Thanks, Damon. My first 944-type was a black 87 924S, which I turned into a 944 Spec race car. Had a long and successful run of autocross and wheel-to-wheel racing in that car. Tons of fun. I currently own another 924S race car, but the favorite of my collection is a 1988 924S Special Edition. Only 500 of this model were produced for the US market. It's a factory lightweight with a big suspension package - M030 +. 20mm rear sway bar! The 924S is a great model. I love the sleek body lines. Since the update from the 2.0 liter Audi to the 2.5 liter Porsche engine, along with all the other running gear, the 924S is actually a narrow-bodied 944. Light. Nimble. Tossable. It's still my weapon of choice in the 944 line...... BTW, your blue 944S2 that you mentioned several times, and which was previously owned by Doug Kott from Road & Track, was sold to Greg Trigeiro, then to Charlie Buzzetti, who still owns it up in Atascadero. Cheers!

I had a 1982 924 it was a great car. Wasn’t the fastest, but fun to drive!

@M_IkeLeBlanc Год назад

Interesting new road. Seems a bit tight, especially with the concrete wall on the way out. 😳 Great comparison. Although I’ve got a PDK, I would have chosen the five speed for a 924/944.

@coryglueckert1665 Год назад

like the red wheels on the '88

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

Same!

My first Porsche was a 1987 924S... 5-speed. Great car.

@PorscheClubofAmerica 11 месяцев назад

Great first car!

The ratings seem high to me, particularly since he owned a 944 S2. I have to wonder how he'd compare the latter to these 924S's.

@zmansporscheboxsterdudenes1958 Год назад

I still love the 924 which was my first Porsche while stationed in Spangdahlem Air Base Germany, same color too. Quick question does Porsche sell the 935 exhaust tips for the 981? Have a great Porsche day😎🖖

@tompierson8488 Год назад

I wish you'd spend a couple minutes doing some deeper interior and (where applicable) engine shots.

@traymee 11 месяцев назад

Yep! They can be little money pits, make sure you want it to fix, drive and love or just don't bother getting one. I have a 79 924 Sebring I paid $800 for and am now over $23,000 into it and it still hasn't been painted after sitting in a yard for 22 years.

@PorscheClubofAmerica 11 месяцев назад

Wow, thank is a lot. Thanks for watching.

@ianhardin1148 Год назад

I get sooooo wary about 924/944 for exactly the reason you mentioned on the first one (bought for $4600...and then $20K in getting it road-worthy). If I'm willing to drop that, might as well get a 996 with a repaired IMS or a 997 Boxster. EVERY time I get close to pulling the trigger on a 924/944 I get that weird tingle to stay away. I understand the realities of repair costs for any Porsche will not be the same as a Corolla...but I'd rather spend that repair money on someting that will have a higher resale that that Corolla. They are VERY nostalgic though. Any time I see a guards red 924/944 I think of "Sixteen Candles" and hunky Jake Ryan...so I don't think I never not want one. LOL

@thespectralsorrows Год назад

Have a PPI done and you shouldn't have any big surprises down the road, spending even more than $10K shortly after buying a 924/944 is highly unusual if you properly vett the car prior to purchase.

@ComeauRacingEnterprises Год назад

@@thespectralsorrows Got to agree strongly with James. As the owner of a 944 only shop, we've seen some poorly purchased examples........

@lukecamery7676 Год назад

@@ComeauRacingEnterprises just because it says Porsche on it doesn’t mean people treated it as one. This you gotta buy these smartly and really look at them and maybe inspected. Just like old VWs (mk1s and beetles)

@ComeauRacingEnterprises Год назад

I understand, Luke. You just have to have them inspected by an expert and then buy smart.

@siegeperilous8156 Год назад

Rating a car after a 1 mile test drive is a little like jumping to conclusions. Did enjoy watching the short drives, however.

@PorscheClubofAmerica 11 месяцев назад

Yes we completely understand that. Most of the time we are only allowed to drive it for one-mile and we do our best to provide an honest review. Thank you for watching.

@truthboomertruthbomber5125 8 месяцев назад

You needed to drive the automatic on the highway for 10 miles or so before making your road trip rating. With no overdrive they are buzzy at speed.

@gamechanger8382 Год назад

Why did Porsche put ignition non right in these cars ?

@SuperCarreraSTL Год назад

I think they didn't change much from the Audi design. The 944 had more Porsche elements.

@nickthompson318 Год назад

@@SuperCarreraSTL the 944 was just a wide body 924 with a different engine for the first few years of its production run. The later years had a different interior but still was full of Audi/VW sourced parts.

Please get some glasses that will stay in place.

I've been wearing glasses for 32 years and I have yet to find a pair that will stay put on a hot day. Hope you liked the video.

why do british people say nine two four and americans nine twenty four?

@thespectralsorrows 3 месяца назад

Do British say Nine one one or Nine Eleven?

@59vaughn Год назад

Your ratings...being so far lower than reality...gave you a rating of 5.45...get off the five alive and realize the perfection of that particular model....all are not so....

@SuperCarreraSTL Год назад

I thought the ratings were slightly high--and I love these cars.

@goonigoogoo5868 8 месяцев назад

save yourself time and not watch this video. the 924 Porsche is garbage. . if you find one that runs and stays ion the road more than in the garage. that may be a rare example. there saved you time.

@PorscheClubofAmerica 8 месяцев назад

Many would disagree with you.

@thespectralsorrows 3 месяца назад

Same car basically as the 944, exact same engine even, which has proven the test of time, clearly you don't know what you are talking about.
