Default O/T: Picture of Speed Yellow 944

Who in this forum has the picture with the guy chillin on the front of a yellow 944 talking on a phone. I found an old picture of a yellow 944 in an old magazine and I wanted to see it was the same car. I also found this kit they used to sell.

Hmm, why do you think that company doesn't sell that hatch unit anymore? Because it's UGLY! It's so 80's looking and reduces visability. Unless it's reinforced it would be flimsy as hell. Then if reinforced, most likely weighed more then a normal hatch. Kind of looks like a cheap aftermarket version of a Fast and Furious bolt on. (Hey, I bolted all this crap on my car to look faster... why does it go slower?)
Now I do like the bumper, it's kind a cool lookin.
Wing and lip spoiler together? Won't that creat more drag? Who is a fluid engineer on here that can explain the flow of air over a setup like that.
Just ranting... most of the time there is a reason that Porsche does stuff and designs stuff certain ways and reasons they don't.

I think there used to be a Porsche **** site. There was a yellow 944 with a girl on roller skates and a guy. The scene might have started out with the guy on a cell phone.

I think this might be the one you're talking about. It's not mine, but when I saw I had to save it to my computer.

OP wants to know if the yellow strosek 944 is the same as the gangsta's yellow 944. I doubt it.

Thanks Dinman, that was the picture that I was looking for. I don't think it has anything to do with the strosek. There was just a yellow 944 in the same magazine with a caption about the owner and car below it. If it was the same car as in the pic by Dinman, I would have scanned it. It doesn't look the same though.

Its clear that the guy is sitting on a rare "rally edition" 944. it says it on the windshield so it must be true

a 944 would probably last about 30 minutes in a real rally lol
