944S2NUT

Just curious as the 3.0L engine is quite a bit heavier than the standard 2.5L 8V.

I was told by a mechanic that my S2 was 51-49 and that was one of the best P ever built>

Its actually going to be around 51/49 (with no driver) or so. However, actual weight distribution with the driver in the car is really dependent on the weight of the driver as well as how far back you sit. Tall guys may actually get the weight distribution to 49/51, but all things being equal it makes no practical difference for street driving.

I thought it said somewhere in the owners manual what the weight distribution was. Maybe you could check there? I know the 924S was also very close to 50/50, I'm not exactly sure what it was though....

Later!

My S2 was 51/49 @ 2700lbs on scales......With a cage and race seats

I'm not sure of the S2, but the 951 was 50.7/49.3. I wonder what the weight difference in the 3.0l and 2.5l Turbo was.

Larry Parker

Im sure the S2 motor is less than the 2.5 turbo...... The only real difference is the size of the pistons and a extra cam......The turbo has got a bunch of extra piping and a heavy 20lbs turbo.....

According to the factory manual the S2 engine is the same weight as the S at 175Kgs. Also the front/rear axle weights are 640/640 making it a true 50:50.

Cabs are 49/51 in stock forum...

Is that with a full tank of gas? 20 gallons changed things.

When my S2 was on the scales it was 51/49 and was about 160 lbs heavier on the right than the left..so with a driver in the left side (160 lbs is pretty close to my weight) it should be setup pretty well.

My brother's '84 was almost dea don 50/50 with equal weight left and right sides
