This is a 1986 944 turbo. This is a very fast 951. It needs its share of work. The car was traded to me for one of my cars. We drove it home from WV 230 miles and it ran well. First gear grinds at about 1500 RPM but doesn't make any noises in any of the other gears. I either start in second or quick shift if starting in 1st. The turbo spools up as it should and the car drives down the road as it should. The car has it's share of issues but does run and drive. It has some later model 18" 911 rims on it with some very thick spacers. The rears are 11" wide. When cornering hard the tires rub the wheel wells. If you don't want the rims and you have another set I will take $750 off of the final sale price. I do have some d90's I could put on as a swap. the interior isn't horrible but will need some cleaning. The dash is cracked as most are but it doesn have the dash cap. The seats show some wear but don't have cracks. The carpet looks good. The rear seat back top has the vinyl coming off. The drivers side in front of the rear wheel has a rust area (see pic). It does have an aftermarket front bumper cover that could use some aligning as it doesn't hit the front header panel very squarely. Right now I am chasing a high idle on it where it will race a bit after warming up. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. thanks

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
