What?
That is a turbo graph.
And I don't think there are parts available for a 3.5 (I could be wrong...)

There are two 7 liter 928 engines in the works (that I know of), so a 3.5 944 engine is possible.

Thank god for those door panels and seat covers, I was forgetting what company made this car.

The interior is horrendous, I must say, but I like the highlighted door handles/PORSCHE sticker across the back. If he painted the nose the same black and kept the roof that red color it would look cooler.

And change the interior to just black/red accents, no yellow. Yellow interior = ew. (Sorry Boxster guys, it's just gross)

There is at least one 3.4 Turbo 968 out there, resides in Puerto Rico now.

I've never been beat by rice. Thusly to each his own. I would rather not start a fight, but I believe that regardless of the taste is color choices it appears he (or whoever did it) has done quality work and the car deserves some respect for not becoming one of the perpetual project cars (guilty myself) that are seen so often here. I would rather see five of those cars rather than a single one parted out.

and finaly if those numbers are true (questionable, because the dyno looks more like a 951) its hard to make enough mistakes to be overtaken by a regular 944.

In conclusion, while I don't like nearly, if any of the visual choices this does not qualify as rice to me, however that dyno definatly looks suspicious.

I believe the proper terminology for this car is sauerkraut.
