Description:

This is probably the best street 944 Turbo on the market today in 
regards to comfort, drivability, and of course speed. 
Comfort:
It has a unique Cashmere interior with new carpet, floor mats, and 
993 8-way power seats on both sides.  Truly the best color 
combination on earth, it brings the car right up to date.  The car 
has brand new air conditioning and everything on the car works.  The 
stereo is a top of the line Rockford Fosgate unit with upgraded 
Blaupunkt speakers.  The dash is in perfect condition with no cracks 
which is also unusual for a 944.  
Drivability:
The car handles extremely well, and rides well too.  It corners flat 
which is NOT a normal trademark of a 944.  It is able to accomplish 
this due to the weltmeister adjustable sway bars.  The car rides 
with 200# front springs and adjustable Koni "yellow" shock absorbers 
to further enhance the handling.  The car also stops much better 
than stock with Pagid "black" brake pads, which are the best and 
most expensive street pads money can buy.
Speed:
The Vitesse Stage III turbo is arguably the best (and most 
expensive) compromise for spool and power on a 944 turbo.  The car 
will spool 15 psi by 3200 RPM which is very close to the stock 
turbo.  The car pulls like a v-8 powered car and is very drivable in 
all conditions.  It makes boost  all the way to redline with no fall 
off.  Check vitesseracing.com as well as forums.rennlist.com for 
more info on this turbo's potential.  It has the potential to make 
350 plus WHP with these supporting mods.

Total bill was 3,000 and this car blows colder than any car I have been in.

I have owned 3 944 Turbos including this one.  It will be sad to see 
her go, but I have a new little one on the way and do not have time 
to appreciate this wonderful car like it deserves. This one is the 
most beautiful, reliable, and fastest one that I have owned.  It is 
very reliable, all maintenance is done.  It would be a turnkey 
operation for the new owner.  Reduced rate travel to pick up is 
available as well as shipping.  I would not hesitate driving this 
car cross country. 
Good luck!
