After building a couple air-cooled RSR lookalikes, Frank Cassidy found he was struggling to keep up with the modern GT-series Porsches on track days.

Increasing the Reliability and Cylinder Count of this 944 Track Car in Just 10 Minutes!
Boost Brothers Garage bought a 944 for use as a track car. It's not pretty. It wasn't pretty when they started, and it was possibly less pretty when they finished.

In the world of aircooled Porsches, the 964 has traditionally been viewed as the unwanted child of the bunch. For years this was a Porsche that was seen as too similar to the earlier Carrera 3.2, and not quite as good as the 993 that followed it.
