So what is up with that slalom speed for the 951 vs 944?

 

Yeah, no prob! I don't know if the factory released N/A cup cars like they did with the Turbos tho...

 

I think there were 924 Cup cars... not sure about 944 Cup.

 

I think there are NA cup cars. Certainly there's the S2 Firehawk cars.

Don't forget, the turbo did have some more power but it ain't freakin' magic!!

 

To give you an insight, im not surprised. My N/A 85 model 944 does 0-100km/h (0-60mph) in 5.9 seconds, which is the same as a stock standard subaru impreza wrx which has a turbo. I put this theory into motion and dragged my mate who has a wrx. We were pretty much even he had a bout 2m on me at the end which is probs only 100ms. My car has no trouble at all hitting 200km/h (120mph roughly) it is smooth fast acceleration all the way up

 

Thats a fast N/A.....

 

MM i bought it from an old bloke who had 2 other 944's and a 951, so i dont know maybe some aftermarket work in mine but nothing visible that i can see.

 

full interior?

thats a very fast n/a- turbo territory. a stock RoW isnt that fast and would require some pretty decent amounts of money thrown at it. you should really find out what the PO did to it!

my '80 924 turbo was 7.7 secs stock according to the factory specs. it wore a lot of fibreglass and was definitely quicker than my current 944 but still i think 0-100kph was only about mid-high 6's.

 

im getting confused. theres definitely 944 turbo cup cars but are you guys talking about factory produced cup cars or racing series calling them cup cars?

the only cup cars from this era that i'm familiar with is the 944 turbo cups and the 964 cup cars. the only special versions of the 924 i know of are a few turbo and non-turbo Rallye versions in the late 70's, the 933 D prod's and the carrera gt variants.

edit: dont worry, i read the link in the OP >_< i take it from those model comparisons they were all '88's since the 924S and the 944 have the same power, they're using the world engine and the absence of the S2.

 

johnnykrand-- I'm really curious as to what's under the hood in terms of performance. Are your rear seats removed along with a lot of other weight?

I've got a slightly modified 2005 WRX wagon and its ridiculous how much faster it is than my 1983 944 N/A. Not trying to call you out, but I'm really curious as a 5.9 0-60 for an n/a is amazing.

 

BS....

 

I'm referring to factory versions, not cars prepared for a present day series. I was told there were 924 cup cars, not sure if it's true though.

 

Someone had to say it. Unless we're talking 60 kilometers/hour.

You couldn't do 0-60 any other way (except perhaps you drive off a cliff).

 

I don't want to sound like a dick, but I can't wait to see the day someone comes on here with a fast N/A and quiets down all the people who think it can't be done. I've personally seen a 200+whp 2.5l 8v N/A that probably could come close to sub 6 second 0-60 times with a full interior. Too bad he doesn't care about what other people think and doesn't post on here.

So my point is, don't immediately discount someone for saying they have a fast N/A 944. Sure, it's highly unlikely on this forum, but not impossible.

 

Ya that seems pretty fast 0-100, hell my old EJ22t subaru legacy wagon is about as fast 0-100 as my 944, and it only has 160 hp vs the 220 hp in a wrx. Of course up top the porsche pulls away no problem
