For 0-60 in 6.0 seconds, you'll be looking at the turbo models. A stock or lightly modded turbo can pretty much manage that - but a word of caution: if you're addicted to 0-60 times, consider looking elsewhere, because a 944 will never be the best return for your money in terms of 0-60 times. That's not what they're about. You could pour money into it to get great acceleration off the line, but the same money would always get you from 0-60 faster in something else like a Corvette.

It's time to start talking numbers - what kind of money are you prepared/hoping/expecting to shelll out? You could buy a decent early turbo for perhaps 8K but you will have to feed it money to keep it doing 0-60 in 6.0 reliably. Have a browse around here to get a feel for what parts cost on these cars, especially under the "Engine" section - you will likely have to buy a lot of that stuff, and more, early in your ownership of an $8-$10K car.

If you're cool with those costs, and the modest 0-60 times, then go for it. At speed these cars are very special

he's right. my car has about 163~164 mph of top end.

accelleration ? mehhhhh.



+ 1 trillion. the one crazy thing my car doesn't do ? *drip oil from anywhere.

a stock 951 or S2 will do it under 6 seconds. if you're good you can get a 944S to do it too. that said, where the 951 shines is once already rolling...fat torque punch once you hit 3000rpm.

a stock RoW 931 S2 does 0-60 in 7 sec and will do low 6's or quicker depending on mods. my 932 with all fibreglass panels and hood felt ridiculously quick. much quicker than my 944.

Agreed.....I've run synthetic for 7 years and have no oil leaks

I would steer you toward a well sorted S2 ... then do some suspension upgrades like bilstien coilovers. And of course 17" wheels and great rubber . Then just maintain it . These cars have superb handling .
