PLEASE, one of you racers on here buy this car. I would love to race it, but I am at least a year away from really being able to put the kind of budget together it would take to run this thing in SCCA for a year. So, instead, just let me live vicariously through one of you guys!!!

Well- buying it is only half the battle, Porschephile. I could almost handle that part. But the budget it would take on top of that to run the car in GT2 in SCCA would really be the prohibitive part. Especially since I don't have a tow vehicle. Ugh! This sucks...

And the color is kind of cool (for a race car) if you ask me. It's the Green Monster...

That would be a thrill to race.

I wonder how much it will go for??

Weird that there is no front photo of the car... anyhow... that color is awful...

You can avoid the expenses of GT2 SCCA and only get it for DE events ...

Love the color, it is a track car! Probably got a great deal on the paint. I agree, it would make a hell of a DE car.

That's my dream car. A stripped 944 with a 968 engine. It's gotta be a smoking fast car. I wonder what the reserve is?

I could not drive that thing! I would crash from staring at that hideous colour!

Hey Legoland,
I emailed the guy about it and yeah, his name was Mitch. Do you know him? He seemed like a pretty nice guy. Unfortunately, it's a little out of my price range... I really wanted to buy this car, bad. It's perfect for what I want to do right now. But I have to be honest with myself... it's out of range. Ugh. If anyone knows the person that buys this car, tell them to report in on it every now and then here. I'd love to keep up with it.

Wow, that's some car! And the puke green is perfect for distracting your competition.

Wow, if this car stays below $5000 I'm going to take another look at it - even though I don't have any more space!

Yep,
Mitch... Used to post on Rennlist under "Quick44"

I believe the motor is a farily stock 968 unit with very low hp for the GT3 class. I figure 250-260 flywheel. I it is fast however due to the very low weight and well built and dialed chassis.

True value should be 20k-25k, and would be a steal at 15k
