Nice pictures! I didn't know they made a fast 318i. Is there something special under the hood?

no, its just fast as a momentum car I suppose...

318's are fast in a 944 n/a kinda way in that they handle exceptionally well and feel fast when you drive it regardless of its 0-60 time.
They also share the fact that there isn't much you can do as far as horsepower mods go, without laying down a fat wad of dough.

Nice combo! Looks a little like my garage

My Bimmer and 944 have at least these attributes in common: they are both about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on and they are both built like brick sh!thouses. The advantage of the BMW is that it doesn't give my wife motion sickness to ride in it

Very nice pics, Tarheel. I have to say, you definitely have THE nicest 944S that I have ever seen! I looked at more pictures at your P-car online site. "Heidi" is beautiful!

You should called them Slow and Slower. Not sure which is the slower of the two!

318 and the word fast can NOT be used in the same sentence!

If the 318 is fast than the Chevette must be a land rocket!

M3's are "fast" (and even then I'd only qualify 03+ models) All other 3's I'd say are "quick" at best. 318?

But anyway, the pics are very very nice

I really like the halos he's running... The actual headlamps are super white, and the Halo's are blue xenon colored. They match the car and give it an updated look!

NEVER on a Porsche though...
