The trip I make is at speeds more like rally. I kid you not. It's not for the weak at heart. You would have to be there.

Heavier yes, low speed absolutely not.

ok. who knows. i've just heard alot of people ( guess they are biased here) saying 944's , or should i say , 951's out handle them stock. but i don't know personally. I do know this 928 felt to have less body roll.

No arguement there. 951 is a great car. Just a different feel. I can't exactly discribe the handleing feel I have ,I just feel VERY confident going into a corner with the 928 knowing it will not break loose unless I lose it. It's one of those deals where you learn to push the car harder and harder and to tell you the truth I give up on my nerves before the car does. Does that make sense to you?

Also, weight distribution was mentioned earlier, and how is it measures (with how much fuel in the tank...this makes a huge difference). Im curious because i have an extra 40 pounds in the rear hatch from my tool box.
