Man that's just wrong, in all the right ways!!!! You have one amazing stable of sexy there!!! Engine **** for sure!!!!

And I see a 4th tucked back in the first pic. What's that one?

Does anyone else find it strange just how many of us own more than one of these???? It's like we're the 944 1%ers. I've never seen a collection of people who own so many multiples of the same car! I've honestly wondered if like 80% of 944s are owned by 20% of us that own them... I think I just postulated a total math fail, but I know you guys know what I mean!!

What is it about these cars!!!?!?!?!??

You are one lucky SOB, I hope to one day be able to put on a similar car show! I'm 1/2 way there! Course I'd likely place runner up with my luck.

PS: What color are the blue ones?

Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection!

You may be onto something. I have six myself(2 86 944,2 87 944S,1 89 944, and my money hungery 87 951), and a couple more in just parts laying around. It's because these cars are the $hit. The best handling car for the money spent. They look way cool and classy when cleaned up, and they get fairly decent fuel mileage when not into the turbo. Oh and can outrun a V8 muscle car with a few upgrades with a four banger and boost. And all the support to keep them going always helps. It's just a car that was ahead of its time, and never seems to be out of style. When people seen me in my 951 at the gas stations they would ask if it was a Ferrari. I would replay with it's a Porsche, but say it right. One dude started taking to me as if it was a RX7 and I had to stop him at APEC seals, I said this isn't a Mazda, see it has quarter windows? He asked what it was and I replied it's a Porsche. It also feels good to own a Porsche. The 944/951 series is more then a status thing, it's an engineering masterpiece that even corvette finally had to copy the layout. It's just good business.

Thanks guys! yeah I agree with MAGK944 I currently own 6 944's, you can see the red 86 turbo in the background and I have a 86 N/A being parted out and there is another 91 cabby in my shop being worked on now. would have loved to have the 91 cabby too because its white so I could have been patriotic and set them up in red white and blue order.
951Dreams I believe the blue is Baltic blue.

Thanks Max I was going go the LS1 route with my blue coupe but had all the turbo parts laying around. I dig the 968 motor you got there, very nice. I am planning for my next build a 3liter 16v turbo...

Mr. Max, i see a theme that you have going. And what I see is a draining process on multiple bank accounts and possible multiple credit card debt increase per each project, and each project seems to be way above and beyond what any normal person would or could do. Are you from another planet? Just a question. Everything you have done looks over the top on the very amazingly nice side of the spectrum. Thank you for sharing your photos, very inspirational.

LOL....!

Dude....., you just called it right on the button.

But little did you know, Max stands for Maximum.

From now on it's 'Mr. Max'.

Mr. Max, do your pressures need checking...?
Mr. Max, can I help buckle you in...?
Mr. Max, do you need a bag of ice while I'm outside the track...?

Oh man...., I'm gonna get some mileage outta this....!

Engine bay looks great.

How much filling was done to get such a smooth surface on the engine bay, or should I say what was done?

Yes, it's generally known as the Money Tree. Eventually the leaves get a bit thin though....oh, you meant Planet...
