Hey, both names start with a "K". I suppose people want me to *actually*
read the posts correctly? :^) What's wrong with hearsay, innuendo, and
rumors? The facts can just get in the way. :^)
Nonetheless, it was a very sizable margin. No doubt the ESP crew has put a
fair amount of dollars into their cars, just as you and Kent have to the
Supra, and as have Paul & Lynn and I put into our 968s. The 944 turbo crowd
have expended labor and finances to improve their rides. It's just that the
944s never had a chance to come to bat, let alone get a hit (or a home run).
I think I mentioned earlier that the down fall of the 944 is its gearing.
That has kept it from being a "contenda" (quote from the movie -----?).
