I love 944. Bought my first one with 163hp in 2003. Last year i bought a 89er Turbo final Edition with 250hp. Gets a bigger turbo with 300hp this spring and ready is my dream car. ❤❤❤ 944 for life ❤❤❤
Ive recently delved into the long beloved Porsche market and I've noticed that these 944 turbos are showing nit to be to exspensive yet. Its definitely a lagging indicator as I know these will take off soon becoming harder to find a clean well kept 80s sportscar. I really want a Porsche, and this seems like the cheapest route for an entry level street rod 😮 I may have to join the fun soon as I also like to party 🎉😂
When I was in HS in 1985 a friend of mine got me a job as a car jockey for Porsche Audi before I went to college. My first day I was driving a brand new 944. Eventually got to drive the 944 turbo HOLY SMACK!!! What fantastic memories!!!
I had an 89 turbo and you're right, you don't need to drive fast to enjoy the car. These cars were great canyon carvers and the handling on my 89 was superb. I'll see you on BAT!
Beautiful car, such a unique style and body lines, and my favorite-looking Porache . Great 50/50 balance, these cars are a joy to drive and it not about 0-60 but about driving enjoyment.
I had one like the Sixteen Candles car, an 85-1/2, but with phone dials... So sweet. Had that from age 17-21. All my friends were jealous. When I got it, I had saved for a CRX-si, but then saw that used 944s were the same price, around $15K. This was 1990, so about 30-35K today. Great fucking deal. I traded a beat-up Saab for $9K, talked the dealer down to 13.5K, paid $4500 cash. Amazing deal. Car was one-owner (a doctor who drove it to work for 4 yrs., never over 90. Had 35K miles on it. I put another 40K on it, driving it all over the USA. So great.
It’s the 944 N/A, and the S that have the rubber bumpers. I have a NA and personally love the rubber bumpers for some reason. I understand how you feel about not ruining it. They are so nice and perfect. You made it look beautiful!!
Ok..glad you back but homie you gotta start your videos of with some music..You always had the best intro music..Good Review of a car that Ive always wanted. We have some good example of some out here on the East Coast as well.. Welcome Back..👍🏽🏁
Nice car! Sold my '89 994T for a '09 911S Cab. Wish I had both in my garage. My setup was similar but with MAF and larger turbo. Same Lindsey exhaust and their wastegate. Cheers
That is one clean 944. Im gonna have to make a video of s2 convertible that i just bought, super modified 88 turbo engine 44-51 and matching transmission swap. This car is pure track car , you name it this one has it , previous owner told me dyno 380hp , wich im gonna confirm soon. Im still not sure what i bought 😁. Oh and yes KW V3 suspension is sick my has it wich i realized yesterday.
perfect car with the turbo upgrade. I only see one flaw, it needs genuine Porsche wheels, preferably the phone dial ones. But it's the perfect car and exactly what the chassis needs, more kick. 10/10 completely jealous!
There was a nice Turbo S in Georgia with 375HP and a full complement of other mods, white on red. I think $20 or $25k at the time that I almost bought.
For such a beautiful car I hope you reroute the fuel lines so that they don't run over the exhaust. Would hate to see another one burn down because of old rubber.
holy shit what an outstanding 951!!! I love the transaxle cars, well I love all Porsches. I love turbo Porsches even more! there are maybe a handful of Lindsey upgraded cars that really have a driving review and a full overall look at a very tasteful, great specced bitchin' 944 turbo. just a sano car. the value has really jumped on 951's. this is yours huh? upgrade button from volks to better volks. im a Porsche fanatic. im blessed I get to curate my brothers 993 turbo. I'm trying to get him to sell it because its more stressful for him to enjoy because its a 21k car that's as high of 2 condition that is still a driver(maybe once a month and that's criminal. so I'm trying to get him to sell it and buy something he can enjoy and buy me a little something for everything I've put into his car. I'm thinking 951 but they really are a decent bit of money so we'll see but this car here is mega. the mods are tasteful a.f.!! congrats haven't seen much of you so thanks for sharing this I f-ing love it!! cheers
youre are a better man than i!! im selfish i couldnt let somebody borrow it. they are so few and far between to find a clean one the somebody didnt gut out and track it or beat on it. this is just specced perfect and with the period correct parts and the best tasteful mods. no you cant have it ! it mine ! lego my eggo mofo!!@@WheelieCool
Beautiful ride! I have a 86’ 951 as well. Owned 1 year. Love it. I had a Lindsay racing RWHP kit. Like it a lot. Wondering if the 300 is worth it? I believe I’m around 260HP now with the entry kit from Lindsay. Lmk what you think! That exhaust tone is amazing. That’s from the Lindsay kit as well?
Awesome video man! Just saw your video after seeing the car sell on bat today. I'm wondering how much you would charge to do a video of my car, just to have?
Nice 944 buddy, I have the same down in FL in guard’s red. I wanted to ask you about the OZ wheel specs, are they 17”s or 18”? early ET or late with spacers. I hear that if you want 18” you’ll have to do some mods. The only wheels I found in the market that bolt directley without any mods are those 17” BBs LMs from tire rack, but they’re pricey, $4K . Any info will be a great help. Thanks. 👌👍
968s were always up. They never really had a phase like the 928, 924 amd 944 when nobody wanted them and you could get them for a song. I think thw 944s are exactly where they should be except I think the turbos are a bit high. The garden variety 944s are pretty damn slow, byt rhey do look great going slow and of course they handle great even if the body rills way more than we expect sports cars to do now. The turbos aren't exactly 1/4 mile monsters either. What the chassis jas going for ir is gobs of potential. They're fairly light and jave superb balance and I think they're one od rhe best looking cars of the 80s. It looks like what a sports car should look like and the design doesn't appear dated. As much as I sometimes hate to see older cars get their old emfkes tossed out for, what else, an LS swap, this car begs for it though. I hope we don't see the same thing that happened to the air cooled 911s. The 924s are still reasonable but there's not many out there that aren't basket cases or have had a pricey restomod done to them. 928s aren't too bad either but they're pretty far from their lowest market value. If 944s shooting up amd 928s keep going up we'll be left with only one way to get into Porsche ownership-the Boxster, the red headed stepchild of the Porsche world. I like them but not for how they look. They're the current bargain. A mid engined Porsche for under 10k? Sounds like a good deal to me.
To each is own! I've always loved these wheels and wanted to put them on one of my cars. BUT there are so many great options for the 944! I honestly love them all haha
What year and series was this? Because in '87 Trans-Am, a 944 was the only car to take a win that wasn't Merkur. The Camaros were more competitive than the Corvettes around then. ruclips.net/video/0qQT7Z_FhLI/видео.html
@@MR.ROBOT...76 It's all about rules. It seems like they didn't know how to properly match up turbo and NA cars all that well at the time, and Corvettes weren't winning in TransAm. Everyone was getting their asses kicked by turbo Mercury Merkurs with Lima (Pinto) engines in '87
Owned both in the '80s and 84 vet and in 88 944 Turbo S2. I would take the Porsche for anything except a drag race. And even then modified I'll be right on your heels. The handling of a Corvette sucks compared to this car. And the ride suffers as well in the Corvette. Not so in the Porsche. As Larry Cesar said this was the perfect racing car for the General Public. I don't think he's back down on that praise

