The second pic is simply amazing. Hope you can somehow sway your wife into letting you buy this one...

Have you test driven her yet? How many miles does she have?

It's a 1988. The miles are little high at 155,000; but the motor has already been redone with all new turbo, wastegate, all seals, and belts. The 2.5L Porsche I-4 has been known to go over 300k without low end rebuilds. He even sent a photo with the head pulled showing no scrapes in the cylinders. It's been dyno'd at 247hp at the wheels. They were 217hp at the crank stock.

Oh man, I really hope you can get it. How much does the owner want for it? Can it fit into your wife's tight budget?

247hp at the wheels is around what 350Zs put down stock. How much does she weigh? If less than 3,300lbs she should be quite quick!

Damn, do I love Porsches as well. Too bad I need a four door for my family...

I saved and then uploaded my favorite pic of the black 951 you attached.



Those wheels are pure sex!

A 1988 951 should weigh around 3100lbs or so. I hope I can get as well. We are discussing price and possible trades. I love this car. That interior is just awesome!

We have a tentative verbal contract so we'll have to see how it shakes out. Chike, we will have to bring our new toys to Reading and show them off!

I will definitely be there at Reading '06! Look forward to meeting you Dan and seeing that Porsche 951 in person. Hope the deal goes through...
