Hi, I recognise some of the names here from the Audifans forums, I'm excited to say that I'm thinking of sampling S2 ownership at long last!
I'm currently running 3 cars but I ideally want to reduce this to 2 next year.
I bought the 968 about 2 years ago after missing a deal for an immaculate 1990 ur-quattro. It is certainly fast and satisfying on decent roads, but after owning several Audis I'm beginning to think perhaps I'm not the Porsche convert I was sure I would be.....
I've had my 2.2 Coupe for over 10 years and still really like the way it drives and how the 5 cylinder engine feels. Audi ergonomics and build quality are also easily up with Porsche. I'm keeping the A6 for our sensible family car, but I think I might replace the others with a late year S2. I've driven a 2.6l Coupe(and owned a 2.6l 80 Avant) , and it went pretty well, but I think it will take an S2 to be a decent sucessor to a 968 (240 BHP/176 kW, 156 mph/252 km/h). The S2 has more torque at lower rpm (long an Audi trait) and is only slightly down on power in standard spec.
So has anyone got any experience of the 968 Sport (or a late 944) compared to the S2? Or is there anyone in the Southwest UK who fancies testing these two models back-to-back?
