The 944 has become a VERY popular car to buy and race. It is my opinion that many are simply not street drivers any more due to this reason.

I also think the value is low due to the 944 being a 4 cylinder Porsche, never a very attractive alternative to most buyers of used Porsches.

Now, an LS1 motor will drop very nicely in a 944 making it quite the flexible flyer.

I DO NOT think the Boxster will go the way of the 944, a different animal in my opinion, and I see no signs that Porsche will abandon it like it did the 944.

After all, a car can't be a real Porsche with the engine in the front, right??????????
