I was beginning to look seriously at 1980's Porsche 911's (SC or Carrera) as a weekend fun car, but as much as I love how those cars look, I am wondering if a 944 would be a better choice.
The main reason is that I really want to run the car on a track a couple of times a year and if I'm going to stuff the thing into a tire wall (hopefully not, but you never know) I'd rather wave bye-bye to $5,000-$10,000 than $15,000-$25,000. The maintenance should be a little easier too and there is no shortage of upgrade opportunities.
I have been spending a lot of time on Rennlist lately, but would appreciate input from Saabnetters with 944 experience - and in particular comparing the turbo with the naturally aspirated versions. The n/a versions are cheaper to buy and to run, but it would seem a little odd to own a Porsche that is slower than my daily driver (Stage 3 9kCSE). Of course, it's not all about horsepower:-)
