I can't stand it anymore. I am selling my '88 944 auto and getting a 951.
I am just about done with replacing the damper disc, after that I will replace the timing belt and water pump, tune up, detail job, then she's on the market!

Good call. I know it's easy to get attached to your car. I loved my 85/5 but I always wanted more. I real happy with the decision to sell it and buy the S2.

I'm not going to defend the auto, but-- seeing as you are replacing a 700$ part-as well as belts, WP.. drive it thru the winter and enjoy the "new parts" feeling until you can find a suitable replacement. I've been looking for the "right" 944/951 for over 10 month!!

I say sell the N/A first. With an auto trans, it might be a little harder to unload. You wouldnt wanna buy another car, then be stuck with your old one for months, etc.
That said, I did (almost) the same thing. Sold my 88 N/A, bought an 89 S2. I didn't want the turbo with higher insurance, and the lag! But from an auto to a Turbo...man will you feel the difference!

I will be following your same path hopefully by the end of next summer. I plan to work my *** off this next year, and either sell my 924S or keep it hidden away at my dads garage and buy myself a 951. By then i may transfer out of my college in Trenton NJ and go back home and school somewhere local so i can work my finacnes a little easier. Im hoping for a '88 944 Turbo S or something similar.

It's always good to start off on a 944na then move up to a 951. At least thats what i did. I think if i had the 951 first i would of killed myself.
