None of my friends understand why I love my n/a, not that I care but I should refer them to this thread.

Yes they definitely can be a bunch of fun! You don't need high-horsepower cars all the time for track events. Rarely do people get all of a car's performance out, especially if they drive the car to the track (don't want to write the car off).

It's funny because many non-Porsche enthusiasts would believe the 944 to not be really 'track worthy' (known this from hearing people at various track events; I'm a photographer). Boy, are they wrong!

I love 944 na cars! It's so satisfying to drive a slow car fast.

A few friends and I picked up a running 944 for a hundred bucks and went racing. We have about $2k in the car and are doing our 2nd race in August, a true 24hr at VIR. The car really is a great handling car and with everything stripped out of it is decently quick. I just picked up another 944 to use as a DD and it feels like a pig comparatively due to the weight and worn shocks.

It's a great car to learn in and is easy to drive at the limit. You really have to screw up to spin it. My 355 on the other hand is a little trickier but a lot more fun. It costs about what we spent on the whole 944 just in maintenance for a year, though.
