Question How many 951 actually REGISTERED?

Ok, I can see how many were built or ball park, but I am curious to know how many 951 are still on the road and active registered; not stripped down track cars, parts cars, etc.

Is it possible to find this info out?

Not sure but I'd like to know as well. Mine is currently registered- as a garage queen that is!

Mine Just passed Inspection. I drive it once a week. Hopefully by 2020 I'll have 100k on the clock at this rate.

One here, driven daily up until late last month when the coilover mount failed. That was repaired quickly but I haven't bled my brakes since then (trailing arm had to come off so everything attached had to come off) Although I have driven it 2x since

To be honest, I have been really enjoying driving a car that takes 87 octane, is slow, and gets excellent MPG so I have not been in a huge rush... although today I think I might finally bleed em...

Yep. It's a small town right below Frederick MD. So you could say I am representing Clarksburg. Next time you guys are passing by, let's meet up for coffee and kick the tires around or something.

Currently registered, though not smogged. Working on it. Participated in 6 auto-x's & two track days. Drove about 2k on it this year. Enjoyed every mile.

1 951 here, 1 driven by my boss at work, 8 951 drivers saved on my phone (not including yours Todd), probably about a dozen on my email list... many including RL members, many just locals.

Honestly there are dozens of 951's each week that pass through Zotz and Redbone which I've never crossed paths with here on RL. I would imagine just in the broad orlando vicinity there has to be close to 100 of them, probably the majority being registered vehicles. I think right now at work there are 6 total including mine, my boss's, Derek (Opeth), a red one owned by Steven Eberhardt, a black one owned by Jose DelaTorre, and a white one owned by Charlie Fizer who also owns a couple more 951's and S2's. I don't think they are on RL.

You need to move back down here to O-town buddy

I try to run mine at least once a week on sunny days of course but around here, I see 1 maybe 2 951 a year if that.

Elliott - That's cool that you can see so many 944/951 out there. If I know that many ppl, we'd have gathering like every other month or something.
