But it's not a 944. Hope you guys understand

Sorry for the poor quality pics - working with an old camera. 86 930, 32k, all options (Sport Seats, full leather, LSD, etc). I'm the third owner and the car is an absolute dream. It's nice to be back in the game!

 

Whoa mama... I like everything except for the long shifter they had...

 

I hate you

 

That's the car that made me love cars.

BB.

 

That car looks perfect! Very nice buy. I'm sure its a lot of fun but remember to be careful in the twisties with one of those.

Don't ask me how I know

 

Wow. I see you're making Ol' Farmer happy.

Very nice!

 

what do you mean? do they have bad handling?
and i agree, beautiful car

 

Engine in the back, etc... They don't have really bad handling, they're just trickier than our cars.

 

if you say so. im not good with physics, but id thought engine in the back, makeing rear heavier, would lessen the odds of spinning. yes? no? am i an idiot?

 

Wow, that's beautiful! Good luck!

No, increase odds of tail stepping out especially throttle off.

Absolutely gorgeous car, looks to never have been sat in, WOW!!!!!

 

The bigger issue with the handling is the power delivery. It is very aggressive, even in bone-stock cars. Compared to a 951, the performance on boost is border-line violent, not progressive and easily controllable. Combine this "on or off" kind of performance with a significant rear weight bias and the car becomes quite a handful. It literally feels like a completely different car above 3K.

Ergo-wise, it's a 1960s sports car, and there's no getting around that - the entire 944 series is superior in that regard. The visibility is fantastic - and the performance is absolutely mind-boggling, given the fact that it's 21 years old (and the basic 930 design is over 30).

The fit and finish is quite a bit better on the 930, though - save possibly a few 968s I've seen.

That rocks my man, good move

 

Nice!!! That's basically my dream car right there. If you don't mind my asking, how much did that set you back? It looks mint.

Enjoy!!

 

...very nice!
