My 944 Turbo S developed a problem where is was cutting out on acceleration and in high G corners after the shop had put a new starter on. Took the mechanic for a ride to show him the problem because he could not duplicate it. Took a freeway cloverleaf at full drift. Just as we were exiting to merge into traffic it cut out. The abrupt change in power in a full drift caused the car to move towards traffic 2 foot. Of course I had planned for this and there was plenty of room. It frightened the bejesus out of my mechanic. On the way back I did some hard accelerations and it cut out again. Again very abrupt going from full throttle to no power back to full throttle. Very unnerving. He said he would never ride with me again.

He did fix the ground strap on the engine that he had inadvertently loosened while replacing the starter.

That incident and the time I passed the service tech's biker group 3 times doing over 140 in my 928 collecting stragglers on a club tour, they think I am a crazy driver.
