"Outstanding car. It is built to perfection. German engineering is just genius"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Ball joints are worn.

Suspension has loosened up a bit.

Shifter is loose.

I work at Midwest Eurosport, a race shop affiliated with Pca (Porsche Club of America), so it can be all fixed or replaced with race parts.

General comments?

My 944 S is a rare S; it's the 2.7 liter engine vs the regular 2.5.

The car is slick, and many new OEM or aftermarket parts are available online, which helps for those who find a car with not repairable body work; you can get carbon fiber, fiberglass or aluminum pieces.

The seats are nice and sporty, but for racing I needed to put lighter seats in, so I've got the new Sparco Evo 2 seat in black and red.

The S model is the one with the 16v 2.5L engine... it's NOT the one with the 2.7L 8v engine.. the S produces roughly 30 horsepower MORE than the 2.7L 944.
