Default 350HP, 1819lb non-turbo 944

This must be a joke. There is no way this car has 350Hp as this guy claims. He puts the weight as being "825" so I am assuming that is Kg and not lbs. Converting that to lbs, it's still only 1819. No way. Even Robby couldn't manage to get his car that light .

Furthermore, under "brake upgrades", he has "Brembo". So I was expecting to find some Big Reds, or even some 951 brakes. Nope. I found this photo on his profile:



Man, I've been going about improving my car all wrong.....

Ack! That is a sad thing what he did to the 944, and what power he claims it has.

This picture:

I think he's the guy on the right.
The pic has the caption: "Both are my EXs...hehehehe"

So does that mean he's a switch hitter?
Ew...

Maybe the weight was supposed to read; 2825, there's no sane explanation for the hp.

thats a n/a engine isn't it? And turbo nose conversion. That guy is stretching the truth just a tad. He also painted the bumper pads .

3 NOS bottles, super dragger muffler, lots of gemballa stuff, i think he has an S2 badge in a pic. Maybe, with the NOS (big bottles, three of 'em) he could make close to 350 hp. but then again, probably not.

I wish people like this didn't own Porsches - That probably could have been a pretty good car!

350 hp? Perhaps a 951, but not N/A...come on... : )
