Talk to me about Porsche 944s
 

Well I often consider where I will go from hondas ...

I would really like to build a muscle car with and put a turbo to a big V8 using a Holley blow through carb. Simple, yet powerful ... but the realization of how much body work /paint/money I would have to put into an old car usually kills that idea.

I also see myself in a late 80s 944 turbo. I would like to know more about these cars... mostly any inherent problems, ease of upgrades, how can they be tuned, what are the HP limits of the stock motors , how similar is the NA car, etc.

Please share what you know. I would imagine the goal would be at least 400whp .... 550 would be perfect.

944 is ------- sexy as ----(probably my most favroite car for astetic reasons). get a 928 and youll get your v8 and you can pretend you're ------- tony montana!

Re: Talk to me about Porsche 944s

I love the 944's. Almost bought one as my first car, wish I would have. :'(


The motors are complete ---- in those things thats about it. Take it out and put in something cool and non-VW

Re: Talk to me about Porsche 944s
 

What can you swap in there besides a V8? Are there any Porsche turbo motors that will bolt in there that aren't complete pieces of ----?

porsche 944 turbo was greater

Re: Talk to me about Porsche 944s
 

same here.

I love the way they look. And they're about the only way I could afford to get into a porsche. I knew the NA cars were pretty lame with something like 140whp or so .... I kinda thought the turbo version was closer to 250 and prolly a stronger motor .... and from what I have read they handle like slot cars ...

1995-1999 Saab 9000 Aero.

Faster acceleration than a 911 from 30 to 80...
Stock bottom end good for 450+ HP.
Unlike most Honda's, you can actually carry more than one friend. And some gear.

It's the ultimate sleeper.
