Saw this 997 at a massive �cars and coffee� in NJ this morning. C4R? Ruf? Interior seemed stock. Thanks

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Looks like a modified 997 with some homemade badge engineering.
Like it says on the back - it's a CAR"

Its gotta be real, it says it here too!!
I wonder what the reasoning is. I am all for doing your own thing but sometimes I genuinely question what people are thinking. I use to work at a shop that did a lot of performance mods for German cars. We had a guy with a fairly pedestrian German car that dumped a ton of money into, like $20k. He had flames painted on the side of it and some other questionable stuff. He would always talk about how the dealer offered him $40k for a trade in on a car that retailed at $25k.
Homemade badge engineering is always odd to me. There was a guy over on 6speedonline.com who had a 996 with a custom turbocharger. He openly considered several different names for it, and ultimately decided to call it a GT4. I imagine he has reconsidered that since Porsche now sells a GT4 version of the Cayman.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
