Ignorance is bliss

So I parked my car for the winter again, I keep it up north in a pole barn in Brained area . Than we visited with family up there, we all had a good time. Then the topic came up, about me and another family member storing cars for the season. The people wanted to know what kind of cars, we tell them. He said “I store my 87 Porsche 944”, everyone is like wow that’s a fast car or wow a Porsche. Than I tell them “I park the laser”…everyone is like, what's a laser?...People think the 944 is fast!? it's a non-turbo all stock, fast? Not faster than the good old laser. The general public is so ignorant to what is fast. oh well the Porsch is a better car. Anyway I hope everyone had a good turkey day.

Yea my dad just picked up a 84 944 is mint condition, its a fun car and handles real nice but its not fast by any means... 2.4L with some torque but the turbo model is much nicer. I like the looks of them though, they are already quite low for stock and look kinda mean.

looks kinda like a Conquest...;)
I do like the 951 or 944 Turbo. I don't think i can afford one though.

[unreal808]

you can get a 80s Non-turbo 944 for around $3000

[Shotgun!]

oh, Non-turbo? What's that? I don't understand...
I'd be looking at "chips" and "cams" and "chips for cams". So i guess i'd be a VWer...yikes

Actually Peter they were a 2.5L engine in them. What color is it? My mother just sold hers a few months ago. The 944 NT's were slow in the straights, but murdered almost everything on the street in the corners. Back when they were making them, it was more about carrying speed thru the corners. You can also lay rubber in first and second gear until the cows come home. They are very fun to drive and you get looked at by everyone (including police).

So pretty much like a honda huh...

No its rear wheel drive and is a Porsche....

Oops my bad yea 2.5 not 2.4. The color is tanish/silver we know who the orignal owner is, we talked to him a few times becuase we bought it from a cheap dealer on lake street, they got it from an charity and we got it uber cheap.

When I think of 944's, I think of $$$$.I made a killing off one a few years back.This guy in St Paul had one that some shop told him it needed a new head and would cost $3500.I got the car for $800, and it only needed a head gasket.I threw in the HG and repainted the whole car and I got $6500 for it, I only had $1500 into it.Easy 5 grand for 4 days work.
