While the stickers, "mods", description, nose panel, turbo S bage, front bumper, and interior are pretty bad (with the stickers easily taking the #1 spot) I agree with flosho. The car has a nice stance and minus all the previously mentioned stuff is actually a nice looking car IMO.

So there you go, apparently stickers really DO add HP.
Did he have any more to say about the work required to add the roller rockets? Or Strut bases? (I can actually accept this as a typo... only 1 letter missing and 1 letter misplaced...)

But roller rockets? WTF

I don't think that we are picking on the car.I actually think that it looks OK and my car is also stock. I still have my Fuchs. We are picking at the 500HP.

Maybe a typo? rockets/rockers? The guy is obviously not all that knowledgeable about 951s, but cut the guy some slack. Make fun of the stickers but like I said, it obviously has work done to it, wideband and SAFC2 so the stock AFM means jack **** if its tuned with a SAFC2. Who knows how much hp its making...

HA! well I know for damn sure it is nowhere in the ballpark of 500. sorry empty claims, especially that big and empty get no slack.........

Haha, speaking as someone with BIG stickers on his car, they don't add HP. But it does increase the curb appeal exponentially.

Rifle drilled hardened push rods none the less...

Like I have already said, the seller either has no idea what his car is, or intentionally messed up his listing... lacking taste, but being clear and honest I can accept, lacking clarity for a tastefully kept car I can see past, but being tasteless AND lacking clarity in the listing... really is way too much, the lack of clarity in his listing makes it 100% impossible for any buyer to file a claim against the listing for being misleading, as anyone reading it either knows better, or doesn't have a clue...

And now someone has gone a bid on it... good luck to whoever is bidding, I hope this car is every bit of what you expect it to be... it DOES have a clean body as far as I can tell... and those rims push it over the top...
