can't even see the steering wheel.

seems like a 996.. look at the rear.

although it seems narrow, the opening hatch glass of the Cayman doesn't seem to be retained.

plus window pattern, slats, lights all match a 996 and the proportions don't seem off.

 

only a side view can really tell.

Oh, yes, the proportions match the 996 (I have one, so I can be sure). I don't have experience with the Cayman, but it seems almost impossible to get such a good match with just a kit.

 

Which is why I suspect shenanigans (like a plate swap, though why anyone would bother really escapes me).

In the last two weeks I have met so many goons so I'm not surprised that the 996 has no Road tax and the owner slap on the Cayman licence plates to go on the road.

Doesn't a bit surprise me, when a person without a valid license or suspended

License can still drive a vehicle, anything goes!
