I know when 944s first came out though in 1983 they were priced at a touch under $20k. Still a lot of dough back then though.

No joke. yesterday evening on my way home I got chased by...
...a prius.
It was suburban route99 thru downtown Seattle and I finally shook him off at 90mph, but he hung in there for a few miles.
Nice to see a prius being driven with some passion.

My car had a sticker price of over $53k in 1991. If you account for inflation that means my vehicle would be selling for over $82k today. Not cheap by anyone's standards.

The attention I get is more from car guys asking about the custom work I have done, story behind it, what color am I gonna paint it etc. The other week I had a guy ask me if it was a Acura.......lord help me.

My car gets a lot of attention too!
Some of my friends hate it, because they have these High Power (350+hp) Saab Viggens, or Brand New GTIs.. and my car is 25 years old with less than 150hp, but gets all the attention...
Fact is that 95% of all people know nothing about cars; To them: my car is a Rare Bright Red Sports Car, and is probably either a Porsche or Ferrari... $$$
But I also like my car, and stop to check it out all the time!

My fiance drove my 951 the other day. She is pretty at it now. At Quik Trip a guy was checking her out. As he was leaving the store(before me) he said "Nice Car". She just laughed. When she told me I just laughed about it. So I would say they do get some attention.

I don't really get much attention. I stopped by to see some former co-workers recently and they asked if i had any toys. "Yeah I'm playing with a little Porsche now..." They lit up.."what, a PORSCHE!!" The car was out front so i said yeah it's in the parking lot...when they walked up to it "oh....that Porsche" and walked away. If it wasn't a 911 they didn't care.

yeah i get asked alot at gas stations what model it is due to the badges being removed, i had two teens argue if it was an rx7 or a corolla and it has been mistaken for and old celica, honda, and my favorite nissan 240? mostly though the people say stuff like nice rims or nice paint.

A lot of attention in my red NA in this little hick town. Everybody was always staring. Not another one like it for a while. Then a couple weeks ago I added a black 951 to the corral, now everyone's messed up. Same driver, different car. WTF?!
