I remember reading a Car and Driver test from the early 80's with the 944,928, 308, and the Corvette. Even though all 3 cars were faster than the 944 the 944 still came out on top. It has been a while since i read it so I can't give you the reasons. Sorry. But for that $$$ I would opt to get a clean 944 turbo S.
