That's why Porsche has been trying to kill it off for the last 30 years. But technology, as usual, screwed everything up, and they found a way to compensate for all the the design flaws by using 400 on-board computers.
Last year, I was thinking of buying an '88-89 3.2, but the driving experience was disappointing, My 944S2 was a better car.

this is "dead nuts" accurate! the original design was "f**ked from the beginning from a chassis handling perspective,and compensating for this over the years has been an engineering priority,along with systematically boosting
the (o.t.d.) price substantially to equal the (g.n.p.) of a third world country.
the germans get every last dime for their cars,because,after all,shouldn't you be expected to pay for "alleged" "superior german engineering?" (lol!)
