Nice choice of car!! Good to see a simple 924 getting attention..
That is Hwy 84 in Woodside, CA. Back in my youth, my 79 Scirocco and 88 Prelude both knew that road well.
Great audio...sounds just like my 1980 924! My 924 N/A was my first Porsche, and I don't care what the purists and the haters say...I love it! Thanks for the video.
Everyone is talking about how nice the road is, I'm sitting here stuck in Canada where it snows half the year.
Good to hear that more Porsche content is coming! Great road to start with!
Holy steering input Batman!
Tedward my 90 f250 got more lol
haha i bet!
They are a true drivers car with no power stearing.. The rack ratios are a bit lower so you can apply better torque..
I recognize that road! You were on Skyline and turned left on CA 84!
Ahh, La Honda to Woodside. Great road choice!
Where was this filmed? Looks sooo nice! Dreamland
Looks like Grizzly Peak behind Berkeley/Oakland
I remember when I was in high school waaaay back in the day, one of my friends had a 924
did he get laid alot? that badge will get you laid
I had the 79, it handles great that's about it. It's low to the ground and no power steering so you can take a turn at 60ish mph. Other then that nothing more then a Volkswagen. you can actually fit a same year engine out of Volkswagen in this.
duh the 924 was originally made by VW the blueprints
This was in response to who ever said the original 924 was one of the better made Porsches blah blah blah.. Scroll down Jack ass.
+Sin Vida actually the 87/88 924s (in America) had 944 everything under it and the 924 was lighter resulted in this car beating the non turbo 944's. This wasn't the case in Europe because Porsche detuned the engines in the last two years of the 924. The power didn't change in the US because Porsche didn't want to spend millions to emissionize the detuned version.
Una chulada de auto
Start buying your 924S's Special Edition, if you can find one for sale. Less than 500 Le mans/ Special Editions were made for U.S. market for 1988 year only, and any early or Turbo 924. Magnus Walker is buying them by the handful. The 944S2's in stock form clean and unmolested, and 88-89 944 Turbo and Turbo S models, all going up in value. They are obscured and in the back of the list and creeping up in value. Without the 924 there would be no 944 or 968. The 924 saved Porsche from going under and so did the Boxster. A lot of fun and practical cars. Buy a clean unmolested now while they are still affordable!
Is this the 924 variant with the Audi Engine?
what's the purpose of blurring out your plates? Everybody else can see them when you are driving on the street.
which one of them is the real Road magazine guy? xD
Can u do a jeep srt on road?plsz
hard to believe you can pick up a 924 for under a grand in good shape in some places.
hell yeah 3 years ago i picked up a 82 924 for 600 bucks and it ran good!
Will Harris they aren't bad cars, (if you can find a good one) I'd like to get a Turbo model.. with the Dog leg gear box. (since it's harder to find a 928 in manual)
my 82 was only 600 ran good but needed body work and paint
Where was this filmed? The road is gorgeous!
Leuffaoosj
Speeder?
When it evolved into the 968 it became brilliant.
I have the same Gotti wheels on my red '82.
Two Brads! Hopefully he can drive a bit better
What's the difference from the 924 and the 944 Porsche I have a 85 944 Porsche
Exterior styling, engine options and some suspension tweaks in the later models
James Nunez it was the somewhat affordable porsche. Think of it that era's Cayman. Your 944 which is shares its platform was the upmarket Grand Touring model and in my opinion is much better looking...
Chad Singleton yeah I agree 100 percent
James Nunez oh and hold on to it. Mid 80s porches are from there respective "golden era". Drive it enjoy it but do your self a favor and hold on to it. ;)
Chad Singleton will do 5 speed Manuel to top it off as well
To sum-up this vid : Too quiet for a Porsches .. 2:43 awesome yellow bimmer
Nah, if you're just going to dismiss the 924 then the biggest star of the video is the Cobra that drives by at the beginning.
lol highway 84 is not a backroad...

looks like a toyota corolla
wait wat
The worst Porsche in history, practically its VW which speaks for itself...
It'll spank many earlier Porsches..
eyesrightout Have you ever owned one? It may be VW/Audi parts in it, but it's still a great car. It handles fantastic. It saved Porsche from bankruptcy. The 924 deserves way more respect than it's given.
i disagree, i think the 914 is the worst porsche made, the 924 is a fun first porsche until you
start having problems like mine did, starting problems then clutch went out.
It's mostly Porsche than VW the engine is a Porsche design people hate the 924 yet it's practically the replacement for the 914
notting wrong with VW's mate .the older models anyway.
