"Never ceases to amaze!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Tail light replaced

A/C converted to non CFC.

General comments?

This is my second 944 but first turbo. I was lucky enough to buy it from a Porsche lover who took meticulous care of the car. It even smells new inside. Upgrades K & N Air filter, ecu (Autothority) and the turbo to put out 280+ bhp. Also 17" 996 rims with 255/40 zr (r), 225/45 zr (f). This car is an excellent daily driver. If not on the gas, it's very civil with relatively no turbo engagement, hence good fuel economy. However, dip into the throttle and it puts me deep into the seat. It is unmatched by most others. And handling? WOW!! With the 996 rims and fat tires, in corners, I literally cannot break it free from the pavement. Too much fun. Like Christmas morning, every day!

The 944s are nice cars, but the 944 turbos are insane cars. I used to drive a nissan skyline r33 gts and I pulled up to the lights next to a 944 turbo. I thought I could drag it off, but I thought wrong. it left me for dead and if I was driving a skYline GTR it still would have beaten me. I sold the GTS and bought a Saab 9000 Carlsson which is quicker than the skyline, but still not as fast as the 944 turbo. I plan on buying one in the future.
