Great car. Where did you get the wheels from?

My old banger has ProS 5W-40 in it, whilst my Turbo has Texaco 15W-40 mineral oil... Im looking at either Fuchs semi synthetic or Gulf Competition for its next change, though.

Awesome looking car Drew [] I last saw it when Bennyboy still had it and it was special back then. At that price it should sell quickly to someone who appreciates the work already done (especially the KWV3's [8D] ). As for whether it is an S or not makes not one jot of difference. As far as I am concerned there are 220bhp cars and 250bhp cars - end of story. Good luck with the sale

Paul.. Paul..Paul.. don't say that you'll upset the S boys... one difference that's often overlooked is weight. The standard 250 weighed a fair bit more than the 220, around 100 kg I believe, whereas the turbo S was more or less the same weight as the early 220. Pete

Came with the car. I've been told they are Veloce alloys. www.velocewheels.com

Thanks Paul - my sentiments exactly.

Well the car has been through an extensive weight loss program and is probably circa of a 100kg lighter for it. You definitely feel the difference over a standard full fat 250bhp car. It's probably why I never bothered with a ProMax Level 1/2 upgrade. It's far too fast as it is embarrassing most so called 'sports cars' and humbles most modern Porsches whilst it's at it. It can keep up with a 996 4S with no problems then eventually eats it through the corners []

If only I could afford a second one. My budget when looking last year was 6k and everything I viewed was a dog compared to the car I ended up buying, Im sure its worth every penny and you will have no trouble selling it []

But then there are turbo's and non turbo's....oh and Oli's S2 [][]. but that is another story!!

 

[Dunners]

Reduced to 6k - need to sell... Please get in contact in you require any further information.

Lovely car as it is, would change the tailipe for an oval if i had it but that is about it, good luck with the sale......................Black Turbos ROCK !! Sits nice and looks great with those wheels, it would drive better on smaller rims though. First serious buyer will buy that car. A fair amount of US Silverose cars (Turbo S) were fitted with sunroofs, also known as the Turbo Cup in France, 1630 total worldwide 1000 Silverose colour the others in various customer choice colours Jim.

Why is it every time I see a nice car thats a little over priced either a) Someone buys it from under me at a drastically reduced price and im shocked b) I buy one then the seller reduces the price to a more realistic price too late for me Answer clearly I'm not as cheeky as I should be [] Best of luck with the sale cant imagine it will be around for long now Mas

the earlier comment about tremoving the ring sticker is an interesting point never having been but having a basic understanding of the place (gone bust?) i would agree with the cmment a car is worth without one i would not want a car that has been subject to the forces and demands that the ring places on a car

 

[944Turbo]

My coupe went around the ring 10 years ago, think I managed 5 or 6 laps altogether and so it wears its ring sticker with pride, havent noticed any long term effects. Dave M's old car managed many many laps at considerable speed and is still around here, was and is a fine example of a 944 Turbo, and I would happily own it, unlike some cars that haven't been any near the ring. By on condition! Tony

I cant see what difference it makes, tyres wear and can be replaced, same for pads, etc. Infact I would say most who take their cars to tracks probably service the car more often and have replaced many worn parts that others might not have, especially brakes and suspension. As Tony says buy on condition! Edd

My old 944 - (a genuine S) is for sale too. He`s had the sills done and a complete respray although I`ve no idea why as I sold it with perfick paint and sound sills that I rustproofed - odd but its had all the right bits done to it. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4186649.htm

I would have thought that is exactly what Porsche designed it to do.......often!

Unless you know the `ring very very well you wont be flat out. Porsche tested the car on the `ring and it is built based upon learning from Le Mans 24 hrs a la the 924GTS
