Everybody says that the 944 turbo has the potential of being blindingly fast if modded. What are the best performance for the money mods I can add for a budget of around $1500? I hear that the 944 turbo has all this potential because it was a race car: so what was the difference between the race car and the street car in terms of engine mods? How can I put it in "race tune"?

I am looking for 1:18 scale only, Porsche Model cars. i have looked at a bunch of places like autoarts online store, but a simple model is $95 which isnt that much, but i couldnt buy two or three like that. If you know anything about Porsche's im looking for a:
Martini 917 LongTail
Porsche 908
2.1Carrera RSR
996GT3 MkII
993 Turbo
2.7 Carrera RS
Early Pre-1973 911 or 901

I also am interested in other endurance racers like the bentley speed 8, DTM race cars, LeMans P1/P2 cars.

Thank you in advance for any advice, I have a small collection and would like to expand it, but remember 1:18 only!

I am thinking about replacing my Subaru Impreza WRX with a 2002-2004 911 C4S. This vehicle would be my daily driver (40 miles per day of mixed driving) and my weekend toy (I typically do 2 lapping school days and 3-4 auto cross events per year).

My WRX has held up very well to this type of usage, with no part failures or unexpected maintenance (I basically change tires once a year, change oil frequently, fill it up with gas and drive hard)

Will a 2002-2004 911 C4S be able to handle this type of usage without becoming a money pit? Will I be able to drive 250 miles to a race track, drive at 10/10ths of my ability for several hours and have absolute confidence the car will not break down and get me home at the end of the day?

I would really like to hear from current 911 owners who use their car in the same way I am planning to use it.

Thanks in advance!

My dad's always had a decorative horse on his Cadillac's and just bought a Porsche Cayenne. Is there some extremely strong double sided tape or High powered magnet system available. I don't want it to get stolen or to fly off on the highway? Drilling holes in the hood of a Porsche would really hurt the value

Got my heart set on a Porsche. Don't like 944/928. Got up to £9000 to spend. That will get about an '84 911 or an early 2.5 boxster.
It won't be used for commuting just weekends away etc.
Any advice/ experience welcome. Cheers.

P.S - I can't stand BMWs so no one bother suggesting one!!

I'm haveing a dispute over weight with a trucking company that is telling me that the transmission weighs 805lbs. I personally weighed it and it weighed 220 lbs. I have never seen a transmission weight close to a 1000lbs in any sports car.

Help me beat this carrier and win one for the little guy!!!

Ok so it's gotten down to these two options. I've asked here about the 968 and the 928 S4, and finally I've narrowed it down to the 944 in its turbo S or the S2 models, because I'm looking for a car that won't cost me as much as a 928 to maintain, and I prefer the looks of the 944 to those of the 968. So the 944 it will be.
I will be mostly driving the car in the city with the occasionnal hop on the highway. I know both cars quite reliable if well taken care of, and cost about the same to maintain (chain tensionning vs turbo).
So what I'm looking for is advice from those of you who have owned, driven or know about these models. Which one would you get and why?
Thanks for you input!

Is it better to run the car once in awhile or let it sit with the battery out until the spring?

I've heard its better to let it sit, but can this promote the engine to seize?
Thank you everyone!

The 2008 Nissan GT-R recently beat the track record of the Porsche Turbo at the Nurburgring and it has a 0-60 time in 3.5 sec. It is also more aerodynamic. And finally, it only costs only ~$80,000. What do you think about the Nissan GT-R vs. the Porsche Turbo?

Not so long ago, we thought the Audi R8 was going to get some of Porsche's sales, but now, the Nissan GT-R is a viable contender. What are your thoughts? The Japanese are bringing the Acura NSX, Lexus LF-A, and Toyota Supra here soon. Do you think Porsche needs to worry?

I read the article below on website.
I wonder how Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld own it.
Please tell me.

-->The 959 does not meet the US street legal specification, and Porsche has refused to modify it to meet some bureaucrat's demands. As a result, we don't get to see any 959s being driven around. Word is that Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld both own one, sitting on a dock somewhere.

Such as a 1966 or what ever like that, etc.

I am looking for something reliable. I currently own a 1986 944 N/A, I have always done the upkeep and it has proven to be bulletproof reliable. By choosing a well maintained 968 or 928, I know the upkeep will be minimal yet somewhat costly, and the car should prove to be very reliable. But I am looking to know from someone firsthand their impressions on these watercoolers. They are about the same price (although 928 S4/GT are going for a bit more..)
As I am looking to drive this car as often as possible in the summertime, I want a reliable, powerful ride. As economical as possible of course, although we are talking about two sports coupes. Best bang for the buck, best originality, best car...? Thanks for your input :)

Personally, I have a Guards Red 2005 997 Porsche Carrera S, and have ridden in a 997 GT3RS. Pretty exhilarating ride in the RS, and one of my favorites. I also like any RUF or Gemballa, and as many of you do, I enjoy the Carrera GT, GT2, GT3, GT1, 959, most of the classic ones, Turbos, and 356 because it was the beginning of all.

Cool thought: The Buggati Veyron uses a Volkswagon Engine, which was founded by Ferdinand Porsche, who also founded Porsche (duh). Without Porsche, the Buggati wouldn't be so great!
