Anyone out there know if it's possible to convert a 996 cup car to a street legal car? What would you need to do and how much $ are we talking? 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.

Anything is possible. It won't be cheap! A Cup car has very little in the way of what is required for every day street use. I think it would be a terrible street car as well. Generally speaking brakes, tires, gearing, and suspension on a race car work very poorly on the street. Also race motors are not happy in stop and go traffic, nor are race clutches. Possibly cheaper to convert a stock car to the likes of a Cup car and retaining everything necessary to keep it street legal.

I have a Koni\Grand Am Cup car that could be converted to street. What to trade?

Money can do a lot, but my understanding is that factory cup cars have a VIN that cannot be registered for the street. The VIN will cause the DMV's computer to do the equivalent of "TILT".

Ask again on the cup car forum, they would know for sure.
