it may have come on other 944 derivatives as well.

| any idea on who makes the lip? |
anyone who specializes in aftermarket Porsche racing parts can make one for you. it's just a piece of flexible rubber. the body is totally stock though.
cool car huh

$1200 for a clutch? huh?!? depends on what you have installed and replaced at the same time. don't forget that a Porsche clutch lasts a LOT longer than ones that other manufacturers use.

| what about a n/a for $4000, what do you think that will be like? |
it would be like my car, pretty much, but probably a little rougher around the edges. it'll be fast enough.
for what it's worth, the 1985.5 and earlier cars have their advantages. they're a little easier on the wallet, and all the suspension upgrades for the later cars will work on the earlier ones.
one thing to remember about the 944: all your money should be spent on suspension and brakes. don't waste your money trying to get more power out of the N/A engine. leave the N/A one bone stock. if you get a turbo, then spend cash on the engine. for $6,000 into a 944 8v N/A engine you'll end up with literally HALF the horsepower that the same money would have gotten out of a turbo.
cost of long-term ownership? if you could afford a Scirocco 16V or a Corrado G60, you can afford a 944 easily. they're cheaper to own than an AWD DSM, and about as reliable as a tank.

my money is on the 944, not even a 911 with 50 more hp can lap better than a properly set up 944.

944 Turbo S variant was tuned to 250 HP weighed 2600 lbs and "very" quick (would probably own the 300ZX), 944 Turbo only had 215 HP and the 944 was rated at 150 HP...I don't think either of these could run with the Z

| I work at a Porsche Dealership and I see these all the time. Most are pieces of crap with owners who spend $5,000 on it just to "Fit In" with all the other Porsche's. These cars are like sore thumbs when the come in. BUT that one looks good
