It must have around 600 bhp according to his add


THIS IS A VERY VERY FAST CAR AND SHOULD BE ABOUT 330 TO 350 BHP FASTER THAN MOST 911,S AND BOXTERS MUCH FASTER

The headlamp treatment is similar to that shown on page 12 of this months 911&Porsche World. I think they would be an improvement over the pop up air brakes.

Agreed. They would be more aerodynamic.

With the only real mods being an adjustable wastegate and some chips he's probably only at 290-300 :roll:

Unless he's turned it up to 25psi :shock:

300 bhp would still make it fairly rapid, but wouldn't all those scoops on the front would act as an air brake

It's enough for the Tesco run, but not enough to crack a smile unfortunately.

To be fair none of my cars make 300bhp currently, and the 944 is at the bottom of the league. I suspect they need 500+ to make them really fun, based on my experience of 360 in my 944 and 505 elsewhere.
