IIRC, The cam is different for an autoshift car.

How would the 924S driveline hold up under an S2 motor? A local 924S with a 968 motor tore up the transmission in a matter of days. My guess is that the S2 motor is too much for the drivetrain.

How difficult would an upgrade would a 944S 2.5L 16v upgrade be? Bolt up? DME? Wiring harness? other?

How reliable would it be? I would like to keep reliability similar to a stock 924S.

In your opinion, what would the drving experience be like? The 924S is significantly lighter than the 944S. Would you recommend an upgraded exhaust as part of the package?
