Porsche 944's

[Raxe]

I had a 924S and my dad had a 944, they're nothing spectacular. Not worth the hassle IMO.

I have a 86 944 as you can see in my profile pic. There a blast to drive and sorry to say it but when its dry its better then the IX but in the snow IX ftw. I love it and it can out handle just about any 80's or 90's cars.

I love the 944, 924, 928, 951

And a Big fan of the huge 3.0 twincam 4cyl..

The 951 is so under rated.

They are a transaxle?

Weird. My bud has an 1978 Alfa Romeo alfetta with a transaxle. It takes forever for the tranny to warm up, so you have to baby it for short trips

Probably wayy more reliable than the factory setup too!

I know a guy w/a Jag XJS. He swapped the V12 for a big block 454 on N02. Makes 2x the hp and is 100% more reliable. Auto-x's that shit too!

Ok, let me rephrase. Any Porsche with the engine hovering around the front wheels = Not a real Porsche. Any Porsche with the engine hovering around the rear wheels = real, iconic Porsche.

Like I said, they can be very nice looking cars, and I don't hate them. Shit, I was looking at one a month or so back to swap my Audi 3B into.

Okay, I'll stop having fun reminiscing about how great my car was.

Not once did I say they were bad cars, or handled poorly, or weren't fun. You are taking my words completely out of context.

When I think of Porsche, the first thing that comes to mind is 930, a 901, a 356, 993. They are the iconic "Porsche". Mid/Rear engine, rear drive.

I'm not saying the the 924, the 944, the 928, the 968, or the Cayenne aren't great/fun/good looking cars. They just don't fulfill, TO ME, what a Porsche is.

Get it?

I know exactly what you're saying. I think you're taking this about 10000% too seriously.

What? That doesn't even make sense. There are only 2 Porsches (body styles) that are front engine RWD. 1. The 944, and other of the same body style. 2. The Pamamera.

All other Porsches are rear engine rear drive.

Lets not forget this Porsche. It is front engine and rear wheel drive...
