For sale is a beautiful 1987 944 Turbo. I spent many hours working and modifying this vehicle and getting it to where it is today. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and I have no choice but to sell.

Let me start out by saying this car is NOT STOCK! It has been modified! With that said it has been modified to modernize the vehicle in how it operates and performs. These are good things if you want more power and a smoother drive!

The car runs great and the engine is very strong with great leak-down test results! Car shifts great with no grinding! This car is a blast to drive and I thoroughly enjoy on-ramps and windy roads! These cars were know for there 50/50 weight distribution and are not rear-end heavy like their 911 Cousins.

The car looks great and I get many compliments when I go out. This car is complete and a true daily driver! Although the car has never been dynoed I estimate this vehicle to have approximately 340 rear wheel horsepower. The car has never been tracked and was garaged for most of its life. The car starts every time and idles great! It has a nice deep growl but nothing to crazy!

Engine: Fresh Rebuilt Engine Low Miles on it. No scoring on cylinder walls. Fresh rebuilt cylinder head with valve guides replaced. (New Head Gasket and Timing Belt) New spark Plugs and wires

Mods: Tial Dual Port Wastegate (factory was single port) / Black Knob Boost Controller / In Console Boost Gauge / In Console Innovate Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge / Fuel Rail Pressure Gauge / Silicone Vacuum Hoses throughout / Aluminum Lightweight Racing Flywheel Spec Stage 1 Clutch / Full 3" Lindsey Racing Exhaust included with High Flow Cat insert or Straight Pipe insert / Lindsey Racing Super 53 Turbocharger (Garrett Hybrid), Less than 5,000 miles on new turbo / The Turbo is much bigger than the stock unit but is much more advanced and is a good ratio of power to lag. This is a dry turbo set-up (oil cooled only) and the stock coolant lines to the turbo have been removed and blocked off. 55# Fuel Injectors / Billet Blow Off Valve. I run the vehicle (as do many others) without the front plastic engine cover. This allows easy viewing of the belts to monitor their condition.

Engine Management: This vehicle was recently set up with a Rogue Tuning Custom Tune System (M-Tune Varient) complete with MAP Sensor, Quad MAF Unit, and Custom Rogue Tuning Chips. This system has a can be made to work with E-85 and but currently chipped for premium unleaded fuel with overboost protection set at 18 PSI to ensure longevity of the engine.

This Rogue Tuning System is night and day over the old 1980's stock computer chip and air box set up. More information can be found on this website: www.roguetuning.com

Body Upgrade: Fiberglass Front Splitter / Fiberglass Vented Nose Panel (helps get more air into intercooler) Fresh Paint Job (2yrs old) 17" Factory BBS Wheels painted charcoal gray.

The vehicle has really low miles, a clean history, and is accident FREE!

Here are some issues so there are no surprises:

The A/C Compressor will need to be replaced these can be sourced used or new on Ebay.

Body: There is a small paint chip on drivers side door and one on the passenger side mirror. A paint chip kit could be ordered and this issue fixed easily I just don't have the time. There is a little paint overspray in the engine compartment and underneath the vehicle. Overall the paint looks fresh and bright!!

Interior: The passenger seat has a small tear near the seam and the arm rest has a tear near the hinge. The interior is overall in really great shape. There is a small imperfection on the dash board where it looks like the previous owner repaired a small dash crack. All three of these issues are common on these 25+ year old cars. These cars are classic and not everything is going to be perfect as if it just rolled off the assembly line.

Other details:

The car is currently running the stock suspension which still performs great. I would recommend upgrading to a stiffer suspension if you were planning on tracking the vehicle. Same goes for the brakes...these are stock Brembo units that work great but if you were to track the car I would maybe upgrade them to a more modern setup.

I don't have the spare tire or the jack in the vehicle or the original sales documents or user manual.

Cruise Control is not hooked up and not sure if it works.

The huge stock steering wheel was taken off and replaced with a small MOMO race three spoke wheel! The horn button on the wheel does not work but I have installed a dedicated red Horn button to the left of the wheel on the front dash.

If you have any other questions or concerns please don't hesitate to email and ask!

I've really tried to include everything I can think of so you can bid with confidence!!!!

Evo pits BMW M3 against Porsche Macan in drag battle

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

If you want to move five passengers in very rapid fashion and you've got a $75,000 budget, two newly introduced four-door models immediately come to mind - both are the highest performing vehicles in their respective segments. But which is faster off the line, to the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark or flat-out over an even longer run? Evo took both to paved aircraft runway to find out.
In lane one we've got the all-new Porsche Macan Turbo, which boasts a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 rated at 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Porsche is fitted with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, and the 4,244-pound crossover has the traction advantage of standard all-wheel drive. In lane two is the all-new BMW M3, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It is also equipped with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, but only the rear wheels of the 3,595-pound sedan are driven. Both the BMW and Porsche arrive with launch control, which helps to remove driver error off the line.
Which automaker's launch control system is better off the line? Does all-wheel-drive grip give the crossover the advantage it needs to overcome its adversary's power-to-weight advantage? Will aerodynamics factor into the results? Which would you put in your garage, and why? The video may surprise you.

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time, and to celebrate the car's first 50 years, Porsche has released a stunning set of photos showing how far the 911 has come from the original back in 1963 to its current 991 generation. Unlike the recent 60-year photo spread that Chevrolet put together for the Corvette, though, Porsche's gallery only shows the original 911 and the current car.
Each time the 911 is redesigned, the car's front fenders, roofline and the shape of the side windows are key focal points. Even some of the interior cues have remained the same over the years, including the positioning of the ignition key on the left of the steering column and the five-gauge instrument cluster layout.
Scroll down for Porsche's press release breaking down the seven generations of the 911, and be sure to check out our gallery with plenty of high-res pics for you to download as a desktop wallpaper. In fact, we're providing these at 1920-pixels-wide instead of our usual 1280 wide. Enjoy!
