Default Funny 944 Ad on my local CL...No Affiliation

I don't know if this is anyone here, so my post is in good humor only. Again, No affiliation.

This car has ELEVEN (11, count 'em!) "Go Fast" vents stuck on to this car. So this must be the fastest NA we have ever come across, right? I mean if you take the stock HP numbers and then carry the multiple exponent over the tangent of the derivative, we are looking at ~1300 or so for RWHP, right?

The price is pretty high and the description about what the Japanese have failed to achieve was kind of funny as well...enjoy.

A rare 1983 944S model. A great investment opportunity!

Each vent adds 10 horsepower, bro.

It's kind of ironic that he mocks Japanese cars, then ruins his "Classic Collectible Foreign Automobile" with the same **** that ricers are notorious for 'customizing' their cars with...

Ok so my estimate was a little high, LoL and yes, I thought the Japanese comment he made was in bad taste even before you take the vents into consideration. It also looks like there is a shiny silver big *** radiator in the front of the car now that I am looking at the pics more closely. So much for fully restored.

I would hope for the new owners sake that all the "Aero work" is held on with double stick tape to what otherwise is a decent looking car. But then again, to each his own.

the turning point in the enthusiast market's attitude toward front-engine Porsche vehicles.
He obviously knows nothing about Porsche enthusiasts...

He's obviously very proud of it. Probably thought he was "The Man" driving it around town. Misguided, delusional, optimistic owner seeks similar buyer for LTR.

I'm a PORSHCE enthusiast and only like the front engine cars for the most part! Granted I've only been an enthusiast for 35 or so years since they started doing water cooling

For peace of mind on future longevity, one has to hope "Ventman" does his own wrenching! +1 on the rare "S" opportunity, so rare in fact the S model is the same 143hp as the base, geez kid don't give em any ideas!!!

911's are real Porsches, ours are unreal.

Urban Dictionary:
Unreal is
- of a remarkably cool, or impressive nature.
- When you see something amazing that is unbelievable, it is unreal, everything in utter amazement.
