Re: Turbo or S2?? Best Buy 944? (Determined Buyer)
Broken meaning something is wrong with it and in need of repair. If you find a 951 for that price something probably happened like a timing belt failure and head is trashed and they cant afford to fix it so instead of fixing it they would rather sell it. I hear alot of stories of people buying so called great deals on a 951 in perfect condition and after purchasing find out the timin belt needs replaced, head needs rebuilt, etc. Which they soon find out later would have been cheaper to just hold out an buy a 951 that had full records and was priced a few thousand more.
Alot of people buy these cars not knowing anything about them, they see the word Porsche and they go nuts. Then they beat the crap out of it and when something fails they find out how much the damage is gonna cost and there quick to sell instead of facing the bill and alot of people will hide the problems with the car from you and you get stuck with a bill or they just sell the car too.

It is funny how every one on this thread thinks they know about these cars....
The reason the 944S2 or 968 for that matter has stronger internals and can handle MORE power that the 2.5 turbo is becuase of the block design. In the 2.5 motor, the cylinders are not connected to each other. In the 3.o liter block, the cylinders are symeised (sp?) . If anyone has seen both of the blocks, they will know what I am talking about. In the 2.5 block, the cylinders will move under large boost pressures and therefore there is a high head gasket failure rate. In the 3.0 block, the cylinders are connected which reduces the movement of the cylinders and it handles much more power without the same frequency of failures.... There is a few more differences, but I wont bore you with the details... My 2 cents.... One more thing, the externals of both blocks are identical which means you can use all of your 2.5 stuff (exhaust headers, intake , 8v head. etc.) and put it on your 3.0 block. There is one of the water journals that needs to be modified for the 8v head to bolt up, but it is faily simple.... Bye
