Forgot to mention that the car is available for rent for Cal / Az events for qualified drivers.

Rental fees will go towards purchase price. Try it before you buy it!

Looks like a good car. The Bull you are going to receive is that it is over priced. Have those people PM me on how much it costs to build a car like that. Thousands more. Keep firm on it, the right person will come along.

Never ceases to amaze me that you can, for $14,500.00, buy a ready to race car..

You know that cars can be shipped right?

If you are looking for a car prepped to 944 spec rules then you may not find many on the east coast. If you like it talk to Neal on this. Let the distance be factor in the deal not a deal breaker. I have no doubt the car is well built and I really would love for it to say on the west coast so it can race with us.

Ahhh... may be on second thought...yeah don't buy it... too far

It is really a 944 Cup (East Coast) I'm interested in. I shipped my 993 from AZ but not willing to spend $1600.00 to ship a 944. I'm interviewing a local car with NASA and SCCA log books. Not as developed but less $ and around the corner pickup.

I saw this car adv. in the RL classified and PCA I believe. Nice car.

Thanks for the compliments. I really did build this car to be an example of what a Spec Car could be. You don't have to go to this degree of detail and workmanship to be competitive and have fun in the class, but I did.

This car is a bargain for the guy who values his time, has the cash, and wants to go racing now.

I would think you may be able to do better. I shipped a 69 Vette from Houston to SD in March and it was only $780.00 and insured for 20K. It was on an open trailer.

The weight is just under 2400. With an average driver of 180-220 you're right around the 2600 min for the class. Better to have to add weight rather than try to find a place to get it out. In Spec out here you have to keep glass and steel so your options are limited.

From what Dave has said I think a 944 built to spec rules would run just fine in 944 Cup at 2550 lbs. We shall see at NASA Nationals.

Interested in seeing how the Specs do against 944 Cups. Report back your findings.

Here is a preview of Mid Ohio. These were regional races at Mid ohio in August. Spec cars show laps times to be very competitive with Cup cars and that's at the higher Spec weight vs what is allowed by Cup.

Also, these specs cars are prepped per "new" spec rules, while Cup allows spec cars to be prepped with "old" spec rules allowing aftermarket headers and chips.
