I believe it because 944s suck! Wasn't that the mistake that drove Porsche to the brink of financial disaster.

 

If only we could run with the 911 turbos. Now that would be cool.

 

you mean this beauty?


Powered by 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder engine built at Porsches Zuffenhausen factory, it was capable of producing 174 horsepower. The engine was placed in the front and powered the rear transaxle. In-line 4-cylinder engines were often plagued with vibrations so Porsche negotiated a deal with Mitsubishi for the use of their 2-balance shafts. A 5-speed manual gearbox was mated to the engine and an optional automatic was available.

 

There is a dude at work that thinks he's bad ass for owning a 944 even though he only paid like 5 or 6 grand for it. Now that I know an HHR can hang I should hand him his ass with my 4 door retro Cobalt wagon.

 

That would be pretty damn funny Have someone video that would ya.

 

Take them on a road course

And HHR PONY, if I'm not mistaken that picture's actually a 944S (or s2 or s4)which didn't get produced until later (88 I think).

Either way... Porsche's never been known (or concerned) for straightline acceleration, your average Vette will blow the production Turbos (944s or 911s away at a stoplight, but once the Vette has to make a turn the Porsche will be a block away before the Vette's back on the gass

 

Does anyone know how SLOW the 1984 944 is? When I had my Porsche everyone wanted to race me. I would get beat by just about everything. I would be more impressed if you said I smoked my mom in her a Kia Sedona.

 

 

I owned a porsche 924s years ago.It did have a great take off but it was pretty good at top speed.The hhr should eat a 924 or 944 if the hhr is a 5spd.If the porsches are stock.

 

I hope you don't mean the new Vettes becasue they are spanking everything nowadays from Porches to Ferrari's. The last Motor trend test wouldn't even allow the Z06 to compete it had to be a base Corvette to make it fair.
