There are issues, and then there are issues. There is a reason no one has bought this car. It was listed for sale by Parr Porsche for a couple years or more.

I like it, but it isnt turn key as there are issues that need to be resolved. But who knows, perhaps they were resolved, don't know anyone who has sen the car for a while now.

This car has been up for sale for a few years..... yawn! Basic Rennlist search would tell you to stay away from this ride.

Cheers,

I hate it when people call any turbocharged 968 a "turbo S". It is very obvious that car is not a turbo S so it's not really a turbo S replica, is it?

I have always used "PowerHaus Turbo S" as I believe that it is their/my interpretation of the TS. I have always considered a car like Raj's to be a clone/replica as it is as close to the factory as possible. Just my opinion and hopefully does not offend anyone.

Its a subjective question with many answers. What makes a car a Replica? IS a Replica and a Clone the same? What makes a car a Conversion? Do you consider your Turbo a Clone, Replica, or Conversion? or all 3?

I guess everyones take is different.

+ 1,000,000



he built up the nicest front engine P-car that didn't come from the factory with "Turbo S" on the back.


Porsche didn't make enough of the original "Turbo S," because they were ending the line and going to the boxster.



if the car can be built for 180 mph just like some of the factory cars......

made to look nicer, handle and brake better than a plain jane, stock 968 while doing it, then "why not ?"


and while you're "add" it, you can install a decent sound system too.
