What you're looking at
This is a 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 2S — the 997.1 generation, the rear-drive "S" with the 3.8-liter flat-six and a proper six-speed manual — that someone took well past stock. The engine was rebuilt at 95,000 miles by Chris's German Auto and breathes through an IPD 82mm plenum, an OEM GT3 throttle body, a Flat 6 Motorsport cold-air intake, and a custom center-exit exhaust on the factory headers and cats. Underneath sit JRZ RS Pro three-way coilovers with external reservoirs, GT3 adjustable front control arms, a CSF center radiator, and an LN Engineering oil-pan kit with x51-style baffles — the cooling and oiling insurance that says this car was built to see track time.
The look is full GT3-Cup cosplay, and it's thorough: a GT3 Cup front bumper, Vali Motorsports fender flares and canards, carbon-baseplate mirrors, a Getty Designs rear bumper and Cup wing. Inside there's a GMG cage, a Momo Montecarlo Alcantara wheel, and RS-style pull straps. Guards Red over black ties it together.
Why it matters
A 997.1 Carrera S is one of the smarter ways into a modern, analog-feeling 911 — naturally aspirated, hydraulically assisted steering, a real gearbox. Stock manual coupes trade around the high-$40s to mid-$50s. What you're getting here isn't a collector-grade original; it's a turnkey, heavily fettled track-day weapon that would cost far more than the car to assemble from a parts catalog. If a built, caged, widebody 997 you can drive hard is the dream, this is a shortcut to it. If you wanted a stock, low-mile "S" to baby, this isn't that car — and that's worth being clear-eyed about.
The fine print worth knowing
Entries run from June 1, 2026 to July 31, 2026 (Pacific), with the winner drawn on or about August 15, 2026. There's no dedicated "enter now" page — every $1 spent on thehuntandcompany.com earns one entry. Crucially, there's a free mail-in route: hand-print your details and the slogan "Porsche 997 C2S Giveaway" on an index card and mail it to the Escondido address (postmarked by July 31, received by August 5). The grand prize is the car or $55,000 cash — your call. Taxes are on you: Hunt & Co issues a 1099, may withhold ~30%, and the winner covers sales/use tax, registration, and insurance. The Porsche is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty.

Why It's Special
Not a rare factory variant — a standard 997.1 Carrera 2S built into a one-off GT3-Cup-style track car. The value is in the bespoke build (widebody aero, JRZ coilovers, caged interior, rebuilt 3.8), not factory provenance. Sold strictly as-is with no warranty.
Our value estimate
$55,000
Anchored to the sponsor's stated ARV / cash alternative of $55,000, consistent with stock-market comps. Classic.com puts the average 997.1 Carrera S manual coupe around $54,867 and the broader 997.1 Carrera S average near $47,400, with clean cars dipping below $50k past ~60k miles (2025). This is an extensively modified GT3-Cup-style track build — heavy modification and a caged, track-prepped config typically don't return dollar-for-dollar at resale and narrow the buyer pool, so I did not mark above the $55k ARV despite the parts investment. For reference, 997.1 GT3 Cup race cars average ~$87.7k (Classic.com), but those are purpose-built racers, not comparable. Treat $55,000 as an editorial estimate / the sponsor's ARV.
