Porsche 944 Turbo (951) clean and nicely modded for street & track / HPDE
1987 Porsche 944 Turbo (also known as the 951). This is a very nice, driver-quality '44, not perfect but nicer than most! It has had a recent good quality repaint in the original Zermatt silver. The interior is in very good to excellent shape for its age. Leather is very nice, just some slight patina on the side bolsters as would be expected. Most everything works as new, the heat is hot, the A/C blows cold.
The previous owner had recently done the timing belt, balance shafts, water pump, and tune up. Car has been modified tastefully with good quality components from Lindsey Racing, one of the foremost 951 tuners in the country. I'm told it has an upgraded turbo from a later 944 Turbo S model, along with adjustable boost, boost enhancer, shimmed wastegate, big blow off valve, tuned chip, and a big exhaust, straight thru to the Magnaflow muffler. I can say with certainty it hits HARD when it comes on the boost, definitely not for a beginner! It's one of the strongest 951's I've had the pleasure of driving. The clutch hooks hard as well, and this car is equipped with the fairly rare and very desirable Limited Slip differential.
Suspension is a very well sorted collection of components: Weltmeister blade-adjustable swaybars, some of the best available for Porsches. KONI double-adjustable front struts, threaded for ride height adjustability as well, with Eibach ERS coil over springs in a very well chosen spring rate for track and HPDE events without being too harsh for street use. KONI 2812 aluminum threaded body rear shocks with Eibach ERS coilover springs designed to be used in conjunction with the factory Porsche torsion bars, which have been re-indexed at a lower ride height. Alternatively, if the buyer wants a more street-oriented ride, I'm happy to swap in a set of KONI yellows (adjustable) and H&R springs, which ride a bit smoother. The car currently sits on a set of 18x10 Turbo Twist replica wheels shod with half-tread Kumho XS tires, size 245/35 front and 265/35 rear. Fenders were rolled to accommodate this much larger size, and grip is fantastic with them. The car has a fairly aggressive alignment as well, which has the side benefit of allowing a bit more clearance. It is also equipped with some good dual purpose, high performance Porterfield brake pads.
As for apologies, there are a scant few, less than you would expect for a car of this vintage. But in the interest of full disclosure:
Seats show some mild wear and patina
Driver side rear view door mirror has been replaced with incorrect glass
Hood has a slight twist to it from years of having a worn out hood shock on the passenger side (which I replaced)
Dash has a few small cracks at base of windshield (not extremely noticeable, and easily fixed with a dash cover)
Steering wheel patina- it's a nice Momo Monte Carlo wheel, and feels great to the touch, but visually shows some wear
Airbag light on because of aftermarket Momo steering wheel
Turn signal doesn't self-cancel
Driver side door lock works with the key but not the electric lock button
Horn doesn't want to honk
Overall, this has been a very fast, very fun car. It is suitable for autocross, track events/HPDE, and daily driving too. It has been very reliable for me, and I hate to sell it, but I've got too many toys and need money to expand my business, so it's time to find a good home for it.
Please: Serious buyers only. No joyriders, be prepared to provide a good home for this. They don't build em like this any more, and I don't want to see it abused. Take care of it and it will take good care of you!
Asking $8500 OBO. Trades considered.

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
Porsche 911 GT3 wows the crowds in Geneva
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Porsche has a long and storied history of taking its range-topping 911 sportscar racing, with an enviable record of achievements in tow. The latest machine with which the automaker will take to the track can be seen above: the fifth-generation 2014 911 GT3.
With 475 horsepower strumming through the 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, this is the pinnacle of naturally aspirated performance from Porsche. It can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds, hit a top speed of 195 miles per hour and has lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven and a half minutes.
A dual-clutch PDK transmission (no standard manual gearbox will be offered) with shorter gearing than lesser 911 models sends power to the rear wheels. Providing forward motion isn't the only thing those rear wheels will be doing - Porsche says the 2014 911 GT3 is fitted with the manufacturer's first active rear-wheel steering.
