I can tell you a 308 did not have a chance...but then again a Fiero can beat a 308

Apparently......

1988 Ferrari 328 GTS (0-60) 6.7, (1/4 Mile) 15.0
1988 Porsche 944 Turbo (0-60) 6.6, (1/4 Mile) 15.1
1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S (0-60) 5.5, (1/4 Mile) 14.2

That's IF a 328 can make a 1/4 mile without dumping all its oil on the runway.......

The 328 is a great car, but nowhere near as fast as a 951S. Of course, if someone wanted to trade me a well maintained 328 for my 951S I'd take it in a heartbeat.

I would not be so sure about the performance difference between a 328 and 951S... I have driven and owned 951s but my friends 328 feels at least as fast...

But in stock form the Ferrari even has more power... 270hp/1250kg versus 250hp/1250kg for the 944 tbo S. It was just my opinion... I know the 951 has better handling

Data numbers are not everything.

Kept on neck and neck with my stock 951 last winter with a buddy's F355 spider in a straight line, he was impressed.

Never saw a 328 here though

A few years ago I posted a European Car magazine article on the 951S vs. 328. I don't have the link to it any more, but somebody can probably dig it up. According to the article, the 951S was faster than the 328 and held its own in the handling department.
