Had one - drove over 170 000 km here in Finland - summer and winter on daily basis as my only car. Summers were worse: 2 sets on tires, brakes, 4 sets CV-joints, clutch. 275 km/h top speed. Very good handling - once at the winter (very slippery ice), several new cars was out of the road but with 951 I was just having fun to drift over 100 km to home :)
@@porsche944turbo Mine was replaced, yet its discharging really bad, I work up the street and watch my volt meter like a hawk. I have a 86 951 and the alternator has only 10,000 miles on it..$750 to replace..😳any ideas.?
Accellerating hard from a standstill is kinda hard on the drive train. Not worth the cost of breaking stuff. Don't think there are many 944 turbo's who do a below 5 second 0 to 60 mph.
agree probably best rollin' first! once mine is off there no stopping! 944 Turbo 89 stock and is enough! , Just my favorite car to drive and take long trips!
No, it is just fast enough. Don't forget I still use the stock airfilterbox. This is very restrictive. A decade ago I was running with a MAF setup. Way more power, way more noise. I'm too old for that kind of setup. ;-)

I plan on buying one on saturday. Now the 951 sits in Germany but between 1990-2000 was used in Finland - Crazy
Thanks for sharing, more footage required.
good to see a manual
Try clarks-garage.com. A lot of guides for maintaining a 944. www.clarks-garage.com/shop-manual/elect-01.htm
That cherry interior... yummy.
Try changing the alternator on one.😳😳😳
Not that hard (if the 944 is equiped with AC). 😉

I had an S2. Didn’t remember how slow it was. 😂
Have you ever put the car on a dyno? - Curious to see your HP numbers
I have planned a dyno session for July 2nd. I'm also curious. I will make a video of the dyno run.
@@porsche944turbo Can't wait to see it.

sounds like a golf mk5 1.4 tsi
0-100Km/h? 4.5 sec?
