944 S2 valuation?

I understand (though take it from me you can make a 944T a pretty unpleasant and noisy car). From the time I saw it I have so say anyone looking for one could do worse than buy it.

Noisy I can understand but unpleasant?? Unpleasant suggests it is spoilt, do you mean a more `attack your senses` type of car [8D]

I`d love to drive a dedicated track 944. I still couldnt get over the amount of body roll [] compared to my other cars but the way it still tucked in when lots of others would have gone straight on was v v impressive. Needs uprated brakes too, I got brake fade cos of late braking (my mistake) as I still assumed it would stop as quick as the lighter cars I`ve driven having heard how good the brakes were. Big reds (or yellows) and Porterfields would transform its potential.

Unpleasant as in hot and with a juddery clutch, no power steering, zero ability to idle unless warm and thinly padded seats.. None of that matters on track, but on the road it's nowhere near the same league as a standard car. I'm not even going to try to change your mind, but I think my car with KW's and Weltmeister ARBs might go a long way to answering your roly-poly issues and the big blacks with Performance Friction 97 pads may well do the same for braking. Neither of those mods alone are a bad thing for the road, unless squealing brakes bother you, but it's still some way north of £3,000 to add them.

Didnt want to spend that sort of cash. Lost money IMO and not attractive to purists unfortunately unless you are keeping the car. Squealing brakes I`m used to (rattling pads also) The sort of brakes I like are non servoed where you can feel the pads/disc being eaten away through the pedal, totally progressive.

I am also concious of the costs if the 944`s go wrong. I would fix myself but have less time these days and as ststed before they are quite complicated to work on IMHO.

Ho hum, we`ll see.

Sorry to have hijacked the thread []
