Default Early 951 VS Late 951

I searched but only found 951 VS other cars.

Other then the wheel offset and airbags, is there any performance differences between the 86 951 and the 87-91?
Is the handling the same? Engine components same? Engine performance same? Suspension same?
I appreciate you guy's help in always answering my questions.

the difference is between the pre-88 and post-88 cars, when they introduced the turbo-s. more reading here;

The biggest differences are between the S and non-S cars. You are right about the suspension (spindles, control arms, etc) being different on the 86 cars.

BTW, the 86 cars were the lightest(?) since no airbags or ABS were equipped in any of them

I use to have it in a higher res that I do now (like over 1mg) but I resized it and saved the resized one over the original (like an idiot). I'm pretty sure there are people who I e-mail'd the original size one to, but who???

I was once told that the 85MY of the 951 had the NA brakes.
Can anybody confirm this?

Do you have the 1st page where they show the linen 89 turbo?

Cyrus - How large is the Turbo S pic that you have? Mine is about 415K.

I meant comparing a 86 951 non S VS a late 951 non S.
Looks like the only differences are a oil pressure sending unit and the M30 Suspension upgrade. Is the M30 standard on all 87's? And is the 86 951 Suspension setup the same as a 87 n/a?
