Checking out a possible 944 track weapon - advice?

Postby JERRY B on Fri Aug 28, 2009 8:42 pm

So I found this killer 944, yo. I need the combined wisdom of the PCA SDR Brain Trust to help me decide if I should pull the trigger.

I know I can't run it in GSS because of wheel modifications, but I still think I can clean up in GS.

Here's a link to the - er - ride.

Jerry, that car is you. What are you waiting for! Hurry before Mark R beats you to it. He is looking for more speed and those 22's are the key

That's my year... not the fastest year for GS/GSS. Are you going to put a new engine in it? Looks like a custom rear fender. Wonder why they need a trade?

Dude... I would run that thing at every auto-x. You could make a new class... 944-pimp. I would be willing to convert my car over.

I am currently in negotiations with the owner. We're haggling over fuzzy dice and posturing as to who's the pimp daddy of them all. :roflmao:

I think the only driver worthy of this car is Jackie. The rest of us would just waste all that grip with those rubber bands.

Im in for the "PIMP" class! I can modify my 924S and get some 22's on it, maybe some spinners! Ill probably go for the LLAMA interior with a gold plate chain steering wheel and some fuzzy dice some where in the car!

Being a closet contrarian, I am opting for redneck and will start looking for a 944 with T-tops, hurst shifter, and crager mags. Though I will start working on the mullet and sleeveless shirts now. bitchin!
