I like them all, in any form. They are ALL great cars and where made for a reason and for there time period. But I do dislike some 911 owners thinking they are somehow the only true Porsche owners.

Have orginally owning a 1983 944 back in 85, I loved it. Nothing could touch it handling wise and made good power for it's day at 150hp (seems low now!). When it was time to move on I looked at 2 cars, a 1979 911SC and 1991 944S2. The S2 came home! No comparison, the SC seemed like a toy after driving the S2! But I still love ALL Porsches! So it does kinda chap my _ss when you wave at a 911 guy and they ingnore ya, when they and I both know their older 911 doesn't stand a chance against a chipped M030 S2. ....or maybe it's that older 911 air-cooled guys can't swallow the fact that there are MANY 4 cylinder front engine water cooled Porsches running around that can clean thier clock - with ease I might add.

True Porsche fans know what each car can do. There are 944 Turbos running around with 400+hp, these are not poorly built Audi/VW cars and do deserve some respect. Not too many 911 owners can claim they can touch a 400hp 951, true? Heck my friends 2001 Boxster is 10 years newer and has 11 LESS HP than my S2 (217 vs 228)!

Again, I'm not slamming 911 guys. I just wish they would have some respect for non-911 owners. I feel even worse for the way 914 924 guys get treated, they are fun cars! And if where not for the 944 chances are high Porsche would not exist today. The 944 was also Car and Driver 10 Best in 1983, 1984, 1985, and 1986!

I guess I have kinda started to favor the 924/44/68 line these days and have gone somewhat backwards in restoring a 1980 931 Turbo S (924 Turbo S) and plan to replace the S2 with a cab 968. Maybe someday a 911, but no real reason too unless I really want that wave back.....

And not all 911 guys are this way. Several times I've had 911 and 911 Turbo guys wave at me first when driving the S2 and the 924 Turbo S, and I'm sure it's because they KNOW the car.

Can't we all just get along and have respect for ALL Porsche owners.

My rules. Wave at ALL Porsches!

91 944 S2 (M030 Club Sport)
