Well, it was nice while it lasted, sold my baby....
Finished building it last July, and now it sold in 4 days of advertising it on the regular porsche sites. Kinda bummed because I put so much time and effort into putting it together, I know every bolt and every mod in that car. I don't think my E55 will ever have the character the car had, but at lease I still have the E for now.

Sorry for being off topic....

Here are some of the last pics:

Is that an LS1 tucked in there? Love it! Why build it just to sell it?

Thanks for the support guys,

Quick Specs:
LS1, cammed 380whp on pump, less than 3k lbs, tracked prepped

Had the car for 4 years, completed the swap 13-14 months ago. Felt like it was time to move on, but I can't stop feeling bummed, this was my "fun" car.

I'm sure it (LS1) was fun, but the 944 Turbo S is even more fun and can still be found...You'll get another some day....In the meantime, enjoy 4 doors, a comfy ride, and less headaches....

It's a 944. I wouldn't feel too bad.
