The red on my 944 has been slowly turning a sad faded colour because I have no garage. At some point I'm going to attempt a detail and cover the fucker as it's not used that much these days. :(

My dad's 968 is definitely Guards Pink at this point. I really want to replace some of the rubber gaskets between the rear bumper cover and fix some other stuff. I think its almost doubled in value in the last 5 years, he really could sell it and get a Miata, which is probably a better car for him all around. Maybe get into an off-lease ND.

Yeah, the values on the better transaxle Porsches (944 S2, Turbo S and 968) are all worth alot more than what they were even 4 years ago. I have considered getting the last of the rust issues sorted, detailing it and selling to get a modern sporty hatchback.

That's not an interceptor, it's an FF, or at least has FF fenders :goonsay:

I wonder if it's still AWD.

It kind of has to be an FF if it has the wings, the wheelbase is different.

No reason it wouldn't still be AWD as far as I can see, engine looks far back enough.

Deep pockets required to justify modifying an FF if you're just going to go with RWD.

If thats still got the AWD,then holy poo poo awesome. If it's just RWD... gently caress that oval office in the ear with a screwdriver, you do NOT remove the AWD of a FF under any circumstance

The interior looks better than I expected, I assumed they'd have ruined it, but other than the stupid speaker setup it seems about "right".

TBH, ditch the supercharger for a more compact solution and get it painted and looking standard outside and it'd be pretty cool.

Just jump to about 10 minutes, you'll hear the anchors saying they can't keep up. The rest of the video is boring manhunt footage I think.

edit: at 29 min he stops/runs out of gas and tries to run into a field.
