Have you not gotten a reply? What's your e-mail address?

I've been very busy lately, sorry about the confusion...

OK I replied to your PM.

To all, this is a track car, NOT a street car. I am getting too many questions about the car's streetability. It's drivable on the street, I drive it every so often, but please don't contact me asking about "why is it a track car". The thing's on springs that are more than twice the rate of stock (coil overs), stiff bushings/agressively valved shocks, race pads and R compound tires! You CAN drive it on the street, but trust me you'd much rather drive a 951 that's near stock. It's got a weld in roll bar which makes the rear seat useless, the body is not perfectly straight, couple of dents have been pulled of the front fenders, and so on...

Perhaps I should've advertised it in the racing section...

Going twice...

I have 3 people interested right now, if nobody bites by Tuesday I will probably tear the engine apart and try to have it rebuilt in time for my next scheduled track event, first week of December, as I'd rather take a set up track car there than an all original street car...

Would that be the DE at VIR? I can't participate, but I'm thinking of driving up for the day on Saturday, to see how those things go. I understand spectators are allowed, correct?

Spectators SHOULD be allowed, I don't see why not. It's going to be run by Chin motorsports, and it's VIR full. It would be my first time back @VIR in a few years now (which is odd considering it's one of my favorite tracks, and is not far). The amount of track time you're getting and the length of each session is quite long. If you're going to run your car, make sure you bring an extra set of pads, and that the car's ready for heavy track time. It's also on the more expensive side at $600+, but for spectating should work out just fine.

I'm up in the air about what I will be doing, guess I will know what car's I'm shuffling around after this weekend...

No, I won't be running my car - except for the trip up and back. I just really want to watch everything - see what's involved in a DE. I have other stuff that weekend (wife's birthday) which keeps me from participating.

Did you decide against that 1988 White S in Georgia? I noticed he's dropped the buy-it-now price to $8,500. Seems awfully cheap for an S...

Looks like I have a buyer $4k. The more serious buyers got, the less willing I was to sell... Oh well, looks like it will follow through.

Hope to see who can make it out, at VIR.

Still got it...I was looking at 3-4K in work to my car to have a little fun at the track but this might be a better deal.

Just got this:
50k mile 1 owner turbo S, I'm putting together a list of things to do to it already. Sucks that I'm modifying such an original car, but they're not "enough" stock. Does feel quite tight and nice though:
