HELP I love my PORSCHE BUT I NEED A WRX
Hi all
just let me say that this is my first time on your forum and i love it ...I own a 87 944 turbo(951) Porsche. got a stage 2 chip set and a boost enhancer that makes these little german car absolutly FLY!!!(chip claims a 290hrp and well over 300lbs trq) i can honestly say that there isnt to much on the street that could even come close to pulling on me when that boost is up and i am in one of the higher gears...these thing can go from 70 to 150 like a sling shot..//Whats great abut his car is that its fast, it has a sporty look and its CLASSIE!!!/Most important i am not 18 ny more ia m 23 and i dont want some cheap looking civic that all these kids have these days.
/Its a great car but its getting a little old and i want something new..(and i bought a bike this year also)....thats why i came here i am seriously looking into getting a wrx.
Its hard going from a turbo 944 to something like a honda or something. thats why i'm looking at the wrx..i can say that a couple of weeks ago i was lookng for something a litttle more classie like a c-class benz but i am not sure what i want,,its two diffirent world there. but i can say these little wxr's found a way in my head. I mean look at the specs. turbo,awd,endless mods are capable ad you gotta love that wr blue...i am not sure what i should do...any opinions? what 1/4 time would you expect form some mods like a ,intake, bov, and mybe a chip change?..help
Thank you all for your help and time...

The 0 - 80mph is great... The AWD in bad weather is very nice...
Usualy most gains come from opening up the exhaust, adding a chip (UTEC $1000 & user tuneable), & boost controll.

Definitly go with a wrx over a honda, especialy where you live everybody has a honda, I just moved off of Long Island so I know. I lived not to far from the GC I also used to chill out there.
also if you are gonna check out a wrx try going to Gregoris Subaru in Vally stream they might give you a better price than GC and my cousins own the place.

I must say that the WRX is a lot of fun, with endless mods. From what I hear the engine mods average about $1000.00 for each thing you do, give or take a couple hundred. Exterior mods galore. Drive a '99 Vette and the WRX, both very different but each a blast in their own right. The STI seems pretty close to coming over and at this time of year your 944 probably won't get you much, wait till spring where the 944 will go up in value and an AWD drive might go down since winter driving won't be a factor.
Good Hunting.
