just spotted a 968CS thats identical to my Sport in colour, year and mileage except its a CS, has M030 and costs 2k more, im not really thinking of swapping already (know i would end up losing loads) but having never driven an M030 CS was wondering what the M030 benefits on the road would be, im pretty happy with my Sport as a pure road car (electrics are nice to have, still fairly raw but a decent stereo and acceptable ride over broken roads, i also doubt its any slower in a straight line, its only 30kg heavier)

obviously adjustable suspension and M030 brakes would have been a bonus, but is the LSD a big difference that can be felt in fast road driving tho?

have to admit at times on very smooth flowing tarmac the sport does feel a touch soft (tho this could be due to tired dampers/bushes etc), the car is still very sharp on turn in and there is a minimal amount of roll but i guess this is the compromise for when the surface gets broken and choppy

having run a car with adjustable suspension before i do miss that satisfying tailor-made feeling you can get with it after tinkering/experimenting

the brakes on the Sport id rate as adequate to good, so an upgrade there would be welcome (and probably cost 2k if aftermarket alone)

the LSD is the unknown factor to me, TBH if that car had come up before id have paid the extra provided i could fit in the recaro's and live with the ride but thats always the way isnt it?

think ill console myself in investing in a decent backbox for the sport, it really needs a better voice imo, any views on induction kits/airbox mods etc?

i wish i knew, ive never driven one

was thinking of going down there just to have a look and maybe blag a quick drive to compare but am very busy the next few weeks

considering i just bought my Sport less than a month ago it probably isnt a good idea financially
