So some guy complemented my car when i parked it earliertoday. Who knew what it was right off the bat then prceeded to ask if it was a four or six cylinder. Of course i had a puzzled look on my face. HE told me that he had an 86 944 with a porsche inline 6 in it. As he put it, "it was a special option one could have." Thats when i cut the convo short because well, can you say crack baby? He said that there were roughly 5 thousand of them floating around. Has anyone ver heard of a stock straight 6 944 engine?? i have read a few books with portions on the 944 and have NEVER come across that.

you were smart to cut the conversation short, no good would have come of it.

The guy was just trying to impress u. He had no idea what he was talking about.

Nope no such thing. Maybe a custom swap, but not ever stock.

I can't even think of an inline 6 that porsche ever made. Anybody?

iloveporsches

Nope, and I really doubt you could ever get a inline six shoved in there.

Theres a guy doing it with a Supra inline 6. One of the Nissan ones could also possibly fit (RB26 or something).

But totally custom there.

You should have responding with something equally retarded like, 'well my 944 has the super extra awesome option."

I heard that there were a couple of V6 test mules.

Friendan

Yup, BS.
I would however like to see conversion other than a Renegade Chevy engine. Like the Supra Brian mentioned.

If there were 5,000 floating around, you would think we'd see some posts about them somewhere.

He probably thought it was a BMW

Porsche toyed with the V8 and V6 in the 944 before settling on the 4 cylinder(edit). The V6 came close to making it but due to weight and cost effectiveness, it lost out.

that reminds me a of a story i heard on the supra boards. This guy is ata party and is talking to some guy shooting the chit and he's telling him about this awsome supra he owns. The guy goes on to tell him about how big the v6 in it is and its like 1200hp and its got nawws and rimzz and all of this junk. The listener-who is writing this story- says hey that sounds awsome lets go check it out and has his buddy come outside w/ him to check this car out. The guy points to this white tt-supra sitting in the lot and starts walking over to it. The guy and his buddy are pretty impressed and as him to open it up and let them take a look. The bragger says oh his friend has the keys and starts back peddling and making excuses. The listener and his buddy decide enough is enough and he pulls the key out of his pocket and unlocks the doors, much to the braggers horror. You see, the guy listening to the story was the real owner of the car. Too funny.
