"In the fall of 1991, Zuffenhausen announced the Series 3 944, model designation 968. There was a brief period where what we now know as the 968 was to be designated the 944 S3"

My car started life as a 1989 Porsche 944. Not a Turbo, not an S, not an S2. But as fate would have it, I have been able to set out on a journey with some good friends to create a 944 the way it was meant to be. The "series 3" 944 took on styling changes, as well as a name change, and we know it now as the 968. But as the above excerpt from "The Art Of Racing" (http://www.cantonia.com/history.html) mentions, the 968 was originally going to be named the "944 S3".

Knowing this, to me a 944 with a 968 engine under the hood is appropriately termed the S3. It just makes sense. I suppose tracking down the badging to display this new model disignation on the rear end of Argento will be the easy part. The hard part? Well, "hard" is such a relative term. I'll let you decide for yourself the difficulty of the task at hand, for a couple of friends with eyes bigger then their wallets, and not enough time to spare.
