Oh that's tame next to this widowmaker, which has more power and about half as much tyre footprint... I would never make a good car salesman! lol

"yes Sir, 6 month warranty... if you live that long.."


You can offer lifetime warranty without the need for long term support!

Would it help Paul if I told you the "WidowMaker" has a full stainless fabspeed exhaust, hybrid turbo, dual port wastegate with electronic control, Kokeln intercooler and about £12,000 worth of other kit on it, which makes 425BHP at only the standard 0.7 Bar of boost, and at 1.2 bar the wheels spin on the dyno so we could not get a good reading :)

Yet these parts have only been used for 1000 road miles, and it looks stock, but we also have the stock parts to make it standard again :)

I have always said that after it has it paint I would keep it for a while, but sell it before it killed me, itself and a hedge.. But I need to keep my heart rate down and not get too excited for the near future, so now I could not do that because otherwise just going for a quick drive would probably kill me through cardiac arrest.

It could do with some wider rear wheels, but I like the standard Fuchs ones, so it remained a potential tyre shredder!



Oooh! What a track car that could make. The thought of it makes me wet :shock:

Managed to slide myself into a 944 S2 yesterday, was not easy with the still slightly iffy knee... But ohhh I have missed driving a Porsche...

I am thinking a 993 C2 for my sunday car and an track prepped early 944 lux with an S2 or 968 engine for the track weapon... But I am not starting on either until I have shown discipline on getting rid of the rest!
