Default Anyone own and know much about WERKs1 package,,, I love this TURBO -link-

This has been on ebay many times..... I often bid roughly 100K for heck of it (knowing full well I am worlds away on $) just for fun. I keep coming back to this car....I have a none Turbo car 997 now and love modified cars. I am not the purist by any means. Anyone ever ride in a 997TT w/ 620hp? Anyone know much about this company selling this car etc? Seem to have a few others as well for sale....modified TT's with champion parts...Thanks

I would imagine several of us would be curious in how they managed to take a 480 hp engine to 620 hp by changing a few things. I would doubt the claims. There's a reason it is on eBay.

Not sure I believe in that, plenty of nice things bought and sold on fleabay these days. (junk as well, agreed) They seem to have a number of cars done with champion parts etc. and solid feedback from buyers etc.... curious if anyone is familar with the selling company. Thanks for the comment.

Default typical

such verbiage is attached to many car sales on fleabay...... not un heard of and easily dealt with...if bid was accepted on a 100K+++ item I would be on a flight that day to wrap up the deal in person....

I know some folks at Champion, and at another shop in south FL who can explain more about this package.

Email me for details/contacts. eric@bumperplugs.com

I think DrivingEmotions has had this one for a while, along with the two black ones as well. Champion does some pretty slick stuff. And the other tuner I know is very familiar with their product.

The rear diffuser looks out of place on a 997 Turbo.
