How about the official Madison thread?!?

[huck731]

Yep, and the 944 doesn't rust easily, either. My favorite Porsche, right up there with the Boxster and easier to drive hard than the Boxster/Cayman/911. Any car guy would take the 944 over the 928, I think. And damn, you are a bad speller!

Just make sure you get a 944 with a fresh timing belt. Takes some special tools to chamge that belt so it seldom gets done now that so many 944s are hoopty status.

well I just found out yesterday that I wont be getting the bonus money I was planning on using to buy the car with untill next june. GD

why would you say that most porsche folks would take the 944 over teh 928, the 928 is such a great driving car. plus it has a v8 over a 4 cylinder. but alas, I cannot judge yet as I have not drivin a 944 to compare it to the 928.

8 is always better than 4 among rednecks, or "hicks" as they are called up here but the 928 is a GT car, not a traditional Porsche sports car so it's just a gas guzzling oddball that has interesting and likeable styling. It was a great model for a more sophisticated Mustang or Camaro but it didn't fit the Porsche tradition. Same problem with the current Porsche trucks. Ugh.

They're all antiques by now, but the 924S with the 944 engine was a great car. 944 Turbos were awesome too and still favored by a lot of track guys. Just crank up the turbo boost Saab-style and you are at 400hp for the track. And the 968 is great too, if you can ever find one. I like the 944S2 convertible and saw one somewhere around here recently. What's cool about the 4 and flat 6 Porsches is that they make great daily drivers. I could get around 30 mpg with both of mine, driven respectfully. But I did go through a lot of fat rear tires at about $300 a pop for Porsche N-designation Pirellis and Michelins.

ok, good point. a v8 is an odd thing for a porsche, but it is still an nice driving car. I do have my goals set on a 944. to bad they one I want probably will not be for sale next year.

[huck731]

why not?

[TheLateJetta]

why not?

Because there are 3 944s on Craigslist right now and the least expensive one is almost 5 grand.
Also I want one, so if you buy one, I will no longer want one because who wants to be, "the other guy with a 944."

Don't do it mang. For some reason all the 1.8t s I hear with that downpipe sound... Farty if that makes any sense. Also, very few mk4 kids active on this thread. Maybe some lurkers. Try the MKE thread or LS.
