Ok the Club Sport "only" makes 240bhp, which is 30 steeds less, but it weighs next to nothing so it would kill it on the road/track!!


If thats still not enough the 305bhp Turbo S would humiliate it!!

here's a nice tribute to the Turbo S:

I like that 968S, because of the rounder bodywork.

You like it JSB88? Hmm, perhaps we can convert you to a patron of the 924/944/968 series :hehehe:

My lugnut requires more torque than your LS1 makes.

All he'd have to do is drive a Turbo S, or Club Sport and you can rest assured he'll be converted!

Ah, I don't know anyone with a Carrera GT in the UK...

I do know of a good 931 for sale though...

Needs a new interior, methinks...

Yeah, that interior is a really bad example...

How about this one?



But you'll probably like this one even more, mainly because the steering wheel is on the wrong side :P

Oops, didn't notice this post was referring to the GTS!

Actually, the GTS CS is some 600 lbs lighter than the 968 Club Sport, compare 2250 to 2850. Yes, the Turbo S does have a slight power advantage, but the weight kind of makes up for it. Besides, a good EFI 931 engine should be capable of 300+ hp as well.

Yeah, it's my ambition to make a fiberglass copy of that dash for my 924... skin it in padded leather, it'll look nice

ive never heard of a 968 GTS Club Sport... maybe thats an america only model? our club sport was called simply 968 club sport....

so now there are:
1) 968
2) 968 Sport (UK)
3) 968 Club Sport
4) 968 GTS Club Sport???
5) 968 Turbo S

correct me if thats wrong
