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.

Our hats are off to Porsche's 2014 911 Turbo Cabriolets

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Porsche has just debuted its two latest decapitated rocket sleds today at the LA Auto Show, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet, which share their coupe counterparts' 520-horsepower and 560-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engines. That kind of power ought separate a lot of hats (and toupees!) from heads.
The rear-engined Porsches put their power down through all four wheels, which allows them to launch from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds or less (the Turbo S Cab takes just 3.1 seconds), and both of them top out at 195 mph.
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet starts at $160,700, while the Turbo S Cabriolet can be had for a grand total of $193,900 (plus $950 for destination). Is the S model's 40 extra horsepower worth $33,200? We're not so sure, but we imagine Porsche won't have any trouble selling it.

Singer offers first look at reimagined Porsche 911 Targa in the US

Sat, Aug 15 2015

We're big fans of Singer's work. The company's "reimagined" Porsche 911s mix the best of what's old with modern technology, and the end results are simply fantastic to behold (and to drive). At the Quail Motorsports Gathering – part of Monterey Car Week – Singer's take on the Porsche 911 Targa made its North American debut, after the car was first shown at Goodwood in June. The car shown here is the second Porsche 911 Targa reimagined by Singer, wearing a really striking shade of brown. Parked next to it was an example of the 4.0-liter 911 that we drove earlier this year. Seeing the two cars next to each other was really special – two of the finest examples of restomod 911s in one place. Singer also used this showing to debut a new carbon ceramic braking system. These new stoppers were co-developed with WP Pro Racing Brakes, and offer a 42-percent weight savings over Singer's standard units. Still, the best part of Singer's display is that brown Targa. Take a few minutes and have a look, in the gallery above. Related Video:

Porsche 911 R, GT3 variant with manual trans, spotted

Thu, Oct 29 2015

The Porsche 911 GT3 is still a strong enthusiast choice in the 911 range, and the GT3 RS has gone more hardcore. But both versions are PDK-only. The upcoming Porsche 911 R, spied undergoing testing in Germany, is tipped to adopt the naturally aspirated engine from the aforementioned GT3, producing somewhere in the neighborhood of 475-500 horsepower. Only instead of an automated dual-clutch transmission, it'll feature a proper manual. Other changes are expected in the form of skinnier tires to provide less grip but a more approachable limit of adhesion. It may or may not feature a small ducktail spoiler at the back. We wouldn't be surprised to see it ditch the four-wheel steering system, either. Weissach may also give it some retro cues as well, but the question all those purists will be asking is how many Porsche will make. The last 911 R yielded only 22 examples way back in 1967. This time they'll have to make far more, but we wouldn't expect this particular version to be exactly what you might call "ubiquitous." No matter how rare, it'll definitely be the purist's choice.
