I thought the Enzo tag was OT convention only . Now that I think about it, I may have posted that car two years ago out of Vegas. Oh well, I cannot imagine any people on the 944 board get tired of seeing it. Especially, as slow as this board has been the last two weeks. Twenty lashes with a busted timing belt for me.

Depends how much boost you dial up. I think it said 450hp@1.0 bar and 536@1.4 bar. Hell, I'd be happy with the 450 myself. Then again, I'd be happy with half that much out of my 924S.

Also - power figues given at the wheels.
So this car is over 600 crank HP on high boost.

I saw this car in person 3 years ago and it looked a tad rough...Nice components throughout but looked pretty welll used....It was for sale then, I don't recall what they were asking. It is probably a good value if the ad is truthful. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Guys - The budget to design and install a real Hewland transmission in a 944 series car would be around $30,000.
That's just the transmission.

Anyone have a link to a better advertisement for this car? Mainly interested in more pictures. I cant imagine someone wanting to sell a $45k race car with plenty of collector worthy history would only post it on CraigsList!
