1989 Porsche 944 S2

2008 NASA GTS2 National Champion

2009 NASA Great Lakes Regional Champion

 

This car is arguably the fastest and best-developed GTS2 car in North America. Built on a solid, low-mile 944 S2 chassis (approx 23,000 miles currently) it has been refined over the past four seasons to the point that in the right hands it is virtually unbeatable.

 

Over that past two racing seasons (2008 and 2009), the car has been run primarily in the NASA Great Lakes region—probably the most-competitive GTS region in the country—and out of 26 starts, has amassed a record of 21 wins (including 1 overall Enduro win from the next-to-slowest class and one later disqualified for a pass under yellow), 2 seconds, 8 track records, one Regional- and one National Championship.

 

Fully-equipped and ready to race, the car is maintained by Steinel’s Autowerks in Twinsburg, Ohio and includes all of the following:

 

 New motor at approximately 17,000 miles

 Stahl header

 Custom exhaust

 K&N air filter with sealed air box

 M030 front brakes

 Titon cockpit-adjustable lever-type brake proportioning valve

 Braided stainless steel brake lines

 Two sets of CCW 18” wheels 8.5/10

 One set of factory 17” wheels (with 1-use Hoosier rain tires)

 LEDA double-adjustable coil-over shock absorbers at all four corners

 Rear shocks mounted upside down for quick spring change (approx 10 mins)

 Hypercoil springs, 800# front, 1000# rear

 Spare rear springs, 600, 750, 850, and 900 lb (I’m pretty sure)

 Full Racer’s Edge bushing/bearing package throughout the car

 Weltmeister front strut tower brace

 Suspension configured to allow 285/30-18 tires at all four corners (for much better turn-in, better braking, and vastly better tire wear by being able to rotate to all four positions...typically I get two full weekends out of a set)

 Fabcar front A-arms

 Eibach adjustable sway bars front and rear

 10mm rear torsion bars for near-zero effect at the tires (allows better tuning with the springs)

 Full roll cage

 SPEC aluminum flywheel (used 1 weekend)

 SPEC racing “puck” clutch (used 1 weekend)

 Factory limited-slip differential

 Shortened 5th gear (factory 944 part)

 Aluminum alternator bracket

 Lightweight battery

 Remote power cut-off

 Integrated fire suppression system both in the cockpit and under the hood

 Custom rear wing and front splitter

 Broadfoot Racing fiberglass nose with front brake ducts

 IFC Racing fiberglass headlight replacement panel

 IFC Racing lightweight fiberglass hood

 IFC Racing fiberglass 968 RS hood vent (not shown in these photos)

 GT Racing fiberglass sunroof

 Air conditioning compressor removed

 Headlights and related parts removed

 Power steering disabled for better steering feel

 Recaro Pole Position SPG seat

 Momo MOD 7 steering wheel

 Aluminum quick-release steering wheel hub

If you want a well-developed and proven GTS2 car, there is none better than this, anywhere. While the cost is not insignificant, the cost to build and develop a car capable of beating this one will be even higher. Fair warning: If you can't win in this car, don't blame the equipment!

 

Available immediately at $ 29,500 (I'll listen to offers and consider cash plus something interesting. Spec Miata? Other?)

No! This is one of my favorite cars in the region. Sorry to see you putting it on the sale block.

 

Nonetheless, good luck with the sale.

I was garaged next to Scott for many races these past two years. You won't find a better-taken-care-of car.

 

The only problem with buying it is that if you do, and you don't win, you'd be short on excuses.

Thanks, Jack!

 

Price reduced to $29,500. Willing to consider partial street or track trades. Anybody want to swap a Boxster S or M3...?

Who am I going to sponsor if not the fastest car with the quickest driver??????? Sell a kidney and drive the car for another 5 or 6 years....
