This is a 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo with 26,xxx original miles. I have many receipts from Porsche dealer oil changes, and other minor tune-ups, that show the mileage over time. I am the forth owner and have data on the other three owners. Lots of pictures can be found at the following web page:
https://sites.google.com/site/gregscarprojects/1988-porsche-944-turbo
The original owner had the car until 15K, and then sold it to a person who took mileage to 23K. The last owner held it the longest, while I purchased from his son. The 944 has a new Lindsey Racing exhaust, dual DMF chips, and Lindsey MAF conversion. It includes one really nice complete J&L Audio stereo system.
I paid a premium for the car because us was worth it. I completed a total fluid sub-system flush (transmission, brake lines, engine, water, power steering, etc).
The timing belt and AC compressor are new. Early on, the factory replaced the clutch. The shocks, wheels and tires are new too.
The brake pads and disks show no wear, looking like they came from the factory. I have all the receipts to show the service and parts.
Other than those modifications it is completely factory, except it has 330HP pulling hard and a Blast to Drive! The interior is completely beautiful with no blemishes. Every switch works and all the plastic/vinyl/fabric looks like new (nice and soft).
What can I say negative about the car? It has one blemish on the rear black plastic bumper and front headlight, and a small blemish on the rear fiberglass under-spoiler (all have been touched up now). I also see just a tiny touch of road rash on the passenger's front-side rear splash guard(not anything you can see unless you really look hard).
The only major issue is that the car had a totally beautify repaint job done a few years back. The painter did a great job hiding any idea that it has been repainted. Read on the web and learn why paint was not good back in those days.
The underside is just beautiful as you can see from the pictures. Any person can tell the car was not driven in the rain. All of the original white part number stickers are in place on the wires, etc, as are the red paint markers by the factory workers who checked for quality.
What else will go with this car? The ORIGINAL window sticker of $42,000, and lots and lots of car articles from the 80's and 90's time frame. I have the few original parts that were removed to install the upgrades, as well as a COMPLETE set of Dealer Service Manuals. The manuals are a complete detail of the car nut-to-nut and connector-to-connector.
I also just found an original brochure for the Porsche 1988 944 series that is really cool to read (the brochure says the 1988 Turbo 944 was the first mid-level premium sports car to get dual air bags and anti-lock brakes!)
A few of other things to note from the pictures is the cool beginner's service guide VCR tape. I burned a DVD of the tape and it comes with the car. Next, the key-fob's light up nice and bright when you press the button. Finally, do not to forget your hats!
Please take the time to look at all the pictures and check out that dyno result of HP to the rear wheels! This is a perfect, reliable, sports car that cost so much less than anything in its collector car class. The care has almost a perfect 50-50 weight ratio and that is why it is so hard to find one that is not trashed. If you look on car sale lists you will find many 944's with over 200k miles on them just to prove the reliability and near bullet-proof engines.

Former Top Gear crew starts filming for Amazon show
Wed, Oct 7 2015We might have only a hint at the name and no exact date for a premiere, but fans can celebrate that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are filming once again. Plus, it looks like every cent of Amazon's reportedly lavish budget is being put on the screen. A photo tweeted by Clarkson shows the three hosts standing proudly in front of a Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 at a racetrack. Clarkson jokes that the show has just a "skeleton crew" but behind him stand several dozen people, a sophisticated-looking camera rig, and two big trucks. This definitely looks worth the anticipation of the premiere on Amazon Prime next fall. Hammond tweeted the same picture and wrote: "The band is back together and it feels brilliant."

Intriguingly, it appears that fellow British auto journalist Chris Harris is currently filming at the same track. He tweeted a photo to Clarkson of the McLaren doing a very smoky slide, while being followed by the other two hypercars. The Porsches in both photos wear the same red-and-white number 3 livery and have the same license plate number. In a later message, Harris was also clear that he wasn't filming there in connection with the trio's Amazon show. This content is hosted by a third party.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
'Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz battles Ron Simons in Porsche vs Ferrari scrap
Tue, 04 Jun 2013We hope you have seven minutes to kill. RSR Nürburgring recently took the time to pit Sabine Schmitz and her slightly modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS against Ron Simons and his Ferrari 458 Italia in a sparring match around the infamous Green Hell. The clip begins with the two drivers engaging in a smidgeon of smack talk before the two get down to the business of beating each other's doors off around one of the most challenging courses in the world. Simons calls his car superior to Schmitz's 911, while Schmitz says she's up against nothing more than a Fiat driven by an old Dutch man.
Don't hold any punches, you two.
We won't spoil the finale for you, but we will say the tango is worth watching. At the end, the loser calls for a rematch. We can't wait to see that throwdown. Check out the clip below for yourself.
