Lightbulb Lookinf for articles on 944S2

Does anyone of you has any links or articles they would like to share with me??

I know Porsche Magazine of last month made an excellent article on tips to look for when buying a 944.

But I'm looking for road test from car&Driver, Road&Track etc...

Thansk to everyone.

Cheers,

guy_geo,

I'm selling a bunch of old issues of VW & Porsche mags and a few have road tests and reviews of the S2 (as well as all the other 944's, 911's, etc). If you are interested in picking any up to have the hardcopy to show with your car or just collect, let me know!

That is the 17th artical, I see that states (and this one shows) that the S2 uses forged pistons as opposed to the cast pistons of the S.

Here's a short Road & Track article:






Okay, this isn't a road test article, but it has a lot of information on the S2:

I'm going to bump this up to the front because if I missed it then others must have too.
Brochures & spec's I certainly haven't seen before and which I've been looking for for ages.
Thanks for going to the trouble to load these up and I hope others will enjoy them as much as I did

Theres a book available, i forgot what its called.. . I have around here somewhere. Called Ultimate 944 or something gold, or something like that. Someone has to know which one im talking about. Its got the red 944 on the cover.

Basically its a compilation of dozens and dozens of articles on all the 944s. Great comparisons from all the magazines, reviews, etc... Crap, if someone knows the title, you can probably snag one off ebay cheap.
