Why would you want to do this to your 944?

I was watching 16 candles a few days ago. I think 944s have something really special about them. Some sort of can do attitude. It's the euro camaro or something.

You know you're right, they kind of do.




I didn't know they had a 50/50 weight distribution to them. Think I'm going to start checking the local CL for one, in red.

They were the best handling cars in their time. Even in today's standard they hold their own. The 951 (944 turbo) is probably Porsches biggest litte secret.

Hum, this ad shows a different side, unless someone Photoshopped that in there.

Yes this is an actual commercial. This came out for the 1988/1989 turbo models. The 944 was voted the best handling car in the world bybcar snd driver. I can't remember what year it was. The 1988 turbo S and 1989 turbo was one f the fastest cars produced in its day. I've had one once 1993 and this was my dream car in my early 20's.
This commercial had me sold on it.
