I've had my 92 968Cab for a month now and driven it everyday to work and then some more on weekends. Comming from the 944 S2 was quite a difference in feel, but once I got used to the weight and feel of the car, man oh man... what a car... 2nd and 3rd high through the rev range and the loveable 4200rpm kick is so additive... I seldom use 4th, and I once used 5th and 6th on the highway.... wooooooopi.... luckily the cops are on strike <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Alround, this is an amazing car to drive, to look at, and to own. The kids insist on dropping the top irrespective how cold it is... I keep a blanket in the boot just in case <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Here some pics after a quick wash on the weekend.... I still need to stop driving and make time to get really neat ones...

My car is still close to stock as well and I have no problems running with cars that have V6's / V8's. I've driven a number of other cars as well but no one does it like Porsche.
No substitute.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

Thanks Jay
I had a Promax chip in the 944S2 for the last 5 yrs, and at the time, there was huge debate on the old 968 board about chips and it scored well but the US guys had a ! light problem with the early chips.
I suppose times have changed and I'll definately look into the RS chip if it supports ROW cars. . I thought to cost a lot more too.

Great looking unit!I've had mine(92' black 968 coupe) for quite a while(got over 90,000) on it.Did belts/rollers ect at 85,000(for the second time under my regime)(3rd time overall) so I should be good to go for a while.Like I said in another post,just oil changes and a set of tires is all it's needed.I sold the Benz and the Rover sucks too much gas so I am driving it(968) everyday now.Hope you have great luck with yours as well.Take care of it.Maybe(now) the most bang for the buck(other than 86' 944 turbo) that Porsche came out with.

[quote name='xrad' post='57241' date='Aug 3 2008, 04:18 PM']Congrats, looks FRESH! Keep your ass safe in J-burg![/quote]
thanks.... its not that bad here...... nothing beats being alive in Africa blasting around in a Porsche on roads built for driving german cars and non- effective law enforcement with pathetically low fines (not that I break the law). We do have the largest Porsche Center in the world for a reason <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
