Re-listing this car


Porsche 968 Turbo Wide Body GT3 Race Car
Car was originally built to race the Rolex 24 at Daytona IMSA GTO class in 2000
No expense was spared in 1999 Over $100,000 was spent in the build of this car.

The car has continually been upgraded since 2000 with over $70,000 spent. The engine has been built for current PCA configuration producing 500 horse power at a very conservative 1 bar of boost. Motec engine management has been installed along with new inter cooler and water cooling and ducting.

Purchase this car for a fraction of what it cost to build!

Wow, what a car! Hopefully this finds a good home.

I am pleased to see that spindles modified similarly to those on my 951 seem to hold up on a real race car with wide slicks. The adjustable inner rear control arm pivots are also pretty trick. Could you please tell me which spring plates you are using, they appear to be 935-style---if I cannot locate a used Kokeln rear end I will probably end up modifying the stock torque tube in a similar fashion to correct rear geometry and make alignment changes easier.

Good luck with selling this beast!

Chris,
Yes, they are 935 style spring plates. I forgot to mention that. They are very easy to adjust. I'm not sure who made them all the suspension work was done when I acquired the car.

Great car. Couldn't make it from scratch for less than triple what you're asking.
Good luck with Sale.

Hey Tom,
Was this the #5 car that was run by IMA Motorsports a few years ago? That one looked similar though the color may have been darker blue.

I have a fair number of pics of the IMA car, just not on this laptop.
