No it's not a Mustang but a car i've always liked... Porsche 944 Turbo... gonna be pretty much a weekend/nice day car.. i've got a good daily driver luckily... anyhow it's in immaculate condition for being an 87 model.. has been well taken care of and absolutely a blast to drive... really a quick little car for what it is... i attached some pics for you guys to check out... I'll always be a stang lover and plan to own another again down the road... just wanted to experience some other rides for a change... thanks for looking !

Well.. i tell ya one thing... this car handles great... very tight feeling... doesn't rattle or anything... sure doesn't drive like a car being 20yrs old... thing only weighs like 2800 lbs i think... it's got about 250hp at the moment... i think with a few more bolt on's and such i can get it to around 300hp... once that turbo kicks in it really pulls... i'm use to supercharged cars so it's a different feeling.

Looks sweet!!! VERY clean!! :)

What mods have you thought about? I know software combined with a little waste gate spacer thing is good for around 70rwhp.... Let me know if you have any questions :)

Thanks for all the props guys ! It is a very clean car and i feel very fortunate to have found one a Porsche enthusiast owned and has maintained so well.. i have a folder of all maintenance records and such that he gave me with the car... so important with these cars to have that kind of info from my understanding.

Well.. it does have a chip and a K&N Filter (non conical)... the previous owner did mention the waste gate thing and also going with an aftermarket exhaust... those along with maybe the conical K&N would be my immediate interests to get more HP .. I'm trying to do some homework on what i can do to it... not as familiar with the in's and out's on it just yet.. of course way way down the road if i got a real itch to increase the HP i know i could go with a bigger turbo.. i don't have any plans to do that now but wouldn't rule it out as a long term goal... but yeah if you know of some things off the top i'd welcome and appreciate all insight and advice... thanks !

i heard a rumor that the guys designing this car in the 80's had pictures and cutaways of C4 corvettes on the wall behind their desks. im kinda biased, but i guess if you are gonna make a sweet car you will need sweet inspiration. you can say what you want about styling, but these cars handle like mad (both the porsche and the c4)
