[s-cars] S6 Diet

[Greg Johnson]

Keith, Taka, Crew

As I lay in bed last night I started thinking about it and eventually
began mentally "stripping" a 944 Turbo or 944 S2 and got the sucker down
to around 2900 lbs.  Plus, as Keith points out, they are RWD.  However,
this would not allow me to fly the flag of my favorite marque.
