A Well-Set-Up 944
 

:eek::eek::eek:

I'd like to see the $$$ figure. That is an insanely nice 951....

I have a friend who has a 944 with all lexan windows, kevlar hood and deck lid, an LS-6 engine, he just put bigger valves and springs in the heads and had the pistons cut to accept the bigger valves. He told me he's getting 400+ HP at the rear wheels. I think he put some 6 piston Brembo brakes on it. I need to find more out about it. I know he kicks some serious butt at Willow Springs. I'll take some pics the next time I see him.

Thats a sweet looking car!

Nice!

That certainly is well set-up. Beautiful car.

If you have to ask....:rolleyes:

Unless it has Batmobile wings and a faux jet engine exhaust, I wouldn't be braggin' too much... ;)

Wow. That's just plain sweet. I love it. Do you have a video online of it's engine sound? I'd really like to hear it!

Front window defroster?

Gorgeous car, great build.

I think he has more money in Motec gear than I have in my whole car

This one always impresses me in red group (POC).

Way to go, Paul. Spreading the hate whenever and wherever possible, huh?

Simply a fantastic build. I bet the total dollar figure would be scary.

Glad to know he doesn't troll OT exclusively.

Haha! He only has three hobbies, talking about pool, talking about Mustangs, and trolling here. I hope I have more going for me when I retire. :D

That 944 that Flieger posted a link to is damn impressive. That red one is pretty nice, too.

I think Paul is just a little jealous because he doesn't have the mechanical ability to wind his own watch.

He used to complain about how far he had to drive to the Porsche dealer to have his classic 911 serviced. Shameful.

Correction: I drove to Rothsport. Big difference. I'd do the routine stuff...fluid changes, etc. But when it came to redoing the suspension? You betcherass I wrote the check to the former crew chief of Job racing. I figured he might just know a bit more about it than the "experts" here. As far as Hate? On the Bullitt board, I said the same thing about a $$$$$ drag race set up car that turns 10.3...the owner laughed, understanding the humor intended.

So guys, when it comes to "hate"? Some of ya better look in the mirror.

There was a super nice 300HP black 951 up for a raffle a few years back... would love to have got my hands on that ride.

I think Paul is probably a decent guy in person, but in my mind there is something not quite right about trolling someone's thread where they are proudly posting pictures of a car they are building.

Seriously, somethings a bit off

Whatever it is, I think we are seeing a fracture in PPOT, much like we had before the PARF split. Maybe it's time....

Hash it out as you will, folks...I'm gonna answer some emails, then head on up to the Cue Ball for a bit of pool playing.

LOL, Jake!

That's a mean looking car. What kind of headlights, Nissan? They look great.

Paul,
It appears that you are dissing guys like John Walker, Grady Clay, Early S Man (who was still alive and active when you still owned your 911), and others of the same calibre too numerous to mention in this short post.

That is bad form, Paul, bad form.

That's a seriously nice 944. I'm a big fan of the 924 GTS headlight setup. Makes the car look much less RX-7-ish. :D

Only issue with the car that I can see is that he installed the steering column on the wrong side?

I have not laughed that hard in a while, thanks Jake!

Doesn't count, it is a 924:p
We ran this one & finished the Rolex 24 in 1999:D

Wow, were you guys in the same class as the 911s? How did the lap times compare to them when the car was healthy?

Makes sense from a racing standpoint, gets quite a bit of weight out of high and forward....

Paul lives in Oregon, where Rothsport is located. If Paul lived in Seattle, he would most likely bring his car to John Walker.

I like Paul's posts. A little good-natured needling is fine by me....

This is my nomination for post of the year! Bravo, Jake, bravo!

When the car was healthy, it was very fast. Here are some results, pretty sure there was a class win as well.

Of course the 944 this thread about is very sweet!!

A little good natured needling is fine by me, too, Dan.

Damn, it's only March, and the best post of the year has been posted. What will we do for the rest of the year?

The Mustang is more of Shetland Pony in the company of this particualr 944. Who cares what it cost. It's unique. Bespoke items usually are expensive.

That 944 from that link is awesome.

I like Paul too, and enjoy the majority of his posts. I do find his porsche bashing *on a porsche forum* a bit neurotic though

You won't, trust me.:D
