<--- 951...but I'm biased. I blame it all on Obin.

Seriously. The guy had/still has some serious impact on people here.

Screw the poor!!!

f mystique and status symbol crap.

give me the Supra and you can see my tailights.

I always liked the way the interior wraps around the driver

who cares what most Badge Whore Porsche Owners give the 944, fact is...a 944's are better bang for the bucks then any 911's, the Turbo S is just as quick as a 930 Turbo from the same era, and handles better.

check out autotrader, pristine, low mileage Supras & 944's alike are both selling for over 20K.

as for anyone who considers the 944 an Audi, is ignorant at best.

not ignorant, there is good speculation that the 924 was engineered by/for Audi before ending up as a Porsche. You might ask 924 owners about a clarification. As far as badge-whoring, just look a few posts prior where a "toyota is a toyota" so there you go

The Supra never impressed me much at the time of it's release and still doesn't. Guess I didn't waste enough time watching F&F and fantisizing about Paul Walker to appreciate that bloated pig. I guess there's one thing it has over the 944, and that's that all it takes to go 9's in the 1/4 and beat Ferraris is a big intercooler and some ugly graphics.

Get over yourself. Really...

You can't compare Godzilla to a T-Rex..

In JGTC, the GT300 944 is not even in the same class as the GT500 Supras.

Personally, the Supra was ahead of its time in design. The 944 just typical bland German car.

The 944 might have looked bland, but technologically, it was far from. It took a decade before there were even cars in the same class on the market that made the 944 feel like it was an old car.

great name-calling!
Are these the same pig-heads that'll take any Porsche over a Toyota since it is Porsche? I guess my 911 owning friends are pig-headed idiots cuz that what they feel about the 924/944s (rightfully or not).

As far as the F&F thing, that movie ruined it for me as I was in the market for a used one about that time. After that movie, everybody jacked up the prices they were asking for just like the way the old Minis have appreciated since the new Minis were announced/introduced, which Im sure you're familiar with.

Umm... 1985 Celica Supra? Seriously, I would eat 944s for lunch in my '85. 147 hp in the 944 just wasn't enough for me to keep it, jeez moms in their volvo turbo wagons would ******* off in the 944 and that was the last straw!

I miss my 95 supra TT

does that mean you had a 944, 85 Supra and a 95 Supra?

P.S. Oh the cruel irony of the 951 badge snob. He goes to PCA events, only to be maligned and mistreated by the 911 owners. Then he realizes, it's not really a Porsche club, it's a 911 club and there is no brotherhood toward the watercooled members whatsoever. Guess what? Beating them on the track doesn't make that go away, it makes them hate you all the more!

I'd love to drive a car that is over done - 1,500hp

rather than a car that is under done - 95hp

LOL. That's why you jump the fence and join POC.

"And what type of vehicle is required to make a 996 Turbo S feel as brisk as a Mondeo V6 around the Nordschleife? Yup, a Noble M400. The M400 is so much faster around here that even locals in tricked-up GT3s become mobile-chicanes." - GT Purely Porsche Magazine

They can be of assistance with this debate

EVERY OTHER CATEGORY????? 951, hands down.

Yes, yo ucan put a bunch of money into the Supra T to get it better in all other categories, but you can also put a bunch of money in a 951 (944 T) and make it a 1/4 performer.

give me the Supra and you can see my tailights."

Unless you race a 944 Turbo that is actually modified.

A lot of kids that have no idea what a 944 Turbo is think that until I educate them.

Bone stock 944 Turbo vs. bone stock Supra Turbo, the 944 Turbo will win hands down in any type of race. Not to mention even the newest 944 Turbo is still almost 15 years old.

A bone stock 944 Turbo runs 0-60 5.5, 1/4 13.5 and top speed 155+

We are discussing the 944 Turbo. (951)

I'd take a 944 over a lot of cars, but not here.

I completlely agree which makes me wonder what a 944 Turbo would be capable of now if Porsche built them with today's tech.

Porsche without a second though.

Which is right around where a stock Supra TT is.
