**happy now**

got behind a porsche 944 getting onto the highway at lunch time. the onramp has a nice, relatively tight "S" before hitting the straight of the ramp before merging

guy was trying to pull away from me, but couldnt

i stuck to him like glue and came out of the "S" pulling up on him

some days i don't mind only having 100hp

hahaha nice. How much HP on those 911s?

late 80's 944 n/a has a 2.5L 4cyl w/ 150-158hp and tq and weighs 2600-2700lbs

my dad has an 87 924S 2.5L and its about the same....car goes nicely

I like the idea of a Porsche that weighs 2600-2700lbs and has 150-160hp. A civic weighs more and makes the same power now, and that's not a good thing. What happened to all the light cars.

they got "safer"

in 1987, 150-60 hp and 2700lbs was light and lots of hp

civic, im assuming you're talking a 2000 SI, is 160hp at what rpms? whats the tq?

the porsche has 2.5L w/ 150-60hp AND tq

as a person who's driven the a 924S, its pretty peppy

... now if it was a Porche 914, you would have run into it! :biggrin:

Sigh...yep. I blame that on every SUV larger than a CRV...and cell phones.

time to time i go for a spirited touge run with my friend who owns 04 boxter s.
theoretically, with the numbers, the boxter should outrun me both in a straight and in corners, but when we are doing the touge runs together, I have no problem keeping up with him (except the uphill corners...lol)

these cars are pretty solid touge machines...imho.

I can't imagine that the 944 is really worth keeping around for what it costs to maintain and what it is.

They don't even look very good, IMO.
