the laser is WAAAAY more accurate.
the reason guys do the string is because it is not practical to keep taking a car to the shop for alignment, plus most do weight balance and alignment at the same time, don't waste your money on a string alignment. talk to the guy doing the alignment. tell him your are tracking it and if you have under steer tell him. take a look at the alignment settings before he adjusts anything.
for guys like you and me we aren't going to be doing a lot of suspension work so just take it to a shop for an $80 alignment, I did that on the 930 2 tire changes ago and I am still happy with it,
just fund a shop that has done a 911 before.
I would not go looking for better times out of the car until your driving is better. are you turning in too fast making the car under steer. when you get consistent and are getting all out of the car that you can then I would look at the car, but I would start with tires.
I take all my cars to the same guy now so I know him. I was talking to him one day and i leaned on the machine. the machine was accurate enough to show it.
I don't think alignment is going to upset weight to ever notice it. I have never had the 930 balanced and I cant tell.
