Perfectlap, I almost posted to explain what it was, then I figured ( hoped ) you were kidding

DJ, didn't get to go for a ride, but it sounded pretty sweet when he took off.

Chills, I think he said it was a 1986...

( I know it is older than a 1989 because it has a four speed )

BTW - He told me he is looking for Fuchs to replace the BBS rims.

All 930s have turbochargers, so you don't call it a '930 Turbo', you just call it a 930.


Badass ride!

'86 was a good vintage. I love that body style. That is what a Porsche is supposed to look like.

Do my eyes deceive me or does the back of that thing say RUF turbo on it? What RUF mods does it have?

Wow, fishage, good eyes !

Yes, it has RUF badges on the front and rear.

Couldn't tell you what all has been done to the car, though

Sorry but I hate to say this but with only 300 hp theres NO WAY that thing goes 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. A new boxster S has 295 hp and its not anywhere close to 4.6 secs. It has 20 year old technology. Not to mention its only a 4 speed.
