The undebody rear valance (ala 944 Turbo) is wrong for a 944S. Guess its not a "perfect" concours car

I looked at a 944S for sale locally that was of very good overall condition. Excellent paint. Very good interior. Good options, All the original paperwork (in fact, original owner)... Car started at $10,5 then he lowered it to $9.5 and now (still - 6-8 months later) the car is STILL on the market at $10,5. The car I saw still had original shocks (which needed replacement) AC had no charge either.

As mentioned, they aren't "slow" but they aren't "fast" either. 188hp. Approx 2800lbs? 0-60 in about 7 seconds. Its a car that really needs to be revved high to make any speed.

The S2 is a much better overall package - Turbo brakes, suspension, 210 hp and good torque!
