There's this thread on Pelican right now that's asking which car handles better, a 944 or a 911. The obvious answer is the 944 especially after reading the 911 Turbo Vs. 944 Turbo S article that Danno posted. Now what happened is someone on the 911 board saw the post and started a thread convincing everyone on the 911 board to vote for the 911 as the better handler, so now the poll shows 200+ votes for the 911 Vs. 20 for the 944! Just clicky here and vote...because we know what the truth is!

And here's the evil 911 thread:

I think we're doomed to lose this one. There are a lot more 911 owners out there than us.

 

I refuse to stoop to there level. Let them believe what they wish. I'll do my best to prove them wrong on the track!

Bah, you're too serious it's all in good fun.

 

You know this is really funny.
I am 944 guy. Have been for years. First 924S then 944 Turbo S now 84 944 NA on the track....

I have just started racing in the 944-spec series and about 65% of the drivers are new 944 guys. These were either 911 or 914 guys. You know what the first thing they say is..... "Wow that 944 is a fun car. Great handling. Much easier to drive than my 911/914. Wow I can really trail brake in this thing. This 944 racing this going to be fun!"

Give the other P-car boys a chance to drive a 944 (even the lowly 944 NA) in anger they will quickly see what delightfully little car it is.

IMHO A 944 NA is MUCH harder to drive fast at track than a 944 Turbo.... Why? you don't have any power to make-up for bad habits and errors. With power you can get fast laps with alot of mistakes. A well driven 944 NA can be scary fast a at track if you can maintain corner speed.
Of couse once you learn to use an 944 NA to match stock 944 turbos at the track you can then get a 944 turbo and SPANK EVERYONE WITH HANDLING AND POWER!!

That is precisely why I got a NA as a track car. I was tracking my M3 and besides not wanting to put it in the wall it was also fostering the above mentioned bad habits. Once I feel my limits exceed the car's I'll be ready to up the ante. And I'm going to the track tomorrow! Woohoo! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

O my LORD. why would he say such aweful things?

 

I guess my post about my '89 951 vs. my brothers '88 911 and Danno's resulting post of "A Tale of Two Turbos" (to answer my question)stirred the pot a little.

OK, I posted and did my part but it looks like we are goners:

911 - 237
944 - 44
