I had an '85 back in the mid-'90s. I thought it was a great car.
When our previous Champ Car (aka Chump Car) vehicle blew it's engine for the second time, I tried to convince my race buddies to get a 944 (a la Cone Crushers if anyone is familiar with the Eastern Champ Car region) but they refused to drive that "Eurotrash crap". So we looked for a competitive American car. And looked. And looked. And ended up with a 1992 BMW 325is.
I still think a 944 would be awesome.
