[hamiltonguy]

ok so here i am in the middle of ma project.... to create a master piece of a personal ride using the 44 as my platform... and i know how most of the purists feel about after market upgrades, however this is more a referance or personal clarification i need now...
the 944 series came in the 944, 944 turbo, the 944 s2 and a cabriolet style.. where does the 951 designation come from? was it a referance just to the turbo editions? was it a special upgrade or conversion they did at the wharehouse?
i read in excellence magazine that the 951 designation was only what some people referred to the 944 3.o's as.. can someone please clarify me on this point... possibly someone directly from pelican or someone who can show me some referance s to where i can see this information... thanx a bunch

...p.s. ; to those of u who i have talked to, and have shared some advice and information with me... i have some news for you i have now gotten ma first 2 rolls of pics taken as well as a small video of the initial project start ...as soon as i can find a scanner ill post some pics on the site for ya all thanx again for your help so far and im sure ill be needing more in the future

951 is the factory's internal designation for the 944 turbo, although you will rarely see any mention of this in official Porsche publications. If you read Excellence, you will find many references to the 951. This form of model distinction is not unique to the 944 - it's older brother, the 924 turbo, is also known as the 931 and the original 911 turbos as the 930. My guess is that these versions, being vastly different from the standard versions, warranted their own internal designations because of the significant differences.
