Don't sell it unless you absolutely need the cash.

It's quicker but "feels" much quicker! It's much much more responsive in the low and mid range, it's doesn't feel like a 951 it feels like a rocket. Those of you who have one know what I mean.

At this point I'm not desperate to sell but thank you for all the comments.

For the money your losing out if you sell. You can buy a good used car. I just had a baby boy and I plan on keeping mine. I hope to pass my 951 down to him in 18 years if I'm still alive and don't wreck her. The GF has a family car so I keep my toy. Work it out imagine how cool that car would be to your baby.

Keep it. If you have good health insurance the baby won't cost that much. Possibly this is the best chance you will have for a long time for such a nice car. Kids only get more expensive as they age.

+1. My wife and I had our first child in April. It cost us $150 in total for all of the prenatal visits and delivery.

Thank goodness for insurance.

Thank goodness for good social security system.... We got all that for free (like all other medical services). Also mothers (or fathers) are allowed to stay at home with the baby a year and having almost a full salary.

Out of all the V8 951's that I have seen this one is an exquisite example, well done. A lot of the v8’s guys lack the taste and end up with fast cars that look awful, monstrosities, but yours my friend is a total beauty a winner. If I ever do a v8 swap, which I might since I am approaching the 50 barrier, yours will the example to follow, unlike a crack user that is selling his street race v8 and he is asking $ 30k plus which he might get in his wet dreams, the guy is a total dork and a geek, he thinks he is god’s gift to humanity but in reality he is a wussy. Love your car and believe me when I say that you may get a phone call from me.

While I am not into conversions myself, I must say that your car is just stunning to look at. It gives a new meaning to a 944T conversion. Best wishes with selling this beautiful example and your new family member too.



P.S. Don't let Lart even talk to you about it, keep him far away!
