I got this baby a couple weeks ago. I think it’s pretty hot, but apparently some of my coworkers think it is “ugly.” WTF?? Unless by “ugly” they mean “crescent fresh, mega-cool sexmobile,” I don’t get it. I think everyone here will agree: this is one fine automobile…right?
A lot of Porsche-files do not consider front-engined cars like yours to be “real” Porsches. I like the 944 (as opposed to the previous 924). As for ugly, show your friends a picture of the Pontiac Aztec or Isuzu Vehi-Cross.
Well, I have never really cared for the “shark design” Porsches. In the same price range, I have always prefered maybe a Ferrari 328. But, I wouldn’t call your car ugly, not by any means.
A flame job AND a blower on the hood. That’d spruce it up.
I must confess, I just don’t like sports cars. My apologies to ricepad, who I think owns a porsche not unlike this one (ain’t that just like us gals, to lump 'em all together when they are probably massive differences betwixt them?)
Tim, while the 427 is indeed a fine engine, IMHO, it is too much for that particular car. Remember, Carroll put the 289 into the FIA entry because of its superior reliability and overall performance. If all you want is raw power, go 427. I like controllable, reliable and beautiful all in one package!
And yes I’ve driven both 427’s and 289’s (replicas of course ;))
…it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine…
Oh, that’s something I got from the show Sifl and Olly on MTV. Funniest darned show at the time, besides the Simpsons of course.
Man…this is a real eye-opener. When I got it, I figured it was universally considered a cool looking ride. I guess I shoulda gone with my 2nd choice, a 94 RX7. Only problem with that is they break down every other day, I hear.
Ooooh, is the 94 RX7 the one that looks like a baby Cobra Daytona??
Y’know, the one with the little bumps in the roof for headroom?
<Droooool>!!!
I saw one painted blue with LeMans stripes…sweeet ride!
My husband had a '94 RX-7 for awhile. No problems at all with it mechanically. It was bright red and attracted the attention of a lot of cops. :rolleyes:
He thought it incredibly cool but it was not comfortable to ride in. I personally favor the design of the second-generation series of that particular car.
Yeah, twin turbo all the way. It was definitely quicker than the 944, but that’s another reason I didn’t get it (or a 944 turbo): the insurance. Plus, it was red, and I’m a bigger fan of black. Well, I guess it’s decided, then. My next car will be a 94 (or 95) RX7 twin turbo. I guess I shoulda come to the Dope before getting the S2. My bad!
