Thanks for sharing all of the things that make these cars unique. I knew nothing about these before watching. You’ve got a great car there. How’s it drive with manual steering? I couldn’t tell but does it have rear seats? You should do another video while driving. Do the multi camera setup. Thanks again!
@@jefflebo5836 I do not feel like it is floating very stable car but much different then my 1987 930 hard to describe but both are unique. The turbo cup cars are made to go all out. This partucular Escort was built as an Endurance car for long long races and 6 12 and 24 hours in length so they are strong. Here is a race with the Rothmans turbo cup series cars. They ran in 1988 1989 poss 1990 ua-cam.com/video/ag572GXmFrg/v-deo.html
Thanks. Actually the steering wheel on these 944 cars are perfect. I think 360mm nice grip. Much smaller then say the same looking one in the 911 and 930 of same era.
Very nice! I have the pleasure to drive the road version, the 1988 turbo S silver rose.
Never seen or heard of these. My mom and dad owned 3 944s a 928s and a 911sc. Some of the most reliable cars they ever had.
I forgot to turn on the comments so now this option is on.
Hope you like my video and car.
Very nice!

I hope to do that some day. Steering when parking is a bit stiff but really not bad. At speed its a dream light tight and precise.
In general at say 100+ how’s the overall stability of the car? Does it feel like it’s floating?

Hi Ed, is there any chance this car is for sale? I would be very interested in it.
Hi thanks for reaching out. I have no plans of selling it really is special to me.
Nice car, how big is the turbo lag? From which RPM do you have full boost? I assume full boost is about 1 bar (over atmo.)
Hi the turbo on these 1987 Turbo Cup car is the K26/ 8 .
If I recall peak torque is around 4000 rpm
Thats such a cool uncompromising car. But they forgot the steering wheel.
