Harp, though you might be kidding, I have a very good case for the NA 944...

They're a lot more agile, and 100s of lbs lighter than both the turbo, and the S2...

Agility my friend!

Looking at the #s, the 944 is faster through the slalom, but that could change quite easily with wider tires in the front of (understeering) a 944 turbo or S2.

OK, I could make this TOO long, but I'll tell you this, in the past 8 months or so I've been auto-xing (religiously), I've NEVER gotten beat by another front engined Porsche, I've raced the car in C-Stock, AND C-street prepared. (in all honesty, the car wasn't totally within rules, it didn't have a thermostat, AND it's got a sport clutch, so yes, I'm cheating. Then again I did race against a modified 944 Turbo, that I was ahead of, BY 2.7 SECS! Which is the closest any front engined has gotten).

Coincidance? Bad drivers against me? Luck? Well, 2.7 secs is a lot, and I do race with street tires, against people with slicks... I got second place at regional finals, how'bout that? (beaten by a miata, almost emberassingly, nothing against the miata, don't get me wrong).

Now you might say, the 944 line isn't competitive, well, the last 2 (or was it 3) year's winner has been driving a 968, this year, he's still got the 68, but races a boxter S in Super Stock... So there you go, these cars are great, and a car doesn't have to pass the $20 test to be fun, as illustrated. (My car still does 0-60 in the mid 7 sec range though, driven moderately agressively).
