Tough one.....I'm going with the 928 but only if it doesn't have vanity mirrors. If the 928 owners can't watch themselvs while applying make-up they may actually figure out how to put it in Drive. Even then, it'll be a close race.

I think you're wrong. When I get my 968 back together I'll show you.

A 968 will beat a 951s (both stock) on a short track all day long.

Faster in a straight line or on a road/track?

Top speed? Acceleration? Shortest time around/across a circuit/route?

Which one loses value faster? Eats your savings faster? Breaks down faster?

in PCA racing the 968 is classed 1 group higher than a non S turbo.
In fact at Watkins Glen (a fast track) the F stock record is held by a 944S2 - not by a 951.....
