This is a 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo with 26,xxx original miles. I have many receipts from Porsche dealer oil changes, and other minor tune-ups, that show the mileage over time. I am the forth owner and have data on the other three owners. Lots of pictures can be found at the following web page:

https://sites.google.com/site/gregscarprojects/1988-porsche-944-turbo


The original owner had the car until 15K, and then sold it to a person who took mileage to 23K. The last owner held it the longest, while I purchased from his son. The 944 has a new Lindsey Racing exhaust, dual DMF chips, and Lindsey MAF conversion. It includes one really nice complete J&L Audio stereo system.

I paid a premium for the car because us was worth it. I completed a total fluid sub-system flush (transmission, brake lines, engine, water, power steering, etc).
The timing belt and AC compressor are new. Early on, the factory replaced the clutch. The shocks, wheels and tires are new too.
The brake pads and disks show no wear, looking like they came from the factory. I have all the receipts to show the service and parts.

Other than those modifications it is completely factory, except it has 330HP pulling hard and a Blast to Drive! The interior is completely beautiful with no blemishes. Every switch works and all the plastic/vinyl/fabric looks like new (nice and soft).

What can I say negative about the car? It has one blemish on the rear black plastic bumper and front headlight, and a small blemish on the rear fiberglass under-spoiler (all have been touched up now). I also see just a tiny touch of road rash on the passenger's front-side rear splash guard(not anything you can see unless you really look hard).

The only major issue is that the car had a totally beautify repaint job done a few years back. The painter did a great job hiding any idea that it has been repainted. Read on the web and learn why paint was not good back in those days.

The underside is just beautiful as you can see from the pictures. Any person can tell the car was not driven in the rain. All of the original white part number stickers are in place on the wires, etc, as are the red paint markers by the factory workers who checked for quality.

What else will go with this car? The ORIGINAL window sticker of $42,000, and lots and lots of car articles from the 80's and 90's time frame. I have the few original parts that were removed to install the upgrades, as well as a COMPLETE set of Dealer Service Manuals. The manuals are a complete detail of the car nut-to-nut and connector-to-connector.

I also just found an original brochure for the Porsche 1988 944 series that is really cool to read (the brochure says the 1988 Turbo 944 was the first mid-level premium sports car to get dual air bags and anti-lock brakes!)

A few of other things to note from the pictures is the cool beginner's service guide VCR tape. I burned a DVD of the tape and it comes with the car. Next, the key-fob's light up nice and bright when you press the button. Finally, do not to forget your hats!

Please take the time to look at all the pictures and check out that dyno result of HP to the rear wheels! This is a perfect, reliable, sports car that cost so much less than anything in its collector car class. The care has almost a perfect 50-50 weight ratio and that is why it is so hard to find one that is not trashed. If you look on car sale lists you will find many 944's with over 200k miles on them just to prove the reliability and near bullet-proof engines.

Porsche 911 RSR in bizarre, terrifying rally crash

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.

China may surpass US as Porsche's largest market this year thanks to Cayenne

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

China has already surpassed the United States as the world's largest automotive market, so it's no surprise that one day soon it will be the world's largest Porsche market.
In fact, that day may already be here, as the PRC's Porschephiles outbought their American counterparts in September. Porsche's Chinese dealers sold 4,344 cars last month to America's 3,607. Through all of 2014 so far, though, the US is still the larger market for the German brand.
"The U.S. performed very well this year, after a great year in 2013, but China is growing fast, thanks to the Cayenne which is our best seller there," Porsche's sales and marketing boss, Bernhard Maier, told Automotive News Europe.

Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
