Re: What's the best 944?
random thoughts, all IMO
83's make some of the best autox toys. The only place where manual steering can be a friend. (most 83's have manual steering , just to warn you) the trannys on all base models are "weak" for hard shifting/starts and expensive $400-1200 to replace. The engine costs $$$$$ to upgrade but the suspension is where the cars really shine.
16v "S model" cars are rare. have turbo tranny, few upgrades,
83-87 models have mostly the same 2.5 motors
89+ models have a 2.7 motor IIRC
Turbo lag can be compensated out and the turbos are VERY modifiable (hint, hint, street racing) the trans is also alot stronger for handling hard launches.
