If it were me- I would find a lawyer to send him a certified letter to start (this is cheap to do). If it appears you have engaged in legal counsel he may buy the car back. This is good practice as a car guy anyways as it keeps pressure on bad guys in the business. You might be helping prevent another guy from getting ripped-off.
He may renegotiate price instead of a total buy-back as well.
If you still decide to keep the car, your best money spent is to do as folks are saying here- put on some more reasonable wheels, and drive the thing. Take her into the mountains and get a feel for the handling. I think you'll be surprised at how tossable it is.
Not trying to beat a dead horse here, but if you emailed with the seller prior to purchase using the same poor grammar you started here with, you certainly didn't help your case. He may have read you as someone lacking the sophistication to know what he was buying and was more likely to pull a fast one on you.
You're in college now, and your recent posts demonstrate that you can in fact converse intelligently. I would make sure I do that from now on- wherever the forum/chatroom.
'Nuff said- the next pics we want to see are you with that car in the mountains!

what ever happened to cavat empator? and buyers resonsibility to do their leg work before they buy. anyone who would have done 10 mins of research would have seen that they did not have a 911 engine in the back, and anyone who saw the title as a 912E instead of a 911 should have seen the red flag and walked away.
no doubt that he got screwed, and my heart goes out to him for this bad situation, but he also let himself get screwed, and needs to take responsibility for his purchase
