If you face some giant subwoofers backward, the thump will accelerate the car. With a stereo as powerful as this guy's I'm sure he can hit 200mph he just doesn't know it yet.

Anyone else notice the overspray on the tires and turn signal lense. What a steal of a paint job at $3200. I wouldn't pay $.32 for that job with the overspray everywhere.

Personally I was encouraged to note that by pushing more fuel into the engine with larger injectors and adj regulator your gas mileage actually improves! Who needs corn gas with innovation like this!

Car turns so hard that if your not careful
it could slam you into the door........in other words, if your not used to a car that handles
as well as this one, you need to get used to it before you start autocross racing it

The windshield it broken because of the radio hitting so hard.
The A/C doesn't work, but I have another compressor, just haven't been able to put it in.
The change engine oil dash light is on and wont go out. I have had the oil changed countless
times over the years, and nobody is able to make it turn off. They tell me that I have to go
to the Porsche dealership, and they want over $100 just for an oil change before they
will turn it off. Needs minor interior work. Car turns so hard that if your not careful

On Sep-14-08 at 11:33:52 PDT, seller added the following information:
It has been brought to my attention that no NORMAL 944 could go up to 160 mph, let alone with all the weight that is in the car from the stereo system. I agree with that 100%. If you look in the section that tells all that I have done to this car, you will see that this is no NORMAL 944. I put it in the listing that this car is CAPABLE of these kinds of speeds because I HAVE driven this car at those speeds after all the mods that have been done to the car without the stereo equipment. With the stereo equipment I can only get the car to 130 mph. If you wish to take the stereo out, you will see 160 mph as well. That is why I put it as EITHER an autocross race car (without stereo) OR show car (with stereo). This is your choice. I will be willing to take the stereo out and take part of the cost of the car off if you wish this. I will only take the stereo out AFTER you pay for the car. I will remove all stereo components and weight associated with the stereo so you can have as light a car as possible. I will even be willing to install a roll cage if you supply the cage. This can all be discussed after the selling process has taken place. Just let me know if that is your intentions. Thank you again.

maybe by "i have driven those speeds" he means that his back tires are so small that they will read 30mph over at the top end
and by only seeing 130 with the stereo its because the lights are all out cuz the stereo's so loud lol
