OK, I'll try to post a couple of pics. I hope these are not too big.

Well, they say they're too big. Let me work on this and check back later. Thanx.

Make the dimensions smaller...or open them up in Photoshop and save them as a lower quality jpeg.

I could buy a perfectly pristine NA for 1/3rd that.

Why buy hybrid? You sell me Predator.

And you would have 1/3rd the HP also, if you are ok with stock power then these Beasts are not for you.

HP ain't cheap, no matter what way you go after it.

Hey now, to each their own. I personally think the V8 944's are kinda cool. You can acheive a hell of a lot of power for not too much money with those engines. Makes a really cool sleeper car, stock on the outside....beast within!

Everything has a price. Make me an offer. I'd build a nice LT-4 968!

I often see cosmetically beautiful 944s sell for around a thousand with blown engines. Perfect candidates for a V8....if you have an LT-1 and a 951 tranny laying around that is.

Ummm....is it just me or are neither one of those cars turbos? Both look like NA's that were converted. That means smaller brakes, less robust tranny, no ABS, blah blah blah...the list goes on. 16K is a lot of coin for one of those.

Mike, it says they both have 951 transmissions. I bet they don't have power brakes though.

First off, in his description, he states that they have 951 trannies. Second, ABS WAS an option on the n/a's.

Finally, i think that Predator is well aware of the extra stress that 3x the power puts on the rest of the car, and probably went the extra mile to make sure everything is up to par.

Although i agree that the price is a lot, youre buying something unique afterall...and with a lot of hp (all on an engine which you dont have to carry around an extra set of gaskets and what not just incase..as compared to a modded 951 engine).

Where did you get the impression that Predator built these cars?
