944 turbo S owner here, couldnt wait for this video to come out and am very glad Matt loved it! Three corrections: 1)it is 250Hp 2) around 1650 were built, 1000 with the Silverrose interior 3)it costed 105000 of todays USD, so comparing it to a Miata sounds a cruel :) This is a serious track car who was fitted with a comfortable interior and an exhaust cutting over 20 horses. Thanks Matt and Dillon!

how are miatas not considered "serious track cars"? you put too much weight onto the financial aspect of that statement. miatas have a perfect 50/50 weight ratio, rwd, mostly all manual etc... and also go to a track and tell me when you DON'T see one there.

The early '88 944S were originally all Silverose and were a special "stand alone" model. They were originally designed to be a limited production model. They became so popular that they wound up being a regular model available in any Porsche color. At the time of their production, they were known as one of the hottest cars that you could buy.

When I was in high school, I saved 5K in cash to get a car. Saw that 944 prices had dropped. This was in 1990! I was 17 and found a one-owner 1985 1/2 with only 35K miles, and I traded a crap Saab worth 6K, but somehow got the dealer to give me 9500 for the Saab, and paid 4K cash on a 13,500 ask for the 944. Red. Phone dial wheels. Perfect interior. And with the newer 911 dash of that time. For a 17 year old kid, it was sick. My friends hated me, but I was like: fuck you, I earned it, and they were all driving cars three times as expensive from mommy and daddy's garage.

This 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S (also referred to as 951) is one of the 380 special "Silver Rose" editions. It is a stock vehicle, well cared for, with over 195,000 original miles. To go from the regular 944 Turbo to the Turbo S, you got a larger turbo, ride height-adjustable Koni shocks, a hardened steel-cased gearbox, and many other factory race spec parts. The 944 Turbo S was actually faster around the track then its bigger brother the 930 Turbo, according to a period test in Automobile Magazine.

BD-Power has a turbine diverter valve for T4-style turbos that makes it spool up like a tiny turbo. It should work for other turbos too. it doesn't affect horsepower, but the turbo spools faster and makes more low-end torque. putting something on that to help lessen the lag would be interesting
