There is this blonde knockout who needed to make some extra money so she decided to ................paint! I might paint Ferrrarri's to buy something like this!

I use to have one of these. I sold it for 500 bones about 10 years ago. It is a piece of history. They use to be every where, now they are rare.

Paid $1100 for this one a couple of years ago. Removed from an original 935 that had famous connections with LeMans. I searched long and hard and they don't come up for sale very often.

Incidently , I sold my slantnose prototype in the UK in August and believe it is now on its way to its new owner somewhere in the USA. You can keep an eye out for it , it will surface somewhere!

They are not accurate at all. I was once told by a well known Porsche crew chief that they lost a 935 engine because of one of these gauges at Daytona. This is why Porsche stopped using them.

I want it because I love 935 Porsches. I have a slantnose that I want to install it in just because it is something that was used in the 935. I am running stock boost so I dont have to worry about it ruining my engine.

I'd be more worried about running off the road watching the LED's!
