Talking The race car bug has bitten...I am going to sell the 993.

Here is a list of the mods done. I added up the parst and labor. You won't believe that it comes to (I didn't). No wonder my wiufe is pissed off at me!

The car is a POC legal LP/R4 car. It has track records at Streets of Willow, two (2) time Short Track Series Champion car, 2001 and 2005.

I would rate the condition of the car as excellent. It has never been hit, no body repairs have been done. The engine has never had Check Engine Light issues and was given a clean bill of health re. air flow in the SAI system by Hergesheimer Motorsports in Lake Forest, CA. The SAI valve and manifold were changed January, 2006. The only thing the car needs (besides a new owner) is an air conditioining hose...it is in the process of going on as we speak!

From this list, some people would argue you already have a race car!



Good luck finding your new track weapon,
Jason

Talking Jason makes a good point......................

It would appear to be a race car already...but it really isn't. In order for the car to be competitive, it needs to go on a big diet, strip out the interior to include the door palels...they need the RS panels to accomodate the NASCAR side protection bars, part of the needed fill cage system. I really didn't want to do this to a very streetable car with air conditioning and a 6 CD player, full leather interior, etc...all the creature comforts. And finally...were I to strip the car to race car weight, it would not be a lot of fun to drive on the street...next step, a trailer and tow vehicle....no, no, no...I am not going there.

I am buying a 80 SC coupe, that is already set up for the track. 100 less HP...300 Lbs lighter, a real momentum car. It is time to go up (GT3 Cup or GT3) or go down (SC or Carrera 84 - 89). I choose down. I don't need to go 160 mph down the front straight at Willow Springs...I get my jollies in the corners. I am a G Force junky!

You posted the same time Martin. An SC huh? I was thinking of am RS AMerica potentially for a racer, but a GT3R with 450 HP and 2500 lbs is kind of calling me. The GTC3s are a little slow compared to my turbo (OK , no wise remarks). This could be fun and racable in still curent series events. Hmm, if it works look for me on SpeedVision...if they show anything other than NASCAR anymore.
