| I normally hate two tone paint jobs but they look very nice on 924s. I especailly love the silver on black! |

How do you feel about your 931 vs your 924S's?

931 vs 924s. . . .hmmmmm
Couple caveats are in order, I guess. First, my running 924s is a race car, and must comply with ICSCC rules for Pro44. Therefore, the engine is bone stock and fairly high mileage (close to 200k).
Also, Shaggy is fully mechanically restored. New rack and pinion, new suspension, 951 brakes, fresh engine with performance cam and full coatings, and a highly effective intercooler.
The result is that Shaggy would blow my race car off the track. And honestly, there's a visceral experience when you hear the turbo spool up and the boost pushes you back in the seat.
On the other hand, a 924NA vs a 924s is a no brainer in favor of the S. Porsche-designed silky smooth 2.5 (50% power increase, at a minimum), Motronic injection, nice power steering, improved HVAC, etc.
