Default Automobile Magazine Showdown Article, Feb '87 Issue - 15 pages of scans inside

A shamefully long time ago, 'lister MarkD from the 964/993 forums sent me the Feb '87 issue of Automobile Magazine which included a showdown article where Derek Bell and others compare the 951 to the 911 Carrera, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Audi Quattro, and TVR 350i. I say shamefully long because upon being the first to jump on Mark's offer, I indicated that I would scan and post the article for the others interested... and Mark sent the mag to me last November.

I'm embarassed that I'm just now getting around to posting these, but better late than never, right? My apologies to those guys who requested the digitized copies for "backup purposes" back in November, and thanks again to MarkD. Here's the backup... Enjoy.

Notice it was only the 220hp 951 as well. Pity it wasnn't done a couple of years later.

EDIT: Yes thanks for the posting. Always nice to see our cars in a good light.

Great post, I'm convinced I need an Audi Quattro for next winter to complement the 951 now!
