I dont really see the problem?
He obviously means the shell has been strengthened to take a lot of power without flexing and has been honest about the fact that the block is cracked, looks quite tidy really

The way I read it is the seller is suggesting the shell is stiffened so will be good/better at 550+bhp, never claims this for the engine.
I think he's just trying to make the point that for a track car it can run much more than the std power as the work has already been done.

Looks like a fucking good car to me.

He is only pointing out that the 909 caged shell is the same as used on the touring cars for 550bhp from how it reads to me.

I'd definately consider buying that if I was after doing a trackday 3 door!

shell looks alright to me tbh, cant see the problem, its not a lie really and makes no point of saying how great the engine is

I don't think it looks bad tbh.

The guy hasn't stated that the car has 550 bhp anywhere in the description and has been honest about the block being cracked.

I reckon it would be a good track car project too with it being a proper 909 shell!

the obvious question would be how much he wants for it, be ideal for someone looking for a 3 door track weapon
