This is the second "article" I've read this week about someone "saving gas" in a 944. (though the other guy traded a full size pickup for the P).

Well, isn't that a surprise! |
Lol that's a great comparison! haha, they do get pretty good mileage for what they are. The 944 turbo not so much.... those get worse mileage, but the turbo models are a BLAST to drive! Deceiving little cars too with a few modifications, those turbos are track monsters.
I think the best video I saw so far that cracked me up was a vintage race that had been posted with a dashcam that was a good 30 minutes long. There was a bunch of 911 vintage N/A models and a few 930 models, and a bunch of 924s. One guy had this great little euro model that had been beefed up and stripped to the bone and was kicking the crap out of the 911 models in the twisties, granted he was getting passed on the straights pretty easy, he still made up for it in the corners. Insanely entertaining. I'm all about small little cars.
The 930 will be a fun toy, but they get horrific mileage, and the weight distribution makes them a finicky car to drive if you're not careful in the corners. They're called the sledgehammer for a reason.... nonetheless i'm looking forward to one. Then again I suppose that's the difference between practical and "toy".
