Happy S2 owner here - thanks for confirming that I'm one of the coolest people around 😅

yessir you are if you own one of these

@user-vo9pn3sn1x Месяц назад

Me too, had mine for 11 years and I still love it.

@distillerycats_clt1587 2 месяца назад

Drove an '88 944 for 13 years and 273000 miles. Still ran great when I sold it. Drove from VA to AZ and back 4 times- most comfortable long distance car I've ever owned! Thinking about snagging a 951 in the next couple years!

I've owned my white 1987 944s 26 years in june. Fantastic cool cars.

@MrCarrera28 2 месяца назад

As a 911 owner I can say that the 944, in whatever variant you prefer (personally I like the later 944 Turbos), is one the best sportscars I have driven in terms of smiles for miles. Great chassis, good torque and a nice gearshift, but it still requires you as the driver to have significant input and while not as tricky as a 911 at the limit it still has some bite and the driver needs to concentrate in order to access all the cars performance. Combine this with great practicality of a decent boot and the back seats you can get a decent amount of luggage in and the 'Porsche Tax' is a little bit less than the 911. Personally I don't think the 944 is in anyway lesser than the 911, it shares many traits namely strong build quality, driver focus, excellent vision out the front and really rewarding gear change. I would not feel disappointed owning a 944 as it delivers a different driving experience but is still a real drivers car and a real Porsche.

Both cars are amazing for diferent reasons!, please stop comparing!!!!

Thank you for the video, I own a 87 944 base, 87 944 turbo, 1990 944 S2 and a 1992 964 Turbo. I love them all, but I drive my 944 Turbo the most, My 964 Turbo is such a special Porsche. Drive them and enjoy!

@MMBeing 3 месяца назад

What makes the S2 a S2, how is it different from the base or turbo models?

@333pg333 12 дней назад

@@MMBeing Basically the base n/a had a 2.5lt 8v motor. The S2 which was released some years later had a 3ltr 16v n/a motor. About 155bhp vs 210bhp. The turbo started with 220bhp and finished with 250bhp. They all had different transmissions too.

@JTMP12 20 дней назад

Love these cars, I have an 87 944S. Technically the 968 is the last iteration of the 924/944.

@N911GT2 3 месяца назад

I had an S2 for 2 years. But it is not a better car than a 911. 😅

@arciliocoelho5767 5 месяцев назад

Please!!!, please!!, stop comparing this to a 911, because this are very diferente Cars!!

@cathalquinn3880 4 месяца назад

And the dials ‘view thru the steering wheel’ are fundamentally different …. 944 is a nice set up but 911 is a 5 dial arrangement with rev counter at the centre - so quite different in every aspect except font!

@333pg333 5 месяцев назад

They're too slow. Modify them with some forged pistons, rods and a turbo. Now you're talking. 500bhp easily.

@erikbritz8095 12 дней назад

14sec 1/4 cars not slow 😂

@@333pg333 Don't tell me you don't know the 944 is capable of 14sec 1/4mile times thats round Vw golf 6 to 7.5 Gtis times and from a 30 year older car.

@333pg333 12 дней назад

@@erikbritz8095 Firstly, I don't consider drag racing a European sports car built for handling the correct or suitable form of measurement. Secondly, if you insist doing so, then yeah, 14secs is very slow. Thirdly, I own and/or have driven plenty of 944s to know what I'm talking about here. Do you know the difference between the 924S, 944 na, 944S, 944 turbo and finally the S2? Not to mention the 968. Oh and lastly, I own a 944 turbo race car that would do the 1/4 in substantially less time than 14seconds. I have no idea what that time would be as I have no interest in drag racing. But as it weighs 1150kgs and has approx 750bhp then I'm guessing under 10 seconds. ;-)

@erikbritz8095 12 дней назад

@@333pg333 Lol can't believe your saying a NA 944 is slow if you claim you owned one...14sec is just behind a mk7 Golf Gti that is not slow for stock cars and much less a car from the 80s, tracking these cars is worse then Drag racing them it breaks greatly more parts that is why i don't track much but i do go for long drives with other cars trying their luck on a rolling race...I own a 944 S1 and im going to go test drive your 944 Turbo friday yours is not STOCK so of course it will be faster but the stock cars are not slow especially not after testdriving quite a few cars after i bought the 944. Opinions differ if the cars slow for you then its cool but objectively the cars not.

I feel as a whale going in and out. Now when sitting, I am the car. Simple, precise, just amazing, Bui noone look at me exiting this, thats a great laugh!

@DeserteagleMS 4 месяца назад

924 and 944 are by far better cars than 911 from the same age, but 911 has that Porsche Carrera line that is much more popular and wanted. For me, 944 is all day every day over 911.

@N911GT2 3 месяца назад

No they are not.

@DeserteagleMS 3 месяца назад

@@N911GT2 yes they are... Unlike 911, 924 944 do not have oil leak as a normal. If there is no oil under 911, there is no oil in it 😀
