A speedster would, imo look better as a narrow body. They were supposed to be the lightweight agile cars. I'm not sure that the extra 4" of width for the turbo body accomplishes that. How much lighter were they than the regular carrera? Unless it was at least 200#, then they missed the mark. I guess they did at least have the turbo suspension and brakes?
For me, something like the speedster should have enhanced performance (more than just a tiny bit).
Maybe if I ever drove one (which is unlikely at this point) I would change my mind. As stated, I wouldn't kick any '78-98 911 out of bed for leaving a slick wetspot on the sheets.
The worst '78-98 911 is still pretty darn good.

They made narrowbody 89 Speedsters, but not for US market.
