Default Lookie what I found on the Dupont Registry! 890 hp Porsche 993!!

I sooooooo want this car!!



PORSCHE 993 TWIN TURBO. 891 hp. One of the fastest Porsches in the world. Car was built from scratch by Proto Tech in Fort Lauderdale. Only 500 miles. Flawless. Priced at $89,000. See Web site for more details, specs and video of this insane machine.

Damn! Only 89K!

Unfortunately, it's still out of my range

Damn 500 miles only!
I though was never a fan of 993 styling. That does look sinister!

For $89k with that kind of milage and power, how could it not be worth it? Though I assume those are not original miles...

Insane!! He probably did a motor swap.. New flat six perhaps? That can account for the 500 miles..
