Small batches of Weissach built 924 gtr were built to go out into the Renn World and bring home bacon for the Marque. One of the BFG T/A radial cars (sister to this one in #87 livery) took 1st place IMSA gto class, 24 Stunden / LeMans 1982. On this side of the pond Mr. Holbert tuned his 924 racers for D prod (¿) and did very well.
Almost a perfect 50/ 50 weight distribution, lightweight, turbocharged gtr made just under 300 bhp, and laid the foundation for the 944 to come.

It’s amazing that vw chose to dump air cooled cars at the same time Porsche did. The scirocco replaced the 914 at the Karman factory and the 924 was going to be the low end Porsche and the 928 was going to be the high end Porsche. Then the Japanese kicked Porsche’s ass and changed everything for Porsche.

my recurrent daydream is for Porsche in the late '60s to somehow be able to finance the 914 -6 only by themselves.
this could have been via banks but the flip side would be having a banker on the board which Ferry would not have even considered
the pricings would be DM 16,000 and US$4,000
the 914-6's development could have paralled that of the 911 over time with a 2.4 motor around 1980, the 916 trans along with an uprated interior and maybe a revised front similar to the Karmann 4 headlighter
and RHD and air con . . .

just dreaming . . .
cheers
Dennis

It surprises me that people diss the 924. It reminds me of the snobbery I saw when I first joined the PCA back in the mid-80's. I can't believe that 914 owners would be that way after all those years of the crap we took. There's something to like about every car; if not for you, then for someone else.

@Pursang - I agree, especially when many of those have not driven a properly sorted one.

Personally I am a big fan of the 944 and 968, but even if they were available today, I bet they would be twice the price of my BRZ.

Exactly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I knew it had the Fox engine but I thought the Fox had a front tranny, not a rear transaxle?

The Fox layout was longitudinal. Porsche added a "torque tube" that connected the front engine to the rear transmission. (image from https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-944-951...transaxle.html) This is a later 944

That's a great illustration. Amazing what they threw together from the part bins. Thanks!

Thanks but I knew this about 924s, 944s & 968s. Clay stated in his previous post the original 924 had a Fox engine, which I agree with, but he also confused me when he said it had the transmission too. I remember the Audi Fox as being front wheel drive, so I figured he was mistaken when he stated it came with the Fox tranny. Longitudinal or not, if that's a Fox transaxle then the Fox had a much longer front end than I remember. Cool picture though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Is that a manual or auto? The big black item on the back end?

Never paid too much attention to the 924/944s. Then I went and looked at CL. There's a rough, no more so than a 914 project car, 944 for sale nearby in Port Orchard. Pictures show Fuchs wheels. If they are the real deal prob worth more than the asking. $1700. So...Ls conversation under $10k?

The owner of our shop wants to put an LS in a Ferrari that’s getting repaired. We put one in a 928 track car and it was a monster.
I can understand the attraction, in about a week and for the cost of a decent T4 rebuild, the brand new LS engine shows up at your doorstep.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) OK sure it's his car . . . live and let live.

But I still reserve the right to pass my own personal judgement. Stupid is as stupid does.

1) Destroy value of Ferrari
2) Still get beat in stop light race by stock Tesla P100D AWD Ludicrious mode.
3) Show to others how little appreaciation you have for the Marque
4) Sends the message that you really couldn't afford to properly fix the Ferrari
5) Get snickered at by others for #1 thru #4

Faster stop light to stop light starting at $138k? Ok. I say a 310 mile run and see who gets there first. For pink slips...I get to pick the route. Everett to Spokane WA. On Hwy 2 the whole distance.
