Don't know about that, unless you mean the only CS cab ever built. In the depths of the Porsche Museum and wheeled out from time to time. They also did do a one off concept of a 968 Roadster in blue. Again, in the museum tucked away.

Thanks, that CS is what I was thinking of.

Have never read any specs on the Roadster...beautiful Tahoe Blue Metallic one-off. Interior highlights were a little much for my taste though.

Everything that I have heard or read about it said that is was to uncomfortable for a normal street car.

So right now - today, here in australia a Cab will command better buck than a coupe for sure.

As far as the topic of swaybars, coupes and cabs are very different. Cabs cannot be setup too stiff and need a certain amount of give or the ride quality really suffers. I would never go m030 suspension on a cab. I run m030 swaybars on mine with 18inch wheels and still find the ride to be compliant. If I were to switch to a stiffer/m030 suspension, all of a sudden the car will become unbearable to me.

Even with the steering wheel on the wrong side? (Tongue in cheek).
