Very clean + honest 1986 Porsche “948,” formerly a 944 Turbo (951). Street-legal track car, owned and built by a former race engineer, owned for past 16 years. Now with an LS2 V8 from a 2006 Corvette/GTO. This car has more upgrades than I have the space to document, but have a longer-format Word doc, videos, and photo album I can send. The car is a rare non-sunroof coupe with LSD chassis in good shape with no accidents. I built this car to be reliable and take a beating on track, meaning I have upgraded/improved/overengineered most of the retrofit kit used to install the V8, plus suspension/brakes/cooling.
It has been garage kept during that entire time (and for most of the previous ownership). It entered my life as a lightly-upgraded daily driver, and was exceptionally reliable during that time. Over the years, it steadily transitioned into more of a dedicated track car, however never losing its street legality. This car has not been tracked since 2019, but has been driven to Cars & Coffee on occasion since then. Car is a hooligan on the street and will do 1:20's at Summit Point, 2:09's at VIR, and 2:10's at The Glen (or quicker with more talent) -- or 30mph to the grocery store.
Video is of shortly after the swap while still sorting the chassis/tuning, but it gets the point across. Photo album, upgrades/overview doc, and videos available upon request. I'm in no rush to sell and would like this to go to a good home. Given the solidity of the build, price is fairly firm.
Quick summary of things you can't see from the pictures: Koni 2-way shocks + 350# springs + 30mm t-bars + Welt sways. True manual steering rack. 100% overhauled brakes incl. Tilton dual-MC brake setup with 996TT calipers & custom rotors. Lots of data logging to AIM MXS dash. Corner balanced at 3050# (with 185# driver) with a 51/49 weight distro. Dyno'd at 415rwhp (video available). Beefy cooling, Hooker long tube headers, SFR exhaust. Full interior and lots of exterior upgrades. Oil temps only hit 210 on a hot day at VIR. See separate Word doc with full list of upgrades/details.
