Default Dealer by my house had this little beauty for sale

TechArt Turbo. Test drives got into the 160 mph range with the dealer driving.

I should have never stopped by there... I hate everything I own now.

Not a fan of wheels... an old-school look on a new-school car!

Otherwise, pretty cool car. Very common here.

I'd rather have a 360...

TechArt Turbo's are "common" there, eh? If so you've have seen those wheels before since they are part of the TechArt package.

$160K?! No Thanks. I love the wheels though. It gives the car a nice track look.

that's not a techart package, the techart package should look like this

http://web.mac.com/keith.paris/iWeb/Site/Library.html

i think it is just a regular turbo with the techart exhaust.. even regular turbo can get up to 160 pretty easy.. i had drove a modded 996 turbo from somewhere it has about 650hp and i think it was pretty fast but not anythign near crazy

That's the $40k package, this is the $20k package and it's more than exhaust. I looked over the paperwork from TechArt for a good bit.

EDIT: restructuring hosing, pics down.
