Need help identifying this ride (video)
 
I came across a video on youtube today that looked very interesting to me. I have had no luck trying to track down info on it in google. All I have is the video. It is here:

Anyone know anything about this monster? From what I can tell from the extremely low quality dark video... it is a older 911 with a wide body kit and a 964 turbo ish flachbau nose with the pop up headlights. Whatever it is I want to see mroe of it and I figured some people on here might know something about it.

I am extremely, extremely intrigued to find more pics and or specs.


Thanks guys!

hard to tell with it being so dark but looks like a 930s (911 turbo slantnose).

Maybe a Juan Ruiz car??

Kirk may be right about that. There was a link to that video from here maybe a year or so ago, so check through the archives. IIRC, the post did have some more info about the car.

OK I'll check. In the meantime can anyone confirm my flactbau 1993-ish turbo front end? I remember it being a rare run of cars... the 964 (965) true turbo with the special 968-looking front end...

i think that is Jaun's car....it is crazy

Its Joe Rodriguez's car. (Friend of Juan's) The car runs 9 seconds in the quarter and he is knocking on the door for 8s. It is a true monster.

Oh my. Now that I have a name I might be able to find more.

1994.. so I was near spot on about the flachbau. So rare. Not my favorite look ever I must admit, but when the lights pop up... soooo pretty. I'm guessing now from trying to visualize that car's turbo setup that the sound of the exhast in that video I posted was straight pipe off the turbo exhast.... So grunty sounding...
