Okay folks. As car enthusiast, a lot of you appreciate a variety of performance cars. I'm seriously considering getting the following and want your opinions. Thanks.

 

Not my favorite Porsche but hot car nevertheless.

 

i would buy a 911 turbo instead...

 

one of my friends has one... exact same year. she has like 144,000 miles... its a turd now. parts are very expensive and a little hard to come by. i must say though- you can't beat european construction- even after all these years her doors are so solid. i remember they did a comparo between that and the 300Z-
pretty much fair test.

i like the selling point, "system remains funtional even if all the whels are in the air!"

great minds think alike. i've always wanted this car. i love the body styling and chassis design. if you get one, i'll definitely be jealous. if you're really serious, i know someone who has 944. i'm sure he'd sell it for the right price. give me a call or stop by tomorrow and we can discuss.

 

I almost got one in 1998 for my first year of college in Oregon.

I found a black one with 40K miles...it was pretty nice but I ended up doing the "smart" thing and bought a Hon-duh.

I always dream of what could have been...

 

I've been doing some research on the car and I really like some of the stuff (especially the '89). The car has an external wastegate (cool ) and it is much cheaper to maintain and modify than a 911. Check out this package:



340 rwhp for $3,600. Includes complete exhaust system, turbo, injectors, external wastegate, intake, computer upgrade etc. Not bad.

 

Dean,

DO IT! I think that's an awesome car and with some TLC, it should be an awesome project.

 

not too shabby - but the Porsches with the number '4' in their designations(944, 914, 924...) were pretty much VW engines, rather than the boxer design. but it is a sweet ride nonetheless.

hangbot likey the 911's

 

you should get it. the car handles nice.

 

The 944 engine was half the motor in the 928. The heads are practically interchangeable. The 914 is a VW engine but it is also a boxer design (flat 4 like our cars).

Went to look at the car again today. It checks out nicely and I even had a Porsche mechanic look it over. The only thing I'm waiting for is for the service records. Once I get those I'm gonna negotiate my price and hopefully drive it home .

 

i'd definitely like to see it if you buy it... btw dean... i'm sending you another pm.
