It's only April. I hope I remember these fine contenders for Post of the Year, 2011!

true,


and as far as the car being ok. perhaps i got a bit ahead of myself. not to mention getting into a car with such an instantly, sordid reputation... the buyer is a brave soul, as is anyone who modifies a 944 to begin with.

I'm not going to lie, I'd drive that car, as is, as a daily driver, everyday until it died. Then rebuild it with a big Eaton on top and one of those funny car intakes. Then it would be perrrrrrrfect.

Well definitely a bad example! But rest easy, nobody here thinks that a 924/944 V8, is suppose to look like that!

I starting to think that really answer to this is to drop a 200k mile used 951 engine into a nice 67 Camaro and post it over on ‘their’ board….
