968 vs. 928 = Just Curious
Today, I gave each of my babies the weekly 10-mile curvy road "lube and limber" run. After driving the 968 and the 928 back to back...I got to thinking....two very different rides. Raw brute strength in the 928 (and a cushy ride) but the 968 responds much quicker and "feels MUCH lighter" and more responsive in the curves. Very different cars. HOWEVER, this is strange to me since the weight difference between the 968 and the 928 is only a few hundred pounds. Can it be the suspension design? Lighther weight of engine in front on the 968? Or?
I gotta sell one of my cars and after driving them I just can't see myself selling any of them..so I keep hanging on. Each has it's merits. But....for the curvy road runs, I much prefer the 968. Nimble and fast...and seems to stick better.
Life's full of hard decisions. My '88 S4 will be on blocks for a few months until I get it "right". I'm timing the cams right now. Maybe I'll make it my daily driver and preserve the 968. It's not a lot different than a new car. The '88 has fewer miles but someone parked it in the sun too much. The others have been garage queens....and other than weekends, still are.
The Audi TT is the daily driver and quickly becoming a POS. I'm to the point I don't mind a few more dents in it.

A precursor of what 968ers will be experiencing. Better get those hoses now!
Fotos show two kinds of 928 smoke.
