Default My 400WHP widebody 951 FS.....

Guys,
I will be selling my 86' 951 with 400WHP!!! The car is reliable...all of the work was done by Chris C. at Technodyne. Just about everything is fresh with less than 5000 miles.
The car was in May 2002?01? issue of European Car. There also is a link on www.technodyneracing.com [ title} reprint of a customers car in going places.
It has street track/suspension, LSD, great stereo, you name it.... all with that widebody look w/18's. Crazy fast.....reliable!!!!
I'm not ready for this thing on a track, although blowing by Vipers, Cobra's and Ferrari's IS FUN !!!
Asking $24,000
Send me a PM if interested....
Pics available thru email although I see the car posted in guys sig all the time.

If you want to sell it you should advertise. Let me drive it around town and at DEs with a "for sale" sign on it, and it'll sell.

Default Why am I selling?

I don't drive the car very much and street racing really doesn't really appeal to me .....although it is kind of fun when you blow by someone like they are standing still in a Ferrari or Z06 as they are looking for you in their rear view mirror.....yes that is fun!!!

Here is my reasons in a nutshell....

I had in the back of my mind that this car would be a step up when I wanted to move out of the 944-Spec class, but quite frankly I realize the resources to turn this 951 into a full out race car and race it for a few seasons is more than I am willing to commit.
As a street/track car it is extremely reliable but to race it at the limit requires more funds than I am willing to spend.
There also is something about what % of the car's limits I would actually be using although due to the HP it would be fast. I am still very new to racing and for all out racing this car is over my limits right now.

I am also interested in some type of trade.... 911's???, F stock, or yes even.....BOO! Hisss! a pro biult Honda Challenge car.

Also if anyone has a pic of my car they could post on this thread it would be greatly appreciated...sorry about not posting in the classifieds...I hope to have the add done tommarrow....

You should mention it to Dan Maloney, he has more money than he knows what to do with, a love of cars, and his own personal race track to play on.

I have decided this to be a personal goal of myself
I'm thinking maybe just a really wide, really long, really windy driveway, like, 2 miles long :P But I dunno...
As well as a few p-cars to play with on it of course.
