I have an opportunity to buy 89 S2 or an 88 951. Both seems to have good maint records (timing belt, clutch cam belts etc), both are red, same price range $7.5K.
Haven't driven both...I am sure the owners would not allow me to drive the way I want to test drive it and choose!!!!
- Which one is preferred? I understand that 951 is faster in straight-line...S2 is more preferred for daya to day driving?
- Is there any difference in handling characteristics? I understand that both have the same suspension...
- From a maintenance/things can go wrong stand point which model is better?
- At PCA meets, which car gets more attention?
Its my first Porsche....any help is appreciated
I had posted this some where and what I understand is that
- S2's are rare. . s2 has duel overhead cam which could be a problem if the chain for the valves are not checked. Dificult to find some parts for S2 (harder to find heads in case of a blown cam chain or sprocket)
- 951 are fast and has more potential for upgrade. More resale value
