Stock 944 or is this Turbo? I can't tell what that is below the tachometer...is that a boost gauge? Great car...looks like a ton of fun to drive but if you don't mind, could you tell me if it's stock or any mods you have done? I'm thinking of buying one in a couple of months, wondering if this is the kind of acceleration I can expect....seems just fine for me if this is a stock engine?
Not the OP but this is a naturally aspirated car. The gauge you mention is a vacuum gauge that shows your 'economy' - that's where the turbo boost gauge would be on a turbo model. An European spec N/A model goes from zero to sixty in about 8 seconds and tops out at 215 km/h. Not fast by today's standards but still quicker than a low spec economy car of today.
@@varmastiko2908 Hey thanks so much, I didn't realize NA 944's had anything below the tach so it was confusing Appreciate the help! :) And agree completely, 8 seconds is quicker than some cars today and personally I"m fine with what an NA 944 offers although ideally I have to believe an LS swap would be an amazing combo that car's handling.
@@locophoto6881 Sounds like you're in the US which means the N/A cars will be somewhat slower than the Euro spec cars; there's roughly a 20 horsepower deficit. That being said they are still light cars and the point of them was always their road holding and handling, allowing them to maintain speed much better that you would expect of an '80s car. Obviously the Turbo models will be much quicker but in your case I would also look at the later S2 models. They don't seem to have increased in price nearly as much as the Turbo models have and they are still much quicker than the 2.5 liter 8 valve N/A models.
Very nice car. Greetings from a 944S Driver from germany
