Default '83 Euro 944 Question...

Just picked up a 1983 944 Euro Model.

Can someone help me locate the hp & fuel economy #s???

Also, what are the major differences between the Euro & US models??? Supposedly the car is a screamer...

Thanks,

Cajun

Euro is way better - better styling, compression ratio is higher, etc.

A very good FAQ on 944s there.

I see that you like to turbo charge N/A 944s....perhaps we should chat sometime. I have a couple of close buddies with a speed shop who are already on me to throw the factory turbo from my 930 in the 944...

Cajun, how much bastardization did your Euro go through?

I have an '84 that was converted to US regs in '85 in Holland and these idiots totally screwed the car. I'm trying to get it back to full Euro specs now...will post pics soon.

I am not too sure about what has been done to the car. I am taking it as a partial trade for my non-running '76 911s. The car is really clean and is a strong runner. So far it has checked out fine.

I will let you know what I find out about her & try to post some pics when she arrives....
