In the December 2008 issue of Grassroots Motorsports, page 52, in reference to the 951:

"These cars were every bit as fast as the 930..."

"The 944 turbo is an illustration of why you shouldn't create a lesser model that can run with you halo car."

Yes, that's so accurate and from the day Porsche realized their mistake the 951 was doomed.

Doubtless also the reason Chevrolet never developed a well-handling Camaro. A useful, 2+2 Corvette would have complicated their marketing and been a danger to their flagship.
