Sorry To Bring Up German Cars But...

[Funkadelic]

Does anybody else have a soft spot for the Porsche 944?

I'm thinking of getting a 944 turbo in two or three years time if the insurance isn't too horrendous

THey are ok.

Was going to get one a couple of years ago... then I "discovered" the mk3 supra.. but ended up with a soarer

That one looks very tidy!!

[Yarisboy]

forgive me if i'm wrong but isn't the 944 when they placed the engine in the front? :o

I saw one today, looked nice, retro cool style

sounded pretty menacing too!

They dont look bad but the thing is there are so many better jap cars in the same price range.

Also i hear they are very expensive to repair and repair is the word that will be cropping up a lot. ;)

Mr. Leeky.. thats exactly why I turbed Jap! I do like them tho.. Like the 928 as well :D

Love 944's .. my old man used to own a 924, sold it for a 924 Turbo .. and then had a 944 ..

But I know that my MR2 is quicker, more reliable and had the engine in the right place .. oh well, one dream shattered.

Since we are on the topic of German cars... i cant belive this one i was sent earlier today fom a mate...

A Audi S3 converted with the engine and runnign gear of a RS4 pushin 450bhp!!!

Im amazed.. not keen on the tail pipes though...

Audi RS3!

[Funkadelic]

A while back there was an S4 in PVW that was running about 470bhp...

Audis are serious cars. I certainly wouln't mind one.

I'm convinced, however that the German car fraternity rate the Vr6 a bit too much.

[Yarisboy]

wow :o

450bhp through the front wheels? I hope it's a quattro!!

[Funkadelic]

Must have been a Quattro - Otherwise the torque steer would be murderous, literally!

[Fizz]

wow :o

450bhp through the front wheels? I hope it's a quattro!!

its go the RS4 Running gear.. i should presume this means the AWD gear as well...

although im sure the S3 comes in a quattro...

Very tasty

Nah. It was good for Mazda that the RX-7 looked like a Porsche, but not so fortunate for Porsche.

Besides, I believe porsches should have rear engines, a shallow hood, tapered rear , and large round headlights. It's one of those timeless shapes like a Mini, a Jeep, or a (imagine that) VW bug. Notice that even an early 70's Porsche 911 doesn't look terribly dated.
