Re: UrQ with K24, anyone with track experiences??

[John Karasaki <johkar@teleport.com>]

Here's fuel for the fire: I'm considering selling my urq and getting a 951
or 951S.  Why?  Because once I drove a 944, even bad examples (some
unmaintained roaches), it was tough to think about anything else.  IMHO,
for the money, there is no better all around performance vehicle available.
 Even the bad examples were pretty good driving and driver's machines.

Don't get me wrong; our urq is one of the better performing examples of the
marque.  There are a few list members that can attest to that.  It's just
not as balanced as the 951 -- and never will be without serious
modification and $$$.  Much easier to buy a 951 instead.

If you want to harass ferraris, corvettes, and 911's on the track, get a
951.  If you need to drive in the rain, snow and ice, however, stick with a
urq.

Just my opinion.  No flames please.
