I'm not personally qualified to speak to that issue, but if you say so...

He had to be kidding...

The car is in Tx not Va... then again those 200mph wheel bearings may help in the time travel with the flux capacitor.

a stock 944 NA with stock-sized tires theoretically should be able to do 170 before redlining in 5th gear. i did some math and youd need around 300HP to get there without changing any aerodynamics (this is why the new 911 with 325HP, even though it is more aerodynamic than a 944, will still top out around 175). thats another thing this guy doesnt get, the weight of the stereo equipment doesnt mean a damn thing about top speed. it might take a little longer to get to 140 but the car can do it with or without your akon/lil wayne blasting
No, I don't think that's quite right...a stereo that heavy will definitely increase the force on the axles/bearings/tires significantly, leading to more rolling friction resisting forward motion

in other words, the engine will have to fight harder to hit a given top speed. Removing the stereo won't affect the top speed by 30 mph, but i wouldn't be surprised if removing it added 10 mph or so to the top speed (purely ballpark guess)

admit it, you guys are just all jelous because you can't afford the 10 grand for that sweet ride.

what other 944 can cruise at 160 mph and break car windows with the sound system.

…and comes with a “back up camera” instead of a rear view mirror because the entire trunk area is filled with the custom amps!!!

Good one 'Reasons!! Many were wondering...

I would pay good money to see this car in person and meet the "builder." Wish someone would do a hidden camera interview as if they were a buyer...
