classic case of : just because it fits doesn't mean you should put it there. I think the same philosophy applies to sex with fat women.

That's just wrong on so many levels I can't even begin to describe it.

Looks like they stuck on some M3 mirrors too. Somebody please beat some sense into this car's owner...

The automotive equivalent of a dairy cow with a saddle.

Really bad taste on the owners part. For some reason it's reminding me of a toyota MR2.

gawd, look at where the bumper meets the fender on the passenger side... that is just terrible.

I think the 2nd gen MR2's were beautiful. And their interiors were much better layed out than ours! But that 914 with a 951 nose grafted onto it: well, that's just a demon child. Previous MR2 Owner. -Z.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with the mr2. I said it reminded me of an mr2. That front end on the 914 is just WRONG.

I can see why it would remind you of an MR2, but i am thinking you mean the first-gen MR2.

stock about 6 sec 0-60, mid/high-14's in quarter. not quite as fast as a stock 951, but much quicker than a stock n/a and a bit faster than an s2.
they are very well-built, also. used to own one.

An interesting similarity between the MR2 and the 944 is that we both live in the shadow of our big brothers (Supra and 911). I think becuase of that, we can get along pretty well... And the MR2 n/a may not be the fastest car in a straight line, but some twisty roads ahead of you, and that car can really shine. They're also great autocross cars! Just my $0.42. -Z-man.

I SAY WE UNITE!!! HE HE HE, I work with a guy that has a 2nd gen MR2 n\a and he said he would take a 944 any day. I like that car. It is very nice but it's not a porsche
 Also, how much does a 2nd Gen MR@ turbo run is price I'm to lazy to look it up

i bet it would outaccellerate a 944 up to about 65mph, and then the 944 would walk all over it

the n/a mr2 only has 130 hp and weighs only about 75 lbs less than a 944, so unless his deuce has mods, the 44 should take him.
