Despite some teething problems in the early 944's (ventilation, belts, cooling system, etc.) generally, these cars are very well built with high quality parts. In their heyday, back in the early-mid 80's, they were very strong cars, and could out-perform most of their sports car competition. I doubt if many people back then considered it to be anything but a true Porsche. Nowadays, car manufacturers are making family cars with 200+ hp which are capable of very serious performance. Today's sports cars push the envelope even more. All I'm saying is, the competition's caught up with the 944, to a large degree. Even so, it still holds its own, almost 20 years later. The 951 can still run with the best of them, from ANY age, bar none. I've never driven a 911, 912, 930 etc., or any of the other so called 'real' Porsches, but then again, I don't really want to. I don't want to drive a fast car which requires me to take a course in physics to determine at what speed I'm going to swap ends in a corner.
Oh yeah, some food for thought; I once met a mechanic who said a person who owned a Porsche must have rocks in his head. Just call me Rocky there buddy!
