No hear me on this, for those of you who claim the 951 to be unreliable, sell your frigging car it does not deserve you, I am convinced that those who claim that 944 turbo is not dependable it's because they dont understand the dynamics of the 951, Iam by far less smart than any of you guys that can fabricate build or design engine parts, but every single 951 that i have own were and are reliable, is a matter of anticipation and tuning simple as that and that my friends is something very few can do. For the pessimists in Spanish there is a term for guys like that "Babosos" for all those babosos on the board there is a kia waiting for you

fixed [evidently, i was typing too fast]... pardon me.
i never meant to call it a junk car swap meet.
to say such a thing would have been totally uncalled for and an afront to this fine automobile and her owners.

Why is everybody busting on the 944 turbo. The guy did get away. Didn't he? He could have even received some pointers on how to keep a 25 year old car running from the list or Clarks garage for all we know. I would have liked to see the police catch him with a 944 turbo squad car. But I certainly choke this up as a victory for the 944 turbo.

My bet is that he got the 951 for cheap and now got a quote from the local mechanic for a clutch job. In his desperation he turned to the internet and searched if it could be true that this job could cost so much. His world slowly fell apart when he saw countless of forum threads with everything from headgaskets that blow every mile to timing belts that break and complicated rear wheel bearings demanding more special tools.
It was not long before he turned to the path of crime. Another victim added to the long list of 951 desperados.

does a cripple guy need to apologize for being handicap NO, he can always swap to a wheel chair. My first 951 I had the same issues but once you understand the car is like a wife, have you seen guys divorcing many times because they dont understand women, I owned a reliable 350rwhp and still own a reliable 350rwhp, daily driver, if you couldn't do is ok, but there no need to blame the car for the
owner's shortcomings .
btw I have proof of my 951's it's documented and I do my own tuning

Funny. I was venting my coolant system last night on a industrial street near my place (didn't want to wake up the kids or neihbors), polices stopped and ask for my license and also did a registration check up on my car. They where cool afterwards, asking tons of questions on my car.
Cops loves the 944 in my area, I had two of them that came to check out my old 944 when it was for sale.

nobody's busting on the 944T. the RL patrons from all over took the time to poke a little fun at the car whose reputation for tuning gremlins and costly repairs (that border on the obscene) precedes it. this is not a referendum against this fine auto.... and we're not laughing at the owners, but laughing with you.... and even many 944T owners couldn't hold back but to join the chorus in a bit of ribbing.

Maybe, he chose the 951 because he thought it was the best getaway car, lol
Ever watch those police videos on TV? It's always some pickup truck or van losing control at speed and/or when turning. That wouldn't happen with the 951, lol
I also like the blurb about: "using an 'expensive' getaway car"