AWESOME!
Such a beauty. Owned one 20 years ago... then kids came along. One day I'll get another one.
Most fun I ever had in a car my 1986 turbo 944
At this point in my financial journey this is my dream car. It’s perfect as it is. Thank you for sharing I wish I could’ve caught the sale.
Great 80s cars are getting scooped up and tucked away. 944 is pure memories of childhood for me!

Hey Stu love the video. Always loved your style, I hope you're going to continue making videos, and damn do I miss your Corrado.
Nice video of a clean 951, seems to be modified in all the right places.
Really great to see you back!
Good to see you back geez ! 👍🏼

Cleanest 944 I've seen sheeshhh 🔥
This thing sounds great, reminds me of the 70/80s Japanese super bikes. Porsches just have that great unique tone with all their motors
This car is for sale now on Bring a Trailer
Welcome back.
THANK YOU!!!!
Love the 944, I have a 968 engined S2 and a 3.0ltr turbo, awesome cars
I had a 1992 968, loved it. Would love to have a car just like your turbo!
Such a cool Porsche
The more I watch this video, the more impressive that car is. Wow!
Watch that tach sweep like only a turbo can!
Beautiful 944 turbo... drooling here. 🤤🤌
Cada año que pasa, el 944 rejuvenece, y este en particular está impresionante 👍👍
944 so underrated vs 968, sounds superb, makes me want one and I have a 911.
Had a near perfect 968. Worst car I’ve owned and it sounded like a sewing machine. Be glad you don’t own one.
@@b717 did you smoke s.th.....?😜

Thanks! Great to be back bro!
What an absolute treat!
One of my grail Porsche cars, love the pop-up headlights 😎
I feel the same way!
I've always loved these! I'll get me one some day
im so glad im working on one with my father. being 14 rn i want to get into cars and stuff instead of games
Excellent, excellent video man!
Much appreciated!
The sound. Like an angry snake. Love it. I have an 87 turbo also..in white. Really like that color. More details on the LR kit…what size turbo. 27/9?

Nice looking 944
Beautiful car.
rly nice tuning sound ....no stupid bangs all the time
OZ Futura look good on almost anything. Simple 5 spoke design multi piece wheel to vary widths and lip/barrel size
Never liked these but somehow adored the 928. I have issues.
That's why I own two of them 944 turbos
There was a nice Turbo S in Georgia with 375HP and a full complement of other mods, white on red. I think $20 or $25k at the time that I almost bought.
What are those specific wheels called? Like what model?
Nice car....noticed your shifter has a fair bit of movement....possible engine mounts and shifter needs a rebuild..
i'm hoping to get a 944 as my first car!
I live on that canyon. Weird to watch a video of a car driving past my house.
For such a beautiful car I hope you reroute the fuel lines so that they don't run over the exhaust. Would hate to see another one burn down because of old rubber.

Have you lowerd the car? or have you just put on the new wheels?
Valve tower! There is no cover. Cam sits in that block up on top of the head.
I think I need another one... Prices going up fast eh?
Is the exhaust a straight throw?
Sounds fantastic

Beautiful car. However, I don't think I could deal with that boost sound that really sounds more like a vacuum leak than a spooling turbo.
Are you sure about selling it? You are selling what I am keeping. best wishes from a Corrado and 944 owner located in Taiwan
"Where havvvvve you been?!"
very nice
Thanks!!
Makes me miss my 1989 944S in the same Velvet Red color
Very nice car, but the wheels are not my favorite. Personally, I'm a fan of the OEM turbine wheels. BUT, these make it unique, so rock on!
To each is own! I've always loved these wheels and wanted to put them on one of my cars. BUT there are so many great options for the 944! I honestly love them all haha
Beautiful body, gorgeous colour & interior, but the tacky wheels really let it down.

This car was built to compete with Corvette but went 0-29 vs Corvette in SCCA racing. Porsche quickly realized the Vette were on par with the 928.
