Here, you can post this:
Sadly, mine came off the old Technodyne race car. I knew of one other factory 968 Turbo S motorsports wing for sale last year. It sold for $1500 NIB + Shipping from spain. I know a few companies make replicas but the main difference between the good and the bad ones is where the wing is adjustable. Most of the cheap replicas are just fiberglass whereas the factory ones and a few good replicas are metal. Hope that helped some, you might contact American International Racing (Search for American International Racing +Porsche 944 on google) or call Hank at GT Racing and see if either of them can point you in the right direction. I know they both made replicas at one time.
Pic of the adjustment^^
Oh yeah, you also need a 968 Hatch or Lexan one to attach the wing, and you need the 968 trim (which you can only buy through Porsche for $650 IIRC). Sadly it's an incredibly rare/expensive piece.[/QUOTE]

I would have to say it is the UGLIEST porsche out there
62 more hp and 600 lbs more weight to push around. I figure it'd be pretty close
Oh well, as you know when you showed me that car, I HATE those cars

I think the guy who owns that goes by the name DFastest951 on Rennlist. He put all that money into it b/c he loves the 944 bloodlines as a great starting point for car on rails. I hate (HATE) street racing but he walks the dog with that car against anybody out there in Vegas. Murcis, F360s, 996TTs with upgrades, AMGs, Vipers, Z06s, Nothing has been left to chance on it. Remember its a 20yr old car!! I can only imagine how it handles as well. One of the 10 best handling cars ever built by most historic accounts. Hes sort of a cult guy on Rennlist.
Is it worth $85,000? Who knows. It would take a lot of time and money to build a car like that. Most people would prefer a couple hundred fewer ponies and a warranty for that price. All it takes is one motivated buyer though.
By the way my 944T is the most reliable car Ive ever owned. Even more so than my bulletproof 92 Integra GSR. They are built like tanks. If you treat them right they will treat you right. If you cut corners, you are asking for it then. A Porsche hose is going to cost more than a Honda hose. Thats just the nature of it.
Slow down, drive safely.

I know plenty of cars in vegas that would hand him his ass any day of the week. I just happen to know 1 viper that on 93 octane gas would be disappointed if he didn't put about 20 car lengths on him. Anytime he is ready to race a real car, not some stock viper or z06............drop me a line cause i will guarantee he will get left like he is standing still
