How bad are they?

One of my uncles had a white 944.

Maintenance is ass on these cars if you don't know what you're getting into.

They're a fun car to drive if they're driving well though. Also great to compete in stock trim within their class.

That is my opinion and your mileage may vary of course.

My friend has a 928 that he rarely drives because its a pain to fix and to keep running

they are pretty meh, but spec 944 is an awesome class i know a lot of people who compete. i wanted to try it if i ever had room for more cars.

One of the local autox guys crankwalked one.

He was posting on the forums about a clutch issue he noticed at one event, and I was like "Hmmm, sounds like crankwalk", and he was like "WTF no way". Needless to say he wasn't too happy when he found out I was right.

What is the deal with you and crankwalking everything? Seems to follow you like the plague! LOL

The cars of everyone around me have walked (even a Honda, lol). Mine never has

I suspect you made a deal with the DSM grim reaper, in exchange for your crank you use your powers to walk everyone's crankshafts around you sparing yours. lol . I kid... or not....

I've been wanting to post something on topic for the longest time but my internet at home has been completely messed up and I can't have my car pics here at work.

I don't think I did... I haven't signed anything in blood (or engine oil) in recent memory...

I just think that I'm around unlucky people. The Honda was a built D-series, and the freeze plug in the head popped off, relieving the motor of sufficient oil pressure. We don't know why the 944 walked, and ironically, non of the local DSM guys have had issues with cranks in the past few years.

And couldn't you have Bmw post pics for you?

my uncle used to have a time attack biult 944. GT45R turbo,an E charger (according to him it helped. BTW thats the nice one that freewheels when the air moves to fast and kept his turbo spooled.), lots of stuff i dont know if i have any pictures of before he sold it(heartattack he quit racing.)

That is huge turbo, holy crap. You sure you didn't mean a GT35R?

I'll have some other shots later but here's some stuff from a friend's flickr from Supercar Sunday two weeks back.







and obligatory: (spoilered cause you're probably getting tired of seeing my kind round here)

SPOILER

Out of all those,Ive only seen the F40 (2 of them to be exact) and S30 (x4)

Guess Ill do the same thing J did







It seems like everytime I dont go,I miss seeing something really nice
I missed the GT2,ACR Viper,and 2 DBSs this time,and in August,I missed an F50,Carrera GT,S7,and 3 Challenge Stradales (saw one of those the next month)

That's one clean Vector, surprised there are any left, great pics guys

that's a nice looking evo

I was at a show once with maybe five vectors. Those are some nice ass cars.


And any more info about this hood J?


First I've ever seen that looks good, and I'd *love* to get one for my '78, since it's going to be seeing a pisston of nighttime driving on empty roads.

Here's some shots I took at the recent Philly International Auto Show.















Can you say stretch?




And here's my car during last night's winter storm lol

Ah, Philly auto show, such a disappointment every year...

I will try to ask the guy at the next meet I see him at for you.

Just some more old shots
If I had a Cayman,Id want it to be like this one

One of the new facelifted GT3s


Im not gonna lie,this thing was huge


Diablo VTTT,one of only 7 made

I want the silver 550 Maranello in the pic of the Phantom.

Ill hand it to you,the 550 is arguably one of the best looking cars theyve made

Cant go wrong with it


Oh,and one of my friends from CP,who lives in London,caught the only Aston Martin Cygnet in the world. He said he walked out of a resteraunt and saw it,he talked to the people there and they said they were taking pictures of it for the Aston Martin Magazine.Ill get the pics as soon as he uploads them there and show yall.

For those who dont know what the Cygnet looks like
