I remember when this car came out. I was driving in a crappy Chevy from Boston north to Nashua, NH. I was in my early 20's and remember seeing this car for the first time. It was a yellow cabriolet with what appeared to be two beautiful 20 something women driving. I not sure what made the bigger impression. The car or the fact the two beautiful women waved at me. I remember what the car looked like though, however I couldn't tell you if the women were really as pretty as I thought.

I own a '95 968 6-speed and I absolutely love it. I sold the '97 911T (probably should have kept THAT one), the 968CS (Euro spec), both 944's and the 924 after driving the 968. Aside from the 911's turbo-induced greatness, the 968 coupe does everything else better. People who don't know any better often ask me if it is the "new" Porsche. Funny. You should see their faces when I tell them it's 20 years old!!! My 968 has made many long road trips to Parade and Escape events all while delivering a quiet, comfortable ride + nearly 30 MPG with the A/C on. It's a blast on the track as well as on the street. I will never let this car go.

I owned a 968 cabriolet and eventually replaced it with a Honda S2000. I prefer the S2K, but the 2 cars have some similarities. The variable valve timing in the 968 is a lot like VTEC (though it kicks in at around 4000 RPMs). One difference is that the 968 requires a lot of expensive regular maintenance, such as replacing the timing belt every few years. Ultimately, my 968 suffered from so many mechanical problems, plus overheating, that I was glad to get rid of it.
@ricksays71332 жыл бұрын
I have a 968 and a guy with a Honda S2000 struck a conversation with me at a gas station one day. It was a great conversation on comparison between our cars. He was pretty surprised on how much more maintenance the 968 required compared to his S2000. I use my 968 a few days on a weekly basis these days. I work on its basic maintenance on my own. I keep at least $2k-3k for any maintenance that requires equipment or technical experience that I don’t have. Right now the 968 community is waiting on Porsche to solve an issue on parts availability for its timing belt tensioner.

I had a 944 end of the eighties (metallic wine red) kept it til 92/93 when I moved up to a new 968 (metallic silver wi full grey leather) kept it til 2004 when I moved up to a 911 4S Cab. Tiptronic Slate grey wi beige leather, navy roof (also came wi hard top for winter which I stored in a spare bedroom - never used.) Sold 911 in 2009 when my 2 boys could not fit in back. If I could bring one back to the future and find one of these on my drive tomorrow, it would have to be the 968. Relatively comfy even long journeys (911 - Not), siting low and legs outstreched, not bent, reasonably economical....fast.....top speed....handling.....noise levels....all mod-cons (for then) a.c., p steering, electric windows, and a massive boot wi seats down and boot cover cloth removed. I once bought and took home 2 sun-loungers in 968, (Grosfilex) did not fold much either! Loved the pop out headlights (as opposed to the pop up on 944.)

Part of the sales problem for this car may have been the stigma of a 4 cylinder engine, despite how brilliant it was...”you paid how much? And its only got a 4- banger??” Perhaps If Porsche would have developed a inline 6 or V6, it would have sold more. I think a 90 degree V6, ( like the 928’s 90 degree V8) being a low profile engine, could possibly have worked nicely in that engine bay.
@anthonyalvear65996 жыл бұрын
probably, but Porsche was with serious money problems and that's why I developed an evolution of the 944, one of the most successful there was, afterwards, thanks to the Boxster, it could get out of the red numbers, and now we see the successful company that it is.
@erikhertzer84346 жыл бұрын
Anthony Alvear : yes You are probably right, it was cheaper to use 1/2 the 928 powerplant than to develope a new V6, unless they would have used a Porschified version of the VW V6...but I know, that would have been another heresy they barely got away with on the 924...and yes it warms my heart to see Porsche thriving as they are today. Stats show they make more profit per vehicle that any other mfg. They deserve it.

I had two of these, a red tiptronic, and a stunning polar silver six speed....... Which I really, really regret selling now (this was about 12 years ago). I've also had 944 turbos and although the rush is different, the 968 is just a better car with more usable power. It's amazing to think a non-turbo 4 cylinder back in the early 90s could run a low 14 second 1/4 mile. Not fast by today's standards but 30 years ago that wasn't bad at all. But the one thing that really stands out is the absolute billet like structure of these cars. I think even today the way the doors close is the standard to which every car should be. It's like they chiseled out one solid piece of rock, and motorized it! Awesome cars

Chris, I sure hope you are right. As Cayman's popularity continues to increase, and as Porsche continues to focus more effort on the Cayman platform, it seems like the venerable 911 has indeed been perfected to the point that it is too costly for Porsche to throw truckloads of money at a car that will not provide a sound return on the corporate investment. That said, it looks like the air-cooled 911's are in the throws of supreme valuation these days. It would appear as though the 924, 944, and 968 should be ready to stand with 928 as the new "gotta' have it" Porsche classic, within the next several years. Regardless, I am keeping my 968 whether its value increases or not. Cheers!
