It's either age, loss of horsepower or a driver issue, but the 944 Turbo originally clocked in at 13.9sec (0-60 5.5sec) and the BMW M5 14.6 secs (0-60 6.3sec) back in the day.

First car I ever drove was my dad's 944. They will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.

I would have liked to have seen an 87 Buick GN against the Supra.

[HungNguyen-mobs]

That was a fun video. I would love to see your vintage sports cars against a modern Camry/Accord or even a minivan.

[BakouMOH]

Since you have a 944 on hand, it would be really interesting to do a comparo with a GR86. On paper, they are very similar in terms of size, weight, and power.

[ggkik]

So according to your logic, an 18, 3sec M535i should race along the new fast contender, and not the 17, 8sec 944...Εven when the latter could run again with full boost...

I don't think that's the fastest version of the 944 Turbo, that looks like an 87 version, or at least the wheels are from an 87; the pre-1989 versions only had 217 HP, but the Turbo S, and the 89s had 247. I had a 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo, and LOVED that car. Eventually took it to PowerHaus in Arizona, and had a 2.8 conversion done, with a hybrid K27 turbo and other work. Ended up with 500+ RWHP and 520 Ft/lbs torque at 1.2 bar boost. IT handled incredibly well, and for its day was stinking fast after those mods, but wouldn't even rate these days. My car ended up being featured in Excellence magazine, here in the USA. Miss that car...

Loved the video but I think a modern camry would beat the 3 80s vehicles
Loved the music too

Brought back memories. I had a 951 for 23 years and you definately have to learn how to drive it fast at low speeds. On bost it wasa flyer. The 535is was and is a great car as well. In ts day it would beat Camaros and Firebirds, However the 951 was a high spead champ eating Mustangs, 911s, C4 Corvettes, etc. Thanks!

[snowman]

Great video. Sitting in one of those is like going back in time

The 80’s icons may be slow, but they are beautiful!

[jacko]

Fun video guys .
I had a 87 944 turbo back in the day, it was a fun car to drive in the twisties but not great off the line .
Even a new Toyota 86 base stick shift which is the Best Buy on the planet right now will blow these old classics away

[Offshore]

This is real world testing. Love it. Even thought my favorite are your off road reviews

[AllanPorter]

Thanks for the fun vid. Put a smile on my face going into the weekend.

[markcoopers]

I almost wish they held off telling us ALL quarter mile times until the end, maybe as a chart or summary breakdown. Share 0-60 times throughout, but help me build suspense and pretend I don't know who will win.

[RadostinVelchev]

I was surprised to see how slow those cars are, my 1.9TDI runs 16.4s in the 1/4 mile

[endall]

The 944 is a great car. A few mods to help with boost and charge cooling, and that would be a lot more competitive. You'd also have to drive it like you mean it. Looking at you, Tommy:-)

[beowulfgrendel]

We need a race between the Supra, Z, stinger. Unfortunately three diamonds seems to be out of the game these days. Wish you brought out the underdog Santa Cruz with the 2.5T. Wonder how it fairs against the 2.0T Supra

[kewlhunter]

The 944 turbo has some issues as it should be much quicker and you were reading the boost gauge wrong. It doesn't make 2 bar of boost(28ish #). 1 bar on gauge is Atmospheric pressure, below is vacuum, so you had zero boost on the second run. A single run would not cause heat soak, so you had zero boost on the second run. These cars will do run after run no problem

[schrodingerscat]

I find this abusive to 80s icons. The 911 915 gearbox was never meant for drag racing, especially when the transmission was cold. I don’t know why everyone is so fixated In straight line performance, that was never what those three cars were about.
