The Porsche has a slightly better resale. Neither is considered a classic or collectible car. Only the AWD Mitsus and the 944 Turbos are of any interest to collectors, not the base models—they are just old used cars and always will be.
it TOTALLY depends on the condition of the cars. both are old AND common so for collectors they are not a big deal. the 944 is probably a better choice but both will cost more than they are worth on short order should they need repair…and they WILL need repair!
The Mitsubishi VR4 spyder is going to be worth way more than the 944. The 944 is an Audi not a “true” Porsche, True are rear engine air cooled. A non turbo 3000GT will be worth less than a stock 944. As the owner of a 1965 356C cab and a 1988 Commemorative 911 coupe as well as the owner of a 1991 Dodge stealth R/T twin turbo I know what I’m talking about.
As someone else said, it really depends on the condiditon of the cars. Unless they are both pristine, I would guess that given the same condition, the Mitsu would be more valuable. 1983 was the first year and would be the least valuable of all of the years, unless again it was in pristine condition and/or had some other collector value (ie the first one, etc) It didn’t have power steering and is light in weight compared to other 944′s, but that would only be of interest to racers. It has the least amount of power, and most feel that you should only by a 1985.5 or ater 944 due to refinements of the later cars.
You won’t find anything special about the handling of a 1983 944, unless the suspension etc has been modified or updated. Power is very pedestrian at 140 I believe.
The Mitsu would be newer, heavier, more power (V6 vs a 4), more modern, and probably a better car for reliability and cost of repairs.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Buy the Porsche and you will get all the pussycat and head jobs you want. Then just repaint a cool color like white or orange.
