944 turbo S owner here, couldnt wait for this video to come out and am very glad Matt loved it! Three corrections: 1)it is 250Hp 2) around 1650 were built, 1000 with the Silverrose interior 3)it costed 105000 of todays USD, so comparing it to a Miata sounds a cruel :) This is a serious track car who was fitted with a comfortable interior and an exhaust cutting over 20 horses. Thanks Matt and Dillon!

how are miatas not considered "serious track cars"? you put too much weight onto the financial aspect of that statement. miatas have a perfect 50/50 weight ratio, rwd, mostly all manual etc... and also go to a track and tell me when you DON'T see one there.

The early '88 944S were originally all Silverose and were a special "stand alone" model. They were originally designed to be a limited production model. They became so popular that they wound up being a regular model available in any Porsche color. At the time of their production, they were known as one of the hottest cars that you could buy.

When I was in high school, I saved 5K in cash to get a car. Saw that 944 prices had dropped. This was in 1990! I was 17 and found a one-owner 1985 1/2 with only 35K miles, and I traded a crap Saab worth 6K, but somehow got the dealer to give me 9500 for the Saab, and paid 4K cash on a 13,500 ask for the 944. Red. Phone dial wheels. Perfect interior. And with the newer 911 dash of that time. For a 17 year old kid, it was sick. My friends hated me, but I was like: fuck you, I earned it, and they were all driving cars three times as expensive from mommy and daddy's garage.

There were a few local autocrossers on a local forum (when forums were a thing) who ran these and really cleaned up. Even a well built n/a 944 would be a killer mountain/canyon car.

I went from living in a trailer when I was 15 and extremely poor, moved out, then moved in with my best friends family, who adopted me. Long story short, they bought me a 1991 944 S2. The 3.0 4 cylinder NA engine. I was only 16, but took immaculate care of that vehicle. The first thing my Stepdad said when he gave the car to me, was "if you don't get laid in this car, I'm going to kick your ass!" My love of the 944's began that day.

Marc Nobel Nice. Such an overlooked car, which is odd, because it's a damn good looking car.

- Agree 100 percent from personal experience from 1989. (My college years) Friend had a 944 turbo S, friends dad an 1986 930. Both were new cars. 944 easy to drive fast. 930 was old school VW feel with a 4 speed from the floor. We used to take the both out nights cruising, but the 944 was all around a more modern easier to drive fast car. 930 was excellent mainly in a straight line, (could hit 90 MPH in second gear easily)

They came with Goodyear Gatorback tires and handled quite well. If I remember correctly C&D had a great review of them. The rear lower apron distinguishes it from other 944’s.

Loved my 951 had an oversize turbo and adj wastegate boosted just about 2 bar. 6 pot Brembo's, strut tower brace, and short throw shifter. Guard Red over Tan with Fusch's.

That lag is still not that bad. One of the best Porsche's ever and it's 2022 now. No need to dim the 944 as a Miata, as much as I love Mazda.

Also remember the 1989 944 Turbo just took over the full 944 Turbo S spec, and they dropped the conventional non-S turbo in '89. 944s continued through 1991 but the 90 and 91 model years had no more turbos, and only the S2 (with the 3.0 liter 225 HP I4 that was the earlier version of the 968 motor).

That is a freakishly clean interior and the exterior must have had a touchup or two along the way. Very choice.

This 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S (also referred to as 951) is one of the 380 special "Silver Rose" editions. It is a stock vehicle, well cared for, with over 195,000 original miles. To go from the regular 944 Turbo to the Turbo S, you got a larger turbo, ride height-adjustable Koni shocks, a hardened steel-cased gearbox, and many other factory race spec parts. The 944 Turbo S was actually faster around the track then its bigger brother the 930 Turbo, according to a period test in Automobile Magazine.

I’m wondering if that GT ride quality is from 200k mile suspension. My 240k mile accord had incredibly smooth suspension until I replaced the original shocks.

I seem to recall being told to stay away from the early 944's having an issue that was really expensive to fix.

what a beautiful example. A clean 944 Turbo, S or not, is not cheap like the non turbo editions

Would someone watching that may have one submit their 944 S or S2 (16 valve motors), or 968?

All 1989 944 turbo are S. Porsche just didn't inscribed the "S" designation.

Ive seen some great youtube videos on how to take those old yellowed fluid tanks and make them bright white again. I would do that to any older car I owned (in the future).

Can't watch this... makes me miss my 90' S2 too much. Never should have sold it.

Compared to mark 3 supra and Fc rx7 which drives better?

The front of the 944 Turbo still gives me the fizz... when the headlights are down.

DAMN THOSE SEATS

Really wish 924,928,944 had better sounds (flat 6 would be cool). I absolutely love the design and always wanted to get one. But couldn't get over the sound :( I'm that weird dude who gets turned on by a girls voice way more than I should be haha. I'm a sucker for that 80s design so much though

9:14 'Bastard!' 😂

I miss my 1983 944 so badly. :-(

Man I loved my '89 944 Turbo. I bought it new in May 1989. I believe all the '89s had all of the Turbo S improvements over the 1986-1988 regular turbo model. Really love seeing a non molested 944 Turbo. It's a shame Porsche didn't mass produce a 968 Turbo but I guess they wouldn't allow a 968 to be faster than the 930. Great video !!
