Default FS: 1988 944 ITS 944Cup GTS1

For Sale: ITS Class Champion 1988 Porsche 944 Race Car
Waterford Hills SCCA ITS Champion, 2012 and 2010
Car weights ~2360 dry and has 165hp at the rear wheels!
Eligible in SCCA ITS, NASA GTS1, 944 Cup or PCA SP2

Well sorted, developed and FAST 1988 Porsche 944 with the best of everything. Professionally built and maintained by Steinel’s Autowerks with no expense spared. The cost to develop this car was well more than triple the asking price along with several hundred man hours of work. Over $20,000 spent in 2011 alone to make the engine and suspension perfect. All receipts since 2006 will be provided as well as set up sheets, run history and results. Every nickel, turn of a bolt and lap is documented!

Recent service, corner balance & alignment by Steinels Autowerks and completed 2013 NASA annual inspection. Ready to race!

Over that past three racing seasons (2010 thru 2012), the car has been run primarily in the Waterford Hills Series with an occasional NASA Great Lakes event region (placed 4th, without aero, in the 2011 NASA Nationals, GTS1). In very competitive racing over this time, it has amassed 24 wins in 65 starts, along with two Waterford Hills ITS Championships!

Car is currently optimized to SCCA ITS specifications and is competitive in NASA GTS1 or 944 Cup.

Sample Lap Times on Various Tracks:
• Waterford Hills: 1:16.5 (Note: only 4 sec off the STO class record, set in a 500+hp Corvette!!!)

I've known Christian for more than 10 years he has been fastidious in his approach to developing and preparing this car. Whom ever buys it will reap the benefits!
