Interesting stats. I wonder how a 968TS would measure up to some of the competition with today's technology tires, brakes, suspension. The power was always there. I would think it should be able to atleast match the Cayman S, if not beat it. So, there should be atleast a solid 3 secs of old tech keeping the times up.
What is impressive is that the CS is a full sec faster than a 951TS. That is truely amazing.

Yes I can't see a Cayman S being much quicker than a 968TS, they aren't much pacier than a 968CS at our club.

Cayman S almost as fast as 996TT? Why does this sound false?

What is amazing is that the 951S is the slowest car on the list, even though there is a 928 on the list.

Even worse, 928 GTS can be automatic gearbox version. Or perhaps not. In any case GTS is noticeably faster.
