Interesting car... The owner has probably destroyed everything nice about it..
Why would anyone make portholes from th engine room and also place a subwoofer in the trunk like that?

I wonder if anyone is stupid enough to pay $9000 for it...

And the self made leather interior.. AHHHHH!!!

Makes me want to puke.

A good example of what not to do with a Porsche.

looks like it is a rolling advertisement for the guy with the checkered pants, Big Boy. I think the sniper might have shot Big Boy inside the car and that explains the interior.

The guy who's responsible for all that should really get his head checked by a doctor.

wow that engine compartment seems awfully empty for something that looks so fast! probably has the same ratio of full/empty as the guys head!

according to some rough calculations, with all that extra weight, the car probably has a 0-60 time of about 3 years...

I could definitely spend a long time bashing this guy, but I will make it short. Could he not dry the car before taking the pictures? It does not take too much effort,especially if he wants $9000 for it. He also put a $50 steering wheel on it from Auto Zone and I never thought I would see that shift **** on a Porsche. That tach is even worse.

I read somewhere that back when Porsche was selling the Speedsters, a mechanic had to drive with the person to make sure they were qualified to drive and own the car. I wish such regulations existed today, even for old,used Porsches.

I guess none of you have ever been to Chelsea, or this wouldn't be a surprise

I'm sure most of the "enhancements" are courtesy of Pep Boys...

The pedals are crooked for performance....

bonus 5 secs off shifting time and -50 feet in 60-0mph stopping distance...

yes, thats right...each time you shift you'll fly backwards in time thanks to those nifty pedals...

I saw that 944 auction earlier on eBay. It struck me as kind of sad...like when you see an old dog that has been mistreated all of its life.

As for the 912... that is truly an example of what NOT to do with a P-car. With every tasteless Autozone addition to the car, he's knocked down its value even further. It might make for an interesting project to save the car from this guy's clutches...but if repairing his damage, where would you start? <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
