it's pretty though...except for the rear bumper...

by the Way, Aribop, do you still have those script seats? I've been debating whether or not to bid on those...

This was a Rennlister's car before. I've seen it on here before somewhere, but who's?

240 hp seems about right. He needs to sell because he needs an SUV, then he needs to sell because he's moving. Does Hypertech make a chip for the S?

Top of description:
Wheels are factory 16" with new (under 3,000 miles) Dunlop Sport SP tires.
Middle of description:
factory 16" phone dial rims w/widebody rear wheels w/anti-theft lugs
Bottom of description:
Tires: Sumitomo Wheels: ROH


Seems to sit high, I wonder what the spring rates are.

Gorgeous car. Love the color. What's up with the engine? I see no pics or information about the engine at all. . .

Of course common sense would dictate, "if it sounds too good to be true. . . ".

Not even close to stock. He's got Nology wires, K&N filter, and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Not to mention a Hypertec chip. 240 hp is conservative.

Run Away! Run Away! (In my best Monty Python voice...)

Damn I need to get a kn and nodology coil/wire 240hp! from a 944s... also 2650lbs??? I don't think so.

it does look pretty though... even the rear end!?

He does have an SUV it's parked in the garage!!! OK it's a Jeep not SUV but hey it's pink!

Somebody in the Dallas, TX area should offer to come by and look at it, or perhaps offer cash on the spot....
Smells of a scam to me as well. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
