Its very nice. Pulls like a train after 4k rpm and howls while doing it. Block was sent to LN Engineering for boring and Nikasil coating. Put forged rods and pistons in and a Soul Performance exhaust. TPWS in Austin did all the assembly work.
TPWS in Austin will do a bore scope as part of the PPI. Do not buy this car without that. I spent $20k rebuilding a bore scored 3.4L.
If this is in Round Rock, see if you can get TPWS to do a PPI for you. They’ve been around for like 50 years and all they do is Porsches.
Does the carfax show regular services? The biggest watch out’s are deferred service on things like brakes, belts, suspension, etc. Bore Scoring isn’t a thing on base cars, nor is IMS bearing a real concern with the M97 engine.
I wish I’d kept my 08 Base model, they are fantastic sports cars. You should be able to get this for less than asking price too. Start at 18k. Not like people are lining up with $20k cash for 17 yr old cars and financing is expensive now too.
If I’m buying it with my own money, C8 E-Ray.
