What do you guys know about 944's?

Take your $2K and buy a 1.6 Miata. Put in some tasty KYB AGX or TEIN shocks, slap on some Azenis on 13 pound wheels and you will have a BLAST.
The car is bullet proof and handles as good as anything Porsche ever made. REALLY. Doubt you'll get better sports car use out of less than $4K

1.6 (130 HP)

A 2K 944 is just a really big whole that money will get sucked into.. beware!

It's amazing how quick they can be on auto-x course. The drivetrain is usually good for 150K and there are tons of aftermarket parts--including turbos--to get it going faster.

The other car I 've thought about--a lot more $--is a 99-2000 C5 FHC--hardtop. Sort of a Z06 without the 400HP.They go for under $20K.
