I rode as a passenger in a 944 Turbo today at Roebling with an instructor and holy #$%&! That thing was FAST! *Much* more get up and go than my 2000S. We got held up almost every lap by people not pointing us by and when he finally could get around them and put the foot down... wow!

Welcome to the 944 turbo world. You're going to love it. Go to Rennlist 944 turbo board. A lot of knowledge there on these cars.

I have 88 turbo S which I've owned since 2002. Prior to this I had a 87 which I owned since 1993.

I fell in love with these cars ever since I saw this commercial.
Porsche 944 Turbo Commercial - YouTube

These are my babies. Pics are taken earlier today after detailing them. Both are unique.
88 turbo S only about 716 came to the US
2008 Design Eition 2 one of 32 came to the US. Seems not much love for this model in the US but each time I take it to a pca event it draws a lot of attention and thumbs up.

Congrats Trimer! I'll be posting some a similar thread once my '99 finds a good home. I'm moving on to the 993 world. I found one that I simply couldn't say no to.

Best of luck with the 944 world!

The 944 was quite the car for its time and is still quite "competitive" with many sports cars that are 20-25 years newer.

iPhones are great most of the time. Sometimes it just autocorrect without me noticing g.

I've never seen that poster before.
Cool
