I've always fancied a 944 as a run around and the 968 looks a more appealing (for rarity) twist on it. How different is this version from the CS? Is the suspension the same for example?
I quite liked the 944 but the 968 just kinda does it for me, I like it's styling and it's rarity as you mention, Club Sport prices have doubled in the past few years though like Z's so the Sport was still relatively good value for money, a good bit more than any 944's out there but I think I bought this car well, particularly with its lower owners and amazing Porsche history.
In 1994 and 1995, because the CS wasn't really selling in the UK, Porsche GB ordered a total of 306 cars from the Club Sport production line for import. Superficial spec changes included the addition of the Club Sport luxury package option which was things like electric windows and mirrors, power sunroof, power opening tailgate and the comfort Sports seats instead of the hard back recaros. These cars, marketed to attract British buyers looking for a little more comfort, were badged in the UK as 'Sport'. Apparantly Porsche Germany still lists them as Club Sports on their Certificates of Authenticity and the Sport badge is a UK only derivative.
As Flanky mentioned earlier the CS has a couple of other M030 and M220 options of LSD, cross drilled front brakes, stiffer springs and dampers, however these where options even on Club Sports and they dont necessarily all have them fitted. Mine has Bilstein CS spec adjustables fitted.
Sorry, I'm sure much of that is of no interest to the majority of this forum's readers
