I saw a video of a 911ST being revved and there were flames coming out of both exhaust pipes.

Is this because it was a "straight exhaust" minus any muffler or cat ? ( forgive me, I know little...

yeah, and the updated water pump.

But back to the thread starter- what the 'frick is Thermo Guard and does anyone else have it on their 944???

This shouldn't be this difficult.

I'd say the Boxster is more the "new" 914.

The Cayman will be the "new" 944.

There's just too many of them being produced to make them have any residual value in the future. Before long you...

the younger sibling- aka "bastard cousin".

Have to put in a word here for the 944!

As far as "most bang for the buck", the 944 is surely the most bang for the buck in the Porsche family. Try buying a perfect condition 911 of any model year...
