A Well-Set-Up 944

My build for what it's worth.

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.

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!

Gorgeous car, great build.

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

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.

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.

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.
