Anyone know someone looking to sell a track or race-prepped 928, preferably 1987 onwards? Thanks.

If you want a fast track car, why would you want a heavy S4?

If you want to race, you are far more limited with an S4+. ITE in SCCA, GTS in NASA (you'd get killed), and PCA GT3 (with John V's 550hp monster) are about it.

Erik, I think you missed the key term:
Once stripped, there's no appreciable weight-savings amongst the various 928 models. Plus, mod-for-mod, there's more horsepower to be had in S4+ engines.

Oh I was kidding already.

I have also been dabbling with the idea of building a track car just for fun on trackdays.
Keeping my eyes open for an OB though. Sunroof delete, crappy looking inside and out (since its all coming out anyway). Motor in reasonable condition (meaning not rusted to a stop). I can fix all the other crap.

Basically, a parts car that has all the major components in place.
5-speed of course......

Cheers

I don't think so!

The reason I was thinking S4 is simply because I already have an S4. Advantages: I have worked on my S4, am familar with most of its components, would have a spare part for anything, parts can be swaped from one car to another to help with diagnosis, I could keep one roadworthy at all times, etc. That would be my first choice but I'm open to other ideas.

I've tracked my S4 a few times and loved it but I took it easy as I am not sure how much I want to beat on it in the future. A dedicated track car would alow me to experiment a bit more and start to challenge myself.

That''s my thinking.

Ok fine, you want to play that way? Go catch Jean-Louis

John V.'s monster stroker and other tracked prepped 928s live in PCA GT2S.

And look what Mark Kibort just did with a gutted 928S4...

Sylvain Toupin was thinking of selling his 928 race car when his stroker motor broke a rod. I am not sure if he is still going to do so though.

how much do you want to spend?
i have 2, one will ultimately need to go.

Stan.Shaw@Excell.Net

Will you let either go for $10k?

Why would anyone want to race a 928? You're just gonna blow the engine. Unless your ready to sink an additional 20 grand into building a stroker. The only reason Kibort gets away with it, is because he has the finesse to never exceed 5000 rpm's and has the specially built titanium engine that was designed for Al Holberts record setting run.

Oops, yes John is in GT2. Either way, it's an expensive modified class.
