Agreed, lovely! By the way, is that your green 944 in the photo? What Porsche color is that? Viper, Signal Green, Conda? Saludos, z356

 

Yes thats fantastic, we where at an airfield yesterday with Bough cars and i really had a hard time just hanging on to her in the Spyder, it was a really high speed track, so i didnīt get mytch out of tha trackday modification on the 944, but a fun day out with the wife is like that at our house:-)

 

to the TEAM.

 

No its not my car, mine is GT3 Orange, i think its called C08. The green is a freinds car build the same way but his car is a Turbo, i donīt know what the color are called.

This to runs fantastsic, the 944 really are the most underestimated car of the century, fantastic reliable, and really easy to make at fast track car.
hera is a picture of the couple :-)

 

Well, that orange color is also terrific! One of my favorites.

Re: 944's. I totally agree with you. I have had over 18 Porsches in my life. With the exception of my latest (the Spyder), the 944 and 944 Turbo I bought new (factory delivery in Germany in the 1980's) were the most capable vehicles I have ever owned. The first time I was at a driving event at the track with the 944, it was truly an epiphany! After years with early 912's and 911's, always in fear of the dreaded oversteer, the 944 was light years ahead in giving the average driver the confidence to go faster and take calculated risks on the track. And in the hands of an experienced or pro driver, they were nearly unrivaled. I was part of a support team of a SCCA Showroom Stock team first with 944, then 944 Turbos, in the Playboy & Escort Series back in the mid-eighties. Other that the pesty, wide tired C4 era Corvettes, nothing came close to challenging us.

Even these many years later, I have still very fond memories of - and respect for - these now often unheralded 944 Porsche models!

z356: What a nice story i can see we feel the same way about 944. I can remember my self as a 15 year old kid in 1985, when i lost my jaw after being passed by a 944 in my hometown, i didnīt know at the time what it was, but it became a dream car. But the first 944 i ever bourght is this one, Trackday build before i got it so i never got the experience of a original 944, before a workshop visit, i got to borrow a 944 with over 300.000 km on the clock. It was not restored in anyway just serviced right, nothing major ever changed, polished offen, parked in garage and driven everyday, well not winter.
My good what a ride it was really incredible, it still run and drive better than most new cars, what a quality. Mine is completely emptied, nothing in it i donīt use, alittle body parts change to plastic Bilstein track suspension, original drivetrain and bam you have a very capable and reliable track day car for no money at all.

In my book the most underestimated car ind the world.
