924 was kept in production overseas while it was unavailable in the mid-80's until the 924S came out here in North America.

I'm telling you, they are trying not to make anyone notice the 951. They lowered the power from the factory when they were made because the knew it was going to smoke the 911 turbo and now they don't even acknowledge that it was a porsche in this set. Why don't they have a turbo S instead of a 944 S2? I'm definitely NOT buying it..

Maybe they'll do a turbo set later with the 931, 937, 951 and 968 RS

It's available at your local Porsche dealer... which is also an explanation of the price!

I am with you here. They are also tried of hearing of all the 911 owners who are regularly getting blown off - with a smile and a wave. Just for this I'll pick a fight with two of them this weekend :-)
