Most of these mods were performed by Mike Schatz of Schatz Motorsport. Mike is generally recognized as one of the premier turbo mechanics in Southern California. I have receipts for all of his work totaling approximately $30,000.

Car drives just like a stock turbo but runs with approximately 510-520 hp

Extras Included with the car:

Original Bosch ECU
Original Intercooler
Original Seats
Original Turbo Twist Hollow Spoke wheels with new Kumho R compound tires
Original Cats

Note that these spares could be sold rather easily on Rennlist for about $10K.

Car is in immaculate condition. Never been hit or repaired. Not a single dimple or ding on the car. Never even touched with touch up paint. Extensive service records, all performed by Porsche dealers. Car comes with all manuals, original window sticker, etc.

The only possible flaw on the car would be some incidental rock chips on the front spoiler that one would expect of a 6 year old car with 41K miles on it.

This car is as fast as a GT2 and could not be duplicated for less than $115K

For sale with all accessories for $90K firm. Numerous pics available upon request.

WolfTurbo is a regular poster on Pelican. And that car is very fast, with no corners cut in its preparation.

I know. I was just marvelling at the ability to buy and sell very expensive cars, like 993 Turbos and Ferrari Marenellos.
Rem to self: buy some lottery tickets.
I am reminded of an HBO special on recently: one of the Johnson and Johnson heirs (about 18 years old) goes around interviewing other rich kids, and they brag about how much money they can spend. This is not a criticism of Wolfturbo, just a moment of Freudian car-envy angst.

[RSupdate]

Looks like Rob will indeed have the opportunity to run WSIR in one of his early 911's.......

[SCVWGUY]

I wonder if he sold the 74 Carrera?

[Jack Olsen]

No. I believe his stable will consist only of MFI 2.7 cars, now.

Tough life.

[nostatic]

there is a lesson in there somewhere...selling possibly the nicest modern turbo on the planet to keep '73 and '74 vintage cars.

So I assume he decided to sell the turbo and keep the 74 Carrera?

[Joe Bob]

Ummm....turbos blow.....of course he kept the early cars.....

[ZCAT3]

umm - turbos do blow - and suck - that is the whole point.

Too simplistic Todd. If he's (Rob) selling the Turbo, he's got his EYES on something else. Wifey will OK it "IF" he reduces his inventory then he can say it's ( another RS..(speculative) ) is coming into the family...

Just guessin' Rob

I'm sure Rob wouldn't mind if I shared a couple of shots of Porsche 'jewels'.

[fryardds]

The third 'jewel'.
