1990 Porsche 944 S2 Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Montgomery, Alabama, United States
|
I looked for a long time to find a well-maintained, undamaged, low mileage 944 s2 cabriolet, and if you've been looking, you know how hard they are to find. This is a stunning 46,675 mile car and is all original with no modifications. Guards red exterior with black leather, black top and near new tires on factory 16" s2 alloys. Car runs, drives, looks outstanding. –Exterior- Guards red finish is excellent. The surface is straight with no door dings and shines very well, as you'd expect of a garaged car (many clear coats of the day oxidized and became hazy; this paint looks fabulous). The rear tag panel had scratches when I purchased the car and I had it professionally matched and painted, along with the small, always faded plastic rear fender caps. The paint in the door jambs, under the hood, and other "non-viewed" places still looks excellent. The doors, hood and trunk shut with authority and all gaps are uniform and proper. –Interior- The black interior is in outstanding condition, noting the miles and care given the car. The door panels are uncut and pristine, as is the carpet. The dash has no cracks, nor does the console. The rear seats appear as new. The switchgear works great. Air conditioning blows cold; power seats, windows, mirrors, locks and cruise all work as designed. This 944 even has heated seats! There are no faults known regarding the operation of this car's electronics, even the clock works! Also, the car has it's original am/fm cassette palyer, along with the optional amp and equalizer. The original, unused inflatable spare is present, as is the porsche air pump and all original trunk accessories (tools, plastic gloves, etc). –Engine, Drivetrain- The car starts with the first twist of the key, settles into an easy idle, and holds excellent pressure. It pulls strong and shifts crisply, without the sloppiness of higher mile cars. This car is steady and stable at any speed. Steering and clutch feel fantastic with no shudder; it brakes with no pulling or fading. Honestly, the car drives just like you'd hope a low mileage well-maintained porsche would. Additionally, a full belt service(timing, etc.), along with water pump replacement, was performed within the last 350 miles. –Overall- This 944 is super reliable, fast enough for most any street driver, capable, plus get fantastic fuel economy. The tops seal as well as a coupe, and these cars are handlers. I've owned lots of sports cars, but the s2 is a league ahead in confident, no drama performance and handling. This car is as nice an example as i have seen; I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere, has ample trunk space, and is serviced for road worthiness. Fly in and drive it home!....best wishes in your bidding. |

Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.
Evo pits BMW M3 against Porsche Macan in drag battle
Sun, 24 Aug 2014If you want to move five passengers in very rapid fashion and you've got a $75,000 budget, two newly introduced four-door models immediately come to mind - both are the highest performing vehicles in their respective segments. But which is faster off the line, to the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark or flat-out over an even longer run? Evo took both to paved aircraft runway to find out.
In lane one we've got the all-new Porsche Macan Turbo, which boasts a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 rated at 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Porsche is fitted with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, and the 4,244-pound crossover has the traction advantage of standard all-wheel drive. In lane two is the all-new BMW M3, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It is also equipped with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, but only the rear wheels of the 3,595-pound sedan are driven. Both the BMW and Porsche arrive with launch control, which helps to remove driver error off the line.
Which automaker's launch control system is better off the line? Does all-wheel-drive grip give the crossover the advantage it needs to overcome its adversary's power-to-weight advantage? Will aerodynamics factor into the results? Which would you put in your garage, and why? The video may surprise you.
Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now
Fri, 14 Feb 2014"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.
