Not too far from me.
If I didn't already have a couple spare 944s, I'd look into it. |

I've got some nice nebraska back road sections I'll have to see what I can get mine to. I know on the interstate on a clear day a few weeks ago, I had it to 120 and had plenty of go juice left in it... as it should. It's strange how these n/a cars are geared. 1st gear isn't too bad, kind of weaksauce through 2&3, but up top in 4th into 5th, she really opens back up.

FYI, I'm sure nobody is looking to get this as a ITS SCCA race car, but his claim that its ready for SCCA is a long one. No cage is installed, and the roll bar may or may not meet specs, etc. My understanding that a legal SCCA IT motor is capable of 185 on a good day, but thats a pretty detailed build with a good head. So, maybe this can...maybe not. Speedos can be mighty optimistic when smaller diameter track tires are fitted...

Most any 944 owner I've known has been up to was 135MPH.

 Yeah, there is more BS in that add than in a stockyard. The "estimated" hp is probably taken from Jon Milledge's published figures of 185 bhp for an IT build engine. That takes a LOT more than a milled head, although the engines are surprisingly stock. You just need to know the tricks. JM does and I know a little bit about how he gets them there, but certainly not all. And as Jake said, that car is FAR from IT legal, let alone race ready.
