View Thread: Porsche Tuners Part II: Strosek


911GT2
Another great Porsche tuner, as well as a Lamborghini and Nissan 300ZX tuners.

They've been around for about 20 years now, starting off with their 928 program, branching into now-existing programs for the 993, 993 Turbo, Boxster, 996 Carrera/GT3 and the 996 Turbo.

I'll start off with the 993 Program:

Strosek sadly carries very little for the 993 N/A aside from their appearance package, which looks like this:

For the 996, Strosek offers a sport suspension package as well as a commensurate power increase:

The 996 Turbo is where Strosek really shines, with an amazing body kit, suspension package and engine upgrades:

Last, but not least is their program for the 986 (Boxster). With breathing upgrades, power is increased and wind-tunnel aero kits are installed:

Strosek has been criticized in the past as having odd-looking designs and not going nearly as far as other tuners such as RUF or TechArt, but Strosek caters to the more civilized customer who wishes a daily driver insteade of a track racer. As for the odd designs, here's one of em:

Stay tuned: TechArt's next!

nice.

I don't think any tuner can go wrong with a porsche unless they make it a four door.

911GT2
Yeah, it's pretty hard to fuck up a Porsche.

But of all the big Porsche tuners (mainly TechArt, RUF, Gemballa and Strosek), Strosek's my least favorite, with a split between RUF and TechArt for my favorite. Gemballa also makes some amazing machinery. I'll do a writeup on them shortly.

4 door porsche? how about 5? hello cayenne!

911GT2
I'm actually a defender of the Cayenne. I will dispute all who smash it, at least until it comes out and people can drive it.

No one really put up a fuss with the X5, why this?

That is one clean 993! I always thought they had more 'personality' than the new ones.

Yeah, that's one of their best designs. Through the 80s, Strosek was known for fucking up headlights real bad, but that 993 is real clean.
