horsepower: '92 vs '94 964

The guys working on my '92 964 also take care of a '94.

They say the '94 has a lot more zip the minute it accelerates, much more than mine.

SO are any of you aware of a major difference in 'snap' between the two.

thanks.

On paper, a bone stock 94C2 should feel just like a bone stock 92C2. In the real world, there can be genuine differences between two similar cars. Such things as tires, tire pressures, brake drag, throttle adjustment (is it really wide open when your foot is on the floor), condition of the cat, cleanliness of air filter, oil viscosity, and ignition parts can all have an effect on how quick the car feels. Add to that the possible wear to the air flow sensor and the aging of all the other DME sensors, and there are lots of reasons why one 964 can feel quicker than another. The only mechanical change that I am aware of that might influence performance would be the switch to the plastic intake from the early cast aluminum piece, but the factory specifications say that there was no change to HP or torque and I believe that the 92 and the 94 both had the later intake anyway. I don't know if there was any change to the factory DME chip in these years that would make the car respond differently. Perhaps someone can chime in on this.

A LWF, such as a 964RS setup, can make a big change in the character of the car. The stock duel mass flywheel is very heavy. A search of the forums will tell you all about the change.
