its had some nice work put into it so for £3k should be a good handling car, bear in mind its an early model 944 so its not worth much and they are not very quick with the 2.5 8v engine.

It doesn't look terrible for a track car. Not a fan of the 924 intake on it personally. It's got a few bits on it, it's probably worth a look around. If it's not rusty then it may be worth a punt if everything is in order.

The early 2.5 engines were slightly slower than the later ones but stripped out it shouldn't feel horrendously slow - especially once you've picked up momentum.

I had a 924s of a similar spec, v hard srung Leda's, full cage, fully rebuilt EMC engine to 944 power.

It was great fun, think I sold it for similar dosh to the asking price of that 944, it was a tad lacking in pace for me, tho it was ace for learning to drive cleanly & conserve momentum, just needed a tad more grunt really & the lack of LSD & no cheap way to get one was its only real downfalls, handled excellently, 968 club sport esk, but less weight (tho less power too) & firmer (than a regular road cs) depending what the gaz set up is, Leda guys did go to gaz so it could be a similar set up.
