If you drive 2 similarly optioned vehicles you'll quickly notice how much stiffer the 987 chassis is- NOT the suspension necessarily, but the unibody itself is NOTICABLY stiffer. This matters even more when adding stiffer performance suspension- the unibody will flex more instead of the suspension undulating. I can definitely feel my 986 floorboards flexing over rough road after driving 987s...it feels like the dash, steering wheel, and windshield frame shimmy independently of your seat and back. And that's with a hardtop cranked down in attempt to achieve a little more stiffness. The 986 IS alot more simple when it comes to making a dedicated track car. If your going to cage it the body flex would be minimalized.
