739 RWHP! 965

I wish I could have rescued that car and changed its color the Zuffenhaus way...
Maybe full RSR carpeting in black and some sparcos-

Would have taken quite a bit of effort - the whole thing was purple - dsashboard and all.

I would have left it purple and said **** You, I have a purple car and I'm gonna kick your ass on the track.

Hahaha- you are right on that one, nobody was trying to hide their preferences when specing this car out.

I would have done her in any other color: Black, white, blue, red, green, silver, primer, rust, baby$hit brown, yellow, candy apple, just anything but purple.

.....And a carbon fiber dashboard...

But so long as an eggplant Porsche doesn't bug you, this could be pretty amazing.[/QUOTE] .................................................. .............. That color is not the Porsche eggplant ( aubergine) but something made up by someone that has taken " artistic license " to call it eggplant on a Porsche. See photo's of my Aubergine ( eggplant ) 1977 930. No offence taken as it is a favorite car of many Porsche enthustiasts at the Road America events @ Elkhart Lake over the 8 years I've owned it. Lots of neat stuff, hot rodded when near new , like aluminum body parts, Ruf short 5 speed, Andial built 7200 RPM redline 3.4 TP motor, ( with all of the period dreaded Andial enrichment devices) big brakes etc etc. But with the 734 HP of the other one, you can paint it any color you want.

Ill drive that anytime !!

Now that is tasteful.

Crimson ghost, Reaper930, Thanks for the Kudos. I have had many 930's over the years and this is one of my favorites. Aubergine is a good color for the way it has been upgraded. It is a smooth well balanced 930 for all around use.

Mechanincly that car sounds like a blast with the 5 speed and the aluminum bits

Sale on Barrett Jackson - Rennlist Discussion Forums

[DDDD]

Who knows the condition of this car by now? The price is finally agreeable anyway.

I know I'm quoting a 3 year old post... but damn that seems lean at 5,000 rpms if it's running close to a bar of boost!

If it's perfectly balanced on all 6 cylinders, then maybe 12.2 isn't sailing too close to the wind. (It's proper EFI and not CIS, after all.)

Still.. When you're chucking out 900HP, you're probably going to have to rebuild your engine every so often.

This car uses 993 heat exchangers, interesting FWTW

The stack of receipts included MANY repeat trips back to a shop for endless tweaking...good luck, get yer own mechanic for this pup!
