sorry man That was two separate comments the first was kind of bashing on you... The second was someone different. Only the first section had anything to do with you. sorry
See you said that the 944 lacked power like the p5. But others seemed to be afraid of the old 944 just because its a porsche.
The Porsche 996 (a continuing variation to the 911) has no badging indicating '996' on it. It simply wears a badge: Carrera
The Porsches that did carry numbers on the back (starting with a '9') are as follows:
911, 912, 924, 944, 928, 959
(as I mentioned before; the 993, and 996, are continuations of the 911. This is the classic Porsche to most. It is actually rear engined - not mid-engined.) The backs of these after the 911s & 912s simply carried the 'Carrera' badge.
Although the 930 Turbo (1977), was in fact, a 911 bodied coupe; the badging was 'turbo'. And; they were wicked fast! Funny thing; they originally had 4 speeds, not 5 speeds.
Everyone should play 'Evolution Mode' in Need For Speed "Porsche Unleashed" before commenting on this thread...It has all the history you need on Porsche and the handling of each of the cars is almost flawless.
(maybe a little overdone, but how many of us have actually tried to negotiate a hairpin turn going 120 in a 73 911? I'll take their word for it that the back end will slide out when I slam on the brakes cause I sure as hell wouldn't try it if I owned one)
AGR#7 is right...there is no Porsche that I know of that has '996' on the back.
This seems pretty believable to me. I raced a porshe Carrera once. Rolling start at 15 MPH... He was easily gained a car length in 2nd gear, but I caught up to him by end of 3rd and started to pass in 4th at about 100 MPH. I think he may have let up a little at the beginning cause he had sucha good lead, then my boost kicked in and it was too late for him to get the lead back.
Another time I tried an imprompto stop light race with a Porshe Turbo. HA-HA that was funny. I had never seen one in person and wanted to see how fast it really was. Within 2 seconds he was about 10 car lengths ahead of me. I might as well tried to race him in my Nikes.
Sure, I CAN drive. And actualy did fairly well against the Miata's too, but the 968 isn't all that. I think the only reason he spanked the Speed off the line, was the rear wheel drive vs front wheel drive dissadvantage. On the roll a slightly tweaked Speed will give any 924,944 or 968 a run for it's money.
