So build a big cage, then weld some belt buckle hardware to the harness bar? Clever. It looks as though the whole cage was made to support that bottle of NOS.

Ok, change that too. But still, that doesn't take much work. Cut that thing off, reweld that to a better point on the cage, rattle can it with some black paint and you're done.

thats actually a pretty good job, at least they did it completely. if you dont like the paint it wouldnt be too hard to get back to the original black.

I'd buy it, if it had a 951 engine and different paint color.

Thats one bad *** car. I would drive that car over either one of my 951 any day of the week. As a matter of fact, a street car that has 450 na hp with no lag and high low rpm torque, I would drive that car over any 951 period.

hate the paint and the nos, but everything else looks pretty nicely done. not a big fan of the gauges, but its a good solution. the rear coil overs looks like a bargain off brand make.

I can understand how you would make that mistake.



Seriously though, I would be happy to own that car, all it would need is a paint job worthy of, well, let's say at least one worthy of a Cavalier, and then it would be set.

Let's get real hear folks. Its nicer than my car - and mines pretty damn decent, not to mention this one more than doubles the power output N/A, and has coilovers in the rear, 5 point harnesses and a cage.

That paint job might be distasteful to some, but distasteful or not it would have been holy hell to paint, and whoever did it did a damn fine job judging from the photos.

You don't even have to be in the car business to know that paint job cost more than what most 944 n/a are worth. I think the paint material itself is more than what I buy most of my 944s for.
