not only will he give you a run in acceleration but he will seriously be right with you in the corners.
944's were one of the best handling Porsches ever built.S13 hatchs are their equals in the handling department which is a big statement about our cars. In acceleration the stock Porsches are going to be a challenge like someone listed earlier based on which year it is.
I was considering getting one a few years ago. My neighbor was trying to convince me too. He is a Porsche mechanic. Anyways the long and the short is the interior is not as nicely laid out as the S13 . Its downright cavernous. The other thing is they are expensive as hell to maintain if you have any problems . Forgot about engine work, its costly at the least. Beyond that they are the biggest bargain this side of Mexico. You can get into one for the same price you could pick up a S13 hatch with high mileage. They have absolutely no value. They are looked down on by 911 owners.Snobs <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> yup.

If he's got anything more than a &nbsp;2.0 liters NA model, you'll have trouble. &nbsp;They have 30 hp on you and weigh about the same. &nbsp;If its an early model like Guidot said, it'll depend on the driver since weight and hp are almost identical. &nbsp;If it is any S or turbo model......

You can only win if the car is in bad shape and the driver is even worst &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzz:'> &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
