I have this really preppy rich kid at my school and he has a porsche 944 turbo its an 88 and he thinks that its the ****. I was wondering if I would be able to beat him i have a 88 turbo II. can you guys give me the stats of his car hp 1/4 weight any thing like that would be appreciated. Thanks for the help

 

by the way the porshe is stock and so is my tII

 

Stock for Stock, an 88 944 turbo S will eat you alive ..

actually... it won't be a huge beating, however he WILL out pull you.. especially if you're at a rolling start...

 

There's a 951 (944 turbo) for sale a couple miles away from where I live for $7500. It looks like it's in immaculate shape, not sure what year it is. That's a damn good deal too. I'd buy it, but maintenance on those things is a serious bitch. You think a Turbo II is bad, 951's are nightmares.

A buddy of mine has a 944 and I've worked on it a few times. The car was a blast to drive, but definitely not worth the time and money spent on maintenance.

Stupid quirky German engineering. :p

Oh, 951's are pretty quick in stock trim, but for $500 you can chip it for a ~50 hp gain. Older Porsche's like this originally had a problem with turbo lag, all the chip does is fix that, and the results are amazing.

 

damn rich kids. You better be getting some pretty big HP mods to beat it. I have a lot of money into my TII and I think that I still would lose to one. I don't know about the 88's HP, but remove all emissions that you can exhaust intake DP and go for a run with him. If he beats you be prepared for him to talk **** for a while. Hehe I remember the high school racing days. get enough mods to make sure that you beat him, then he will "Respect the Wankle"

 

you spelled wankel wrong ...jk

yea dont go in with a few mods and hope you will win. go in with more than enough mods and know your going to win.

 

well man that sucks i wanted to show him the power of 1.3 liters and show it in his face. But hey last night I raced a stuck up kid in a yellow vert stang gt right in front of the big hang out spot in town. He left the strip after i told him that he got beat by a 1.3 liter. that raised my spirits

woah woah woah slow down there Thomas Edison... do all that stuff and don't do computer/injectors and all you'll have is a rich bastard kid laughing at you as you puke an apex seal...
